Danfoss MBC 5100 Block-Type Pressure Switch | Marine & Industrial | 061B000266

Product Description: The 061B000266 is built to provide unwavering reliability in the demanding environments of ship engine rooms and offshore platforms. In the UAE, where equipment must endure high ambient temperatures and significant mechanical vibration, the MBC 5100 series is the industry benchmark for stability. This model features a specialized regulation range of -0.2 to 1 bar, making it ideal for monitoring suction pressure, vacuum systems, or low-pressure cooling circuits in vessels at Dubai Maritime City or industrial zones in Abu Dhabi. Its “block” design allows for direct, space-saving mounting on machinery, ensuring the switching point remains accurate despite the intense vibrations typical of large marine engines.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Sensitive Low-Pressure Range: Optimized for -0.2 to 1.0 bar, allowing for precise control of vacuum and low-pressure media.
• Global Marine Certifications: Fully approved by major maritime authorities (DNV, LR, ABS, BV, GL, etc.), ensuring compliance for international vessels operating in UAE waters.
• Superior Vibration Stability: The compact block construction is purpose-built to maintain calibration in high-vibration environments, reducing false alarms and system trips.
• Modular Block Concept: Part of the Danfoss modular system, which allows for compact installation and easy pairing with MBV test valves for simplified on-site maintenance.
• Corrosion-Resistant IP65 Housing: Sealed against dust, water, and saline air, making it highly durable for coastal and offshore Middle Eastern applications.

FAQs:

• Q: Can the 061B000266 be used for vacuum monitoring in Dubai?
• A: Yes, with its range starting at -0.2 bar, it is perfectly suited for low-vacuum monitoring in industrial and marine applications across the UAE.
• Q: Why is the “Block” design important for Abu Dhabi’s offshore rigs?
• A: Block switches are more compact and significantly more resistant to the mechanical shocks and constant vibrations found on offshore drilling platforms compared to traditional switches.
• Q: How do I test this switch without stopping the system?
• A: By using the flanged connection to mount it on a Danfoss MBV 5000 test valve, UAE technicians can verify the switch’s setpoint while the system remains pressurized.
