3. Implemented KoolProg Software auto update feature
Whenever a new version of KoolProg is released into the market, user shall receive a pop-up message to update the KoolProg to its latest version.
4. Improvements
Performance has been improved significantly in the online service window.
Known issues/ Specific limitations to this release
- KoolProg sometimes doesn’t close the communication port when the MPK device is disconnected from KoolKey. This requires KoolKey disconnection and re-connection to free up the communication port.
- MPK (EKA 201) doesn’t support unknown controller file programming as these files cannot be opened in KP.
- MYK version below 5.01 may not support all KoolProg features for AK-CC 55 controllers.
- When performing convert settings for EKE 100 – 1V code numbers, the Convert Settings report currently displays parameters specific to EKE 100 – 2V code numbers. This issue will be resolved in the next KoolProg release.
Affected products
EKE 100 and EKE 110
Key message to customers
Supports updated software versions of EKE 100 & EKE 110 and with convert setting functionality.

OptymaTM Bare Condensing Unit Reciprocating Compressor Replacement
As part of the supplier decision, we will need to replace all all our bare condensing units equipped with reciprocating T and F compressors series.
Due to manufacturer compressor phase out and new available range we have designed alternative solutions to adapt to each specific customer’s need.
The possible change might impact the condensing unit size, the performance and sometime customer connection pipe when connection is made directly on the compressor.
Affected products
All bare light commercial condensing unit ranges equipped with brand labelled TL and FR compressors series.
- 15 compressors
- 63 condensing unit details will be given later upon condensing unit design development
Customer impact
- Last call for existing calls can be made up to
- End June for ordering
- Delivery up to September 2025
- Products will be stopped after stock consumption
- Dimension for implementation inside the customer application
- Change in mounting dimensions
- Change in terms of tubing connection (inlet and outlet)
- Compressor connection change (see below superposed view, old compressor in grey
- Cooling capacity deviation
- Possible compressor replacement issue on field due to new compressor fitment
Release of IPS 8 with R290 (Propane)
We are pleased to announce that for the Danfoss IPS 8 Air Purger, we can now offer a solution that supports an additional 8 purge points, providing a total of up to 16 purge points.
The IPS 8 extension module increases the number of purge points by an additional 8, resulting in a total of 16 purge points. This solution features an MCX08M2-based controller with a builtin HMI and included software, enabling communication with the MCX15B2 controller in the IPS 8 Air Purger.
The IPS 8 extension module can be positioned remotely from the IPS 8 Air Purger, such as placing the Air Purger in the machine room and the extension module near the condenser.
OptymaTM Slim Pack Piping Change (Rev2)
As part of Danfoss’ continuous quality monitoring, due to infrequent and extremely rare abnormal vibration discovered in the field under very specific working conditions, we are pleased to announce that we have extended the discharge tube piping design to ensure reliable operation for years to come, under all intended working conditions.
Description
Under specific working conditions Optyma Slim Pack models under mentioned can exhibit higher vibration levels. We have not detected any abnormal noise yet after several years of operation, but to ensure high quality products this optimization is part of our continuous product improvement process.
Affected products
All Optyma Slim Pack models with DS and CS compressors.
Strengthened Spindle and Cast Nut Designs of ICM Large Valves DN100-DN150
We are pleased to announce that, as part of our ongoing quality improvement efforts and to address supplier shortages, Danfoss has decided to modify the design of the ICM Large’s spindle and cast nut, resulting in improved lead times.
We have strengthened the design by:
- Increasing spindle thread diameter from 8 to 10 mm. (see Figure 1)
- Changed the nut going from M8 threat to M10 (see Figure 1)
Apart from the change of spindle and nut, nothing else has been changed in the ICM 100150, thus no impact on specified Kv (Cv) values or performance.
This change will apply to ICM sizes 100, 125, and 150, and will be implemented in two steps:
- Launch of New Repair Kits:
- A new repair kit will be introduced for each size, totaling three kits, which will include a new spindle, new cast nut, and locking ring for retrofitting.
- New sales codes for the repair kits will be created.
- Existing repair kits will be phased out.
- Implementation in all ICM Large products:
- The change will be applied to all ICM Large products (100, 125, and 150), including assembled valves and overhaul kits.
- Implementation will occur under existing sales codes, with no changes to the sales codes.
We anticipate a transition period during which both versions will be available from stock.
Note: This change is backward compatible with all ICM 100-150 models available on the market.
Step 1: Repair kits
** The dates provided are based on the best estimation of raw material stock levels and forecasts. These dates may change in response to variations in stock and forecast.
Step 2: ICM Complete Valve and Overhaul Kit
This change applies to all ICM Large models (100, 125, and 150), including assembled valves and overhaul kits. The implementation will be carried out using existing sales codes, with no changes to the sales codes.
** The dates provided are based on the best estimation of raw material stock levels and forecasts. These dates may change in response to fluctuations in stock and forecast.
