Danfoss MBC 5100 Block-Type Pressure Switch | Marine & Industrial | 061B100666

Product Description: The 061B100666 is engineered for environments where mechanical stress is high and space is at a premium. In the UAE, this switch is widely utilized in ship engine rooms at Dubai Maritime City and on oil and gas platforms off the coast of Abu Dhabi. With a regulation range of 5 to 20 bar, it is perfectly suited for monitoring medium-to-high pressure applications such as hydraulic control lines, fuel injection systems, and compressed air circuits. Its “block” design allows it to be mounted directly onto machinery, ensuring the internal mechanisms remain unaffected by the intense vibrations typical of industrial and marine engines in the Middle East.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Elite Marine Certifications: Fully approved by major classification societies (DNV, LR, ABS, BV, GL, etc.), ensuring it is ready for deployment on international vessels in UAE waters.
• Exceptional Vibration Stability: The robust block construction is specifically designed to handle the high-frequency vibrations found in industrial pump rooms and engine bays.
• Mid-High Pressure Range: Optimized for a 5.0 to 20.0 bar range, offering reliable safety and control for pressurized fluid systems.
• Modular Block Connectivity: Features a flange for direct mounting to Danfoss MBV test valves, allowing for quick, on-site maintenance and testing in UAE industrial zones.
• Hermetic IP65 Protection: Sealed to prevent dust and water ingress, maintaining operation in the high humidity and saline environments of coastal UAE.

FAQs:

• Q: Can the 061B100666 be used for fuel oil pressure monitoring in Dubai?
• A: Yes, the 20-bar upper limit makes it highly effective for monitoring fuel feed lines and secondary hydraulic circuits on marine vessels.
• Q: Why is the fixed differential important for UAE industrial applications?
• A: A fixed, low differential ensures high repeatability and prevents “chattering,” providing stable control in critical safety applications.
• Q: Is it possible to test this switch without stopping the ship’s engine?
• A: Yes, when mounted on a Danfoss MBV 5000 test valve, UAE technicians can isolate the switch from the main line and apply a test pressure to verify its function.
