Thermostat
KPU
The KPU Thermostats are temperature controlled
electrical switches, which are applied for regulation
and safety monitoring of refrigeration and air
conditioning systems.
KPU sensors are available with vapor charge or
with adsorption charge. The Thermostats with
adsorption charge are widely used to give frost
protection, while vapor charged sensors are used
where small dierential is required.
All KPU Thermostats have a single pole double
throw (SPDT) contact system. Theposition of the
switch depends on the thermostat setting and the
bulb temperature.
