Introduction
- The Danfoss Intelligent Purging System (IPS 8) is a stand-alone, self-contained purging unit designed to remove non-condensable gases (NC gases = air and other unwanted foreign gases) from industrial ammonia refrigeration systems.
- The IPS control can handle up to 8 purge points automatically.
- The ingress of NC gases into a refrigeration system is inevitable, regardless of the refrigerant, pressures, or temperatures.
- NC gases in the system will result in a decrease in the system efficiency, both in terms of an increase in power consumption and reduced cooling capacity.
- Due to having a different density than ammonia, the ingressed air will accumulate in specific areas of the system, where it can be removed using the Danfoss IPS 8.
- The accumulation areas are identified in the Connection locations section, along with recommended connection principles.
- The purger unit is an electronically controlled, self-contained R452A refrigerant system that runs independently of the main ammonia system and with only one flange connection to the ammonia plant.
- The flanged opening allows the ammonia gas/NC gas mix access to the purger’s heat exchanger, where it is split into ammonia condensate and NC gases.
- The ammonia condensate is returned by gravity to the main plant, while the NC gases are purged to the atmosphere through e.g. a water bath.
- Through the flanged opening, the purger unit has access to the parameters from the ammonia plant required for full electronic control.
- The unit runs automatically in 24-hour cycles, checking for the presence of NC gases and, if present, removing the NC gases.
- To regain and retain the design capacity of the main ammonia system and prevent future air accumulation, it is highly recommended to install the Danfoss IPS 8.

- With our solution of IPS 8 Air Purger combined with the Bubbler, we can help customers keep machine rooms free of ammonia smelling, while IPS 8 removes the non-condensable gases, and purges the Bubbler.
Working principle
- The Danfoss IPS 8 is factory-tested and ready to use in ammonia plants with a condenser pressure of more than 6,5 bar (94 psi). The purger is charged with 900 grams (31.7 oz) of R452A.
- Only 1 mechanical connection is needed for the purger (see fig. 1).
- The flow of ammonia/NC gases from the main plant is done through the flange for ammonia (see 13 in Fig. 1 below), while the NC gas purge is done through the blow-off pipe after the purge restrictor (18).
- Through the flange for ammonia (13), a mixture of ammonia gas and NC gases enters the heat exchanger (12) part of the purger.
- The ammonia gas/NC gas mix is cooled down below the condensing temperature of the ammonia by the R452A circuit.
- At this point, ammonia gas condenses and returns by gravity to the ammonia plant whereas the NC gases accumulate in the heat exchanger (12) for subsequent purging.
- By condensing the ammonia gas, a new ammonia/NC gas mix is naturally pulled through. This new mix is separated through a continuous process.
- As the NC gas concentration in the heat exchanger (12) increases, the R452A heat exchanger pressure and temperature will simultaneously decrease.
- The controller continuously monitors the R452A heat exchanger pressure as well as ammonia pressure and temperature. When the R452A pressure reaches a predefined pressure difference when compared with the ammonia pressure (temperature) it prepares to purge the NC gases through the solenoid valve (16). The blow-off is activated by the solenoid (16) and through appropriate piping/hosing, should be led into a water bath.
- This process is recommended to retain small amounts of ammonia (see Installation section).

Working cycle
- The Danfoss IPS 8 operates in 24-hour cycles, of which 45 minutes are dedicated to an R452A pull-down. At power on, the pull-down is initiated immediately. If no NC gases are detected during the 40-minute pull-down, the system will close the solenoid valve at purge point 1 and open the solenoid valve at point 2. After a cycle time of 24 hours/N (Number of purge points), the compressor will pull down again condensing the ammonia. After 24 hours, all purge points have been vented one time.
- To identify NC gases, the controller utilizes upper and lower thresholds for R452A evaporating temperature. If, during pull down, the temperature continues decreasing and the lower threshold is passed, the controller considers this to be a high concentration of NC gases and opens the purge solenoid valve. The purge valve will stay open until sufficient condensing ammonia is present to lift the R452A evaporating temperature above the upper threshold.
- The compressor will continue running and if the temperature again decreases below the lower threshold, a new purge will be performed.
- This process will be repeated until the R452A heat exchanger temperature stays above the lower threshold for >40 minutes following the previous closure of the purge valve.

