Abstract
A method of controlling a refrigeration case of a refrigeration system including the steps of locating an expansion valve of a refrigeration case, moving the expansion valve of the refrigeration case out of a predetermined position, sampling temperature readings from an evaporator coil of a refrigeration case, calculating an adaptive proportional-integral-differential (PID) of the temperature of the evaporator coil for the refrigeration case, and moving the expansion valve to a second position closer to the predetermined position based on the calculated proportional-integral-differential until the temperature of the evaporator coil for the refrigeration case is within a predetermined temperature range.
