Danfoss KP5 High Pressure Switch | Automatic Reset | 060-117191

Product Description: The KP5 (060-117191) is engineered to protect the high-pressure side of refrigeration compressors. In the UAE’s demanding cooling market—where rooftop units and plant rooms often face extreme heat—the KP5 acts as a fail-safe to prevent system over-pressurization. This model features an Automatic Reset and a regulation range of 8 to 32 bar. Its high-load SPDT contact system and vibration-resistant construction ensure that it provides reliable switching and a long service life, even when mounted on high-vibration compressor frames in Dubai’s industrial zones.

Key Features & Benefits:

• High-Pressure Cutout: Effectively protects compressors from damage caused by high discharge pressures, such as from a failed condenser fan or dirty coils.
• Automatic Reset: Resets the circuit automatically once the pressure drops below the differential setting, allowing for unmanned operation in UAE facilities.
• Vibration Resistance: Specially designed to maintain setpoint accuracy despite the heavy mechanical resonance common in large-scale HVAC systems.
• Short Contact Bounce: Minimizes electrical arcing and wear, extending the life of the switch and the connected electrical components.
• Universal Refrigerant Use: Suitable for all common fluorinated refrigerants (HCFC and non-flammable HFC) used across the Middle East.

FAQs:

• Q: Is the 32-bar range sufficient for R410A systems in the UAE?
• A: Yes, the KP5 is frequently used for R410A applications, though for very high-pressure safety requirements, the KP6 series is sometimes preferred.
• Q: Can this be used as a fan cycling switch in Dubai?
• A: Yes, due to its SPDT contact and adjustable differential, it is often used to cycle condenser fans to maintain stable head pressure.
• Q: What is the benefit of the flare connection?
• A: The 1/4-inch flare connection allows for easy, leak-proof installation using standard refrigeration hoses or copper capillary lines commonly found in UAE workshops.
