Control switches
1. Thermo switch
A thermo switch is necessary. The following
specification is recommended.
Compressor OFF:
Evaporator fin surface temperature of 0°C
(32°F) or below.
The thermo switch is used to prevent the
evaporator from freezing.
2. Dual pressure switch
A dual pressure switch is necessary.
The following specifications are
recommended.
Compressor OFF
• High pressure control
2.65 MPaG {27 kgf/cm
2
, 384 psig} or
higher
• Low pressure control
0.18 MPaG {1.8 kgf/cm
2
, 26 psig} or
lower
The dual pressure switch controls high and
low pressure.
• High pressure control
When abnormally high pressure develops,
the compressor is turned OFF to protect the
system.
• Low pressure control
When there is insufficient refrigerant in the
system, compressor operation is stopped to
prevent the compressor from seizing.
