Danfoss MBC 5180 Block-Type Differential Pressure Switch | Marine & Industrial | 061B129966

Product Description: The 061B129966 is engineered to provide reliable differential pressure sensing under the extreme conditions of maritime engine rooms and industrial plants. In the UAE, this switch is widely utilized to monitor filter clogging and flow status in large-scale cooling systems and hydraulic power units. Its “block” design offers superior vibration stability, ensuring that the switching point remains accurate despite the intense mechanical stress common in vessels at Dubai Maritime City and industrial facilities in Abu Dhabi. With a regulation range of 0.3 to 4.5 bar, it provides critical safety monitoring for medium-to-low differential pressure applications.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Full Marine Certification: Approved by leading maritime authorities (DNV, LR, GL, ABS, etc.), ensuring compliance for all international vessels operating in UAE waters.
• Extreme Vibration Resistance: The compact block construction is purpose-built to maintain accuracy on high-vibration machinery and marine engines.
• Sensitive Differential Control: Optimized for a 0.3 to 4.5 bar range, providing accurate detection of pressure drops—essential for preventing equipment damage in the UAE heat.
• Space-Saving Block Design: Allows for direct mounting and compact installation in dense control panels where space is a premium.
• Rugged IP65 Housing: Protects the internal SPDT contact system from the humid, saline air and dust characteristic of Middle Eastern industrial environments.

FAQs:

• Q: Why is the MBC 5180 061B129966 used for filter monitoring in the UAE?
• A: It detects the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of a filter; if the difference exceeds the setpoint (0.3-4.5 bar), it signals that the filter is clogged and needs maintenance.
• Q: Can this switch handle high static pressures?
• A: Yes, while it monitors a small differential range, it is designed to withstand high static pressures common in UAE industrial and marine systems.
• Q: Is it suitable for offshore oil and gas rigs in Abu Dhabi?
• A: Absolutely. Its robust design and marine approvals make it a standard choice for offshore applications where reliability is non-negotiable.
