Low Pressure Switch

:   The low pressure switch is an automatic 

reset  that  senses  compressor  suction  line  pressure.  In  early 
production models, it opens at 40 PSIG and control closes at 80 
PSIG. In the latest productions models, 

it opens at 10 PSIG and 

control closes at 25 PSIG

.

 

 

 

 
Flow Switch

:   The flow switch senses liquid solution flow. The 

paddle  of  the  switch  is  inserted  through  a  fitting  into  the  pump 
discharge  line.  Liquid  solution  flow  deflects  the  paddle  and 
closing  the  switch.  The  flow  switch  is  position  sensitive.  The 
arrow  ↑  on  the  switch  must  point  in  the  direction  of  liquid 
solution flow. 

Maximum flow is not to exceed 14.4 GPM 

 

 

 
Compressor  Contactor:

      The  compressor  contactor  energizes 

the compressor through the two or three normally open contacts. 
The  contactor  coil  operates  by  closing  the  contacts  when 
energized by 24vac.

 

 

 

 
Liquid  Solution  Temperature  Control:

      The  liquid  solution 

temperature  control  is  an  adjustable,  microprocessor-based 
temperature  control.  This  control  receives  temperature 
information  from  a  thermostat  located  on  the  liquid  solution 
supply  line.  A  liquid  crystal  display  continually  indicates  the 
liquid  solution  temperature.  The  control  is  mounted  inside  the 
chiller cabinet.
