Danfoss KPS 79 Thermostat | Heavy Duty & Marine | 060L310466

Product Description: The KPS 79 (060L310466) is a heavy-duty thermostat designed to perform where standard controls fail. In the UAE’s maritime sector—from offshore rigs in Abu Dhabi to container ships in Jebel Ali—the KPS series is renowned for its resistance to high vibration and shock. This model features a robust enclosure and a high-performance SPDT contact system. Its design is optimized for monitoring and alarm systems in engine rooms, where constant mechanical stress and high ambient temperatures are the norm. The KPS 79 provides reliable switching and long-term stability, ensuring critical cooling or heating systems remain within safe operational limits.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Marine & Industrial Certified: Carries all major maritime approvals (LR, DNV, GL, BV, etc.), making it essential for vessels operating in UAE territorial waters.
• Exceptional Vibration Resistance: Engineered to maintain accuracy even when mounted directly on high-vibration machinery like marine engines or industrial pumps.
• Superior Enclosure Protection: Features a rugged IP67 rating, making it completely dust-tight and resistant to water immersion—perfect for the harsh, saline air of the UAE coast.
• High Reliability Contact System: The gold-plated or silver-contact SPDT switch ensures minimal wear and maximum electrical life in high-cycle industrial applications.
• Adjustable Differential: Allows UAE engineers to fine-tune the switching points to match specific system requirements, preventing “hunting” and unnecessary equipment wear.

FAQs:

• Q: Why is the KPS 79 used instead of the KP series in Abu Dhabi oil rigs?
• A: The KPS series offers much higher vibration resistance and a superior IP67 seal, which is necessary for the extreme environmental and mechanical stresses of offshore oil and gas operations.
• Q: Is the 060L310466 suitable for monitoring lube oil temperature?
• A: Yes, with a range of 50°C to 100°C, it is perfectly suited for monitoring lubrication oil or engine jacket water in large-scale marine engines.
• Q: Can this thermostat withstand the high humidity in Dubai Maritime City?
• A: Absolutely. Its IP67 rating ensures it is fully protected against the heavy humidity and salt spray typical of UAE maritime environments.
