Danfoss KP15 Dual Pressure Switch | Auto LP / Manual HP Reset | 060-124391

Product Description:

The KP15 (060-124391) provides comprehensive protection by monitoring both the low-pressure (suction) and high-pressure (discharge) sides of a compressor. In the UAE’s intensive cooling environments—such as industrial refrigeration plants in Abu Dhabi or commercial supermarket racks in Dubai—this switch is a key safety component. This specific model features an Automatic Reset for the Low-Pressure side and a Manual Reset for the High-Pressure side. This configuration is highly valued by UAE facility managers because it allows the system to recover from suction fluctuations automatically, but requires a technician to inspect the system if a dangerous high-pressure event occurs.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Enhanced Safety Protocol: The manual reset on the high-pressure side ensures that a technician investigates the cause of overheating or high pressure before the system restarts.
• Vibration-Proof Construction: Engineered to maintain precise setpoints even when mounted directly on high-vibration compressor frames.
• Fail-Safe SPDT Contact: Features a high-quality Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch that provides a clean electrical break and can trigger both a shutdown and a remote alarm.
• Rugged Performance: Built to withstand the extreme ambient temperatures and high humidity levels typical of the Middle Eastern climate.
• Broad Compatibility: Works with all common fluorinated refrigerants (HCFC and non-flammable HFC) used across the UAE.

FAQs:

• Q: Why would I choose the 060-124391 with manual HP reset over an all-auto model?
• A: In the UAE, high pressure often indicates a serious issue like a failed condenser fan or a blocked coil. A manual reset forces an inspection, preventing repeated cycling that could lead to compressor burnout.
• Q: How do I perform the manual reset in my Dubai facility?
• A: Once the pressure has dropped below the setpoint, a technician simply presses the reset button located on the top of the KP15 housing.
• Q: Can this switch handle high-pressure refrigerants like R410A?
• A: Yes, with a 32-bar high-pressure limit, it is suitable for most R410A applications common in UAE commercial air conditioning.
