Minimum S4/leaving media (freeze protection)
This protection modes keeps the temperature of leaving media out of the evaporator (given by temperature sensor
S4) on or above of minimum temperature set by the user. This is achieved by lowering the ow in the expansion
valve. When this mode is active this Super heat reference will be higher, the controller will switch back to superheat
control once the Temperature of leaving media goes above S4 min

NOTE:
An undershoot below the Min S4 is possible, so a frost protection is still needed to secure that the compressor is
stopped before the braze plate heater is destroyed by ice.

Priority of Protection features:
To overcome con icts between di erent limiters, a priority function is implemented as follows:
