Thermal Protection
A discharge gas thermostat is supplied to provide
overtemperature protection. These sensors are supplied
with low and medium temperature 06ER and 06EM
compressors. The sensor is factory installed into one
cylinder head to sense discharge gas temperature. The
sensor will open on temperature rise and close on tem-
perature fall. The thermostat pilot duty contacts are
rated for a 125 sealed VA and for an inrush of 1250 VA.
They are automatically resetting and provide complete
thermal protection.
Shown in Figure 16 is the discharge temperature sensor.
Figures 17 and 18 show the discharge temperature sen-
sor installed on a typical 4 and 6-cylinder 06E compres-
sor. This control device is a temperature switch that
opens on rising temperature and automatically closes
with falling temperature.
The sensor wire leads located in the compressor ter-
minal box are to be connected in series with the unit-
control circuit wiring.
