Differential pressure switch / Lube oil protection control
MP 54 and MP 55
MP 54 and MP 55 oil dierential pressure switches
are used as safety switches to protect refrigeration
compressors against low lubricating oil pressure.
If the oil pressure fails, the switch will stop the
compressor after a predetermined time period has
elapsed.
MP 54 and MP 55 are used in refrigerating systems
using HCFC and non-ammable HFC refrigerants.
MP 54 has a xed dierential pressure setting. It
also incorporates a thermal time relay with a xed
release time setting.
MP 55 have adjustable dierential pressure and are
available with thermal time relay.
