Product details Danfoss KP5A High Pressure Switch | For Ammonia (R717) | 8.0 to 32.0 bar Product Description: The Danfoss KP5A (060-123166) is a cornerstone of safety for ammonia-based cooling systems across the UAE. Built to withstand the corrosive properties of R717, it features high-grade steel bellows and a specialized connection. With a wide setting range of 8 to 32 bar, it serves as a reliable high-pressure cut-out for compressors in Dubai’s ice factories, cold stores, and industrial processing units. The KP5A utilizes a snap-action contact system that ensures an ultra-short bounce time, protecting the electrical integrity of the control circuit. Its rugged, vibration-resistant construction is specifically designed to handle the mechanical stresses of large-scale industrial machinery, ensuring consistent safety performance in the Middle East’s most demanding environments. Key Features & Benefits: Ammonia (R717) Optimized: Features specialized bellows and materials compatible with ammonia, the standard for UAE industrial cooling. High-Pressure Protection: A robust 8-32 bar range provides the necessary safety margin for high-side monitoring in Dubai’s heat. Compact Single Switch Design: Ideal for dedicated high-pressure safety loops where space in the control panel is at a premium. Trip-Free Manual Reset: Available on specific sub-models to ensure manual intervention after a high-pressure trip in UAE facilities. Short Bounce Contacts: High-quality snap-action mechanism reduces electrical wear and prevents contact welding. Technical Specifications : Specifications Value Manufacturer Danfoss Product Model KP5A Code Number 060-123166 Pressure Range 8.0 bar to 32.0 bar Differential (Diff) 3.0 bar (Fixed or Adjustable depending on version) Reset Function Manual Reset (Check specific configuration) Pressure Connection M10 x 0.75 Max. Working Pressure 35.0 bar FAQs: Q: Is the KP5A (060-123166) suitable for fluorinated refrigerants too? A: Yes, while it is specialized for Ammonia, the high-grade materials are fully compatible with R22, R134a, and R404A systems in the UAE. Q: What connection type does the KP5A use? A: It uses an M10 x 0.75 thread, which is the industry standard for ammonia pressure switches in Dubai; often used with a 6mm or 1/4″ cutting ring. Q: Why is a single KP5A used instead of a dual KP15A? A: Engineers in the UAE often prefer a separate KP5A for high-pressure safety to ensure an independent safety loop that is isolated from the regulation loop. View More View Less