Air traps
- For systems with low-pressure liquid level control, the correct condenser/ receiver installation is shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5.
- The discharge gas from the compressor (1) is led to the condenser (2) where it is condensed. The receiver (3) holds the liquid until there is a demand for liquid from the LP side, e.g., until the expansion valve (4) opens. If the expansion valve is closed, the liquid condensed in the condenser will need to be stored in the receiver and the level will increase. To ensure a free ˝ow to the receiver, the gas must be allowed to leave the receiver; this process is accomplished through the pressure equalizing line (a).
- The pressure equalizing line makes the pressure in the receiver the same as in the compressor discharge line. The pressure in the condenser outlet is lower due to the pressure loss in the condenser.
- Since the condenser outlet pressure is lower than in the receiver, it is therefore necessary to mount the condenser higher than the receiver and allow for a higher liquid level in the piping between the condenser and the receiver (b).
- The liquid column in line (b) compensates for the pressure difference between the condenser outlet and the receiver.
- Fig. 4 shows the liquid connection at the bottom of the receiver.
- If the liquid from the condenser is connected to the top of the receiver (Fig. 5), a slightly different arrangement must be made.
- The liquid line (b) from the condenser to the receiver will need to have a gooseneck/liquid trap to ensure that the liquid column is established.
- As air is heavier than ammonia gas, the air will collect in two locations in this type of installation: On top of the liquid in the receiver (x) and/or on top of the liquid in the drop leg from the condenser (y).
Connection locations
Air purger installation in a low-pressure level controlled installation
- The correct locations for the air purger to be connected to the ammonia plant are: (See Fig. 6 and Fig. 7)
- on top of the receiver or
- on top of the liquid in the drop leg from the condenser.
- The air purger (5) is connected to the two purge points through solenoid valves (px and py). Note that only one solenoid should be open at any given time, otherwise the liquid column in the condenser will be short-circuited.
- The air purger must have its own liquid return drop leg (c) connected in parallel with the condenser’s drop legs (b).
- When the purger is connected to the receiver i.e. solenoid (px) open, the liquid level in the air purger drop leg (c) will be equal to the receiver liquid level (3);
- When the purger is connected to the condenser outlet i.e. solenoid (py) open, the liquid level will be equal to the liquid level in the condenser drop leg (b).
- Alternatively, the air purger draining of liquid can be achieved effectively through an HP ˝oat valve (6) to the low pressure side (see Fig. 7).
- For systems with a high-pressure liquid level control, the air will collect in the ˝oat valve (3). (See Fig. 8).
- The compressor (1) supplies high-pressure gas to the condenser (2), where it is condensed.
- The ˝oat valve (3) will ˝ash any liquid back to the LP side. The air purger (5) must be connected to the ˝oat valve through a solenoid valve (pv).
- The ammonia liquid condensed in the air purger must be drained through drain pipe (c) to the LP side via a ˝oat valve (6).
General
- The air purger must always be mounted above the highest liquid level to be able to drain the ammonia condensed in it. Otherwise, the air purger can ˝ood and potentially purge ammonia liquid.
- The purger liquid return leg (c) must always be mounted vertically or at minimum, with a downward slope.
- The solenoid valves at the connection points must never be activated at the same time. Finalize purging at one location before switching to the next.
WARNING: Cod. 99000572
- Follow the installation guide strictly during Purger installation. Install the Purger unit in a location where the bottom flange level and any gas inlet connection level are above any possible ammonia liquid level.
- Liquid drain piping from the purger must always have a downward slope.
- Install a shut-off valve close to the bottom flange entrance to enable the removal of the unit and closing for high-pressure ammonia gas.
- Connect proper resistant piping to the purging outlet pipe and ensure the purged non-condensates are discharged into a water bath of max. 200 liter.
Connection points
Multi-point purging
- As factory default, the Danfoss IPS 8 is conÿgured to manage up to 8 purge points. (Multi-point purging. See Fig. 10).
- The actual amount of purge points connected needs to be set up in the MCX controller after power-up.
- The parameter in question for entering the actual number of purge points: is V10, Max_PP (See Table 3).
- Single point purging setup is possible (See Fig. 09 -no purge solenoid valves).
- For single-point purging the parameter in question for entering the actual number of purge points: V10, Max_PP must be set to 1 (See Table 3).
- Both power and control wiring of the installed solenoid valve coils should take place before the First power-up.
- NEVER HAVE MORE THAN 1 PURGE POINT OPEN AT A TIME. Always close one purge valve before opening the next.
- This is done by turning the purger unit power on and entering the number of actual purge points (V10, Max_PP) in the program. See section “Programming/conÿguration”.

