Danfoss KP5A High Pressure Switch | For Ammonia (R717) | 8.0 to 32.0 bar

Product Description:

The Danfoss KP5A (060-123166) is a cornerstone of safety for ammonia-based cooling systems across the UAE. Built to withstand the corrosive properties of R717, it features high-grade steel bellows and a specialized connection. With a wide setting range of 8 to 32 bar, it serves as a reliable high-pressure cut-out for compressors in Dubai’s ice factories, cold stores, and industrial processing units. The KP5A utilizes a snap-action contact system that ensures an ultra-short bounce time, protecting the electrical integrity of the control circuit. Its rugged, vibration-resistant construction is specifically designed to handle the mechanical stresses of large-scale industrial machinery, ensuring consistent safety performance in the Middle East’s most demanding environments.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Ammonia (R717) Optimized: Features specialized bellows and materials compatible with ammonia, the standard for UAE industrial cooling.
• High-Pressure Protection: A robust 8-32 bar range provides the necessary safety margin for high-side monitoring in Dubai’s heat.
• Compact Single Switch Design: Ideal for dedicated high-pressure safety loops where space in the control panel is at a premium.
• Trip-Free Manual Reset: Available on specific sub-models to ensure manual intervention after a high-pressure trip in UAE facilities.
• Short Bounce Contacts: High-quality snap-action mechanism reduces electrical wear and prevents contact welding.

FAQs:

• Q: Is the KP5A (060-123166) suitable for fluorinated refrigerants too?
• A: Yes, while it is specialized for Ammonia, the high-grade materials are fully compatible with R22, R134a, and R404A systems in the UAE.
• Q: What connection type does the KP5A use?
• A: It uses an M10 x 0.75 thread, which is the industry standard for ammonia pressure switches in Dubai; often used with a 6mm or 1/4″ cutting ring.
• Q: Why is a single KP5A used instead of a dual KP15A?
• A: Engineers in the UAE often prefer a separate KP5A for high-pressure safety to ensure an independent safety loop that is isolated from the regulation loop.