Installation
- The Danfoss IPS 8 must be installed under locations recommended in the Connection Locations and Connection Points sections of this document.
- The unit has a protection rating of IP55 and may be installed outside, in ambient temperature ranges from from -10 °C to 43 °C / 14 °F to 109 °F).
- Avoid installation in direct sunlight as this may lead to excessive sunlight exposure and ambient temperatures above allowed limits.
- For ambient temperatures below -10 °C (14 °F), the air purger must be installed in a heated and ventilated area.
- The unit must be installed in a non-ATEX atmosphere as the purger unit is not explosion-proof.
- The purger unit should be kept in an upright position at all times – from receipt to ÿnal installation.
- Use all 4 lifting eyes and suitable lifting gear during installation (unit weight = 100 kg/220 lbs).
- Install the unit on an even horizontal base 0.05 to 1.1 meter (2 to 43 in) above a service platform with su°cient support and allow the purger subframe to be bolted to the support (see example in Fig. 12).
- Maintain recommended distances in all directions (Fig. 12) to allow fan cooling and servicing.
- Always leave the unit o˛ for at least 12 hours from finished installation to first time power up.
- It is important that the support construction is level to ensure the internal liquid trap is properly Filed.
Angle to horizontal < 2 degrees
- Prepare the ammonia pipework with the weld ˝ange according to Fig. 13 and Fig. 14. The main/drain piping should never be smaller than the inner diameter Ø37 mm (1.5 in).
- Complete the supporting structure able to carry 100 kg (221 lbs).
- Lift the purger into position using the lifting eyes on each side of the purger’s cabinet. Remove the rubber plug from the ˜ange opening. See Fig. 13.
- Connect the weld ˝ange with the purger ˝ange using the enclosed ˝at gasket and tighten the supplied 4 bolts diagonally to a torque of 60 Nm (44.3 ft-lb).
- Insert 4 bolts (not supplied) through the purger frame and the support construction and tighten.
- Perform a leak test to ensure an airtight connection.
- In the event the purger unit needs to be dismantled please contact Danfoss for instructions.
- Correctly install a suitable pipe/hose from the purge solenoid valve for blow-o˛ of NC gases under local or national regulations.
- Prepare an outside water tank with a maximum of 200 liters (53 gal.) and ensure the piping allows the purged gas to be immersed in the water.
- Regularly check the pH level of the tank’s contents.
- The pH level should never exceed 12.6. Otherwise, the water content must be renewed.
- Dispose of concentrated wastewater per local/national regulations.
- Note: Before replacing the water in the water tank ensure that the purger is switched o˛ and the shut o˛ valve at the ˝anged purger inlet is closed.
- Leave the unit in this condition for a period to allow the remaining gas in the piping to be dissolved/released.
- Watch out for bubbles.
- Establish a procedure for regularly checking the pH level and bubble pattern.
- If continuous bubbles are observed in the water tank during ‘‘stand by” (Green light indicator) in normal operation, one or more of the purge solenoid valves need repair or replacement.
Electrical wiring
- The internal wiring of the purger is done at the factory. Only the electrical wiring for the main power supply, the purge point solenoids, and optional bus communication need wiring on site.
- It is highly recommended that all external cables coming from the IPS 8 to the power supply and all purge point solenoids are protected by metallic pipes.
- The controller box cover can only be opened at key unlock and with the main switch o˛.
- Note: Authorized personel only

Modbus RTU Good Practice
- The wiring of Modbus RTU (RS485) must be carried out per the standard ANSI/TIA/EIA-485-A-1998.
- Galvanic separation shall be provided for segments crossing buildings. Common ground shall be used for all devices on the same network inclusive routers, gateways, etc.
- All bus connections in the cables are made with twisted pair wires.
- The recommended cable type for this is AWG 22/0.32 mm˘. If used for longer distances please use an AWG 20/0.5mm˘ or AWG 18/0.75mm˘ cable. The cable characteristic impedance shall be between 100 – 130
- The capacitance between conductors shall be less than 100 pf per meter.
- Note: the length of the cables influences the communication speed used. Longer cable lengths mean a lower baud rate should be used. The maximum cable length allowed is 1200m.
- Use a minimum 20 cm distance between 110V/230V/400V power line cables and bus cables.
Maintenance/Service/Disposal
Table 03 Maintenance checklist – Perform once a year minimum
1 | Use the P&I diagram and check that all powered components are working properly |
2 | Check for alarms in the MCX controller |
3 | Fans, air filters, and fins must be cleaned for dirt and dust |
4 | Expansion valve must be inspected and must be replaced if damaged |
5 | Ensure the expansion valve sensor bulb has good contact with the suction line |
6 | Replace water in a water bubble bath. Check pH level frequently and replace when pH > 12.6 |
7 | Check cover is mounted correctly and all bolts are tightened accordingly |
8 | Check and verify the amperage of the unit |
9 | Check for abnormal compressor noises in normal operating conditions (may indicate loose bolts, worn bearings, or pistons) |
Table 04 Procedure to isolate IPS for servicing
Multipoint | Single-point purging from the receiver | |
