PRESSURE SWITCH (MRD-12-60032-05)

The Pressure Switch is a key safety and control component in transport refrigeration systems. It monitors refrigerant pressure throughout the system and helps protect components from operating outside their safe pressure limits.

• Pressure Detection: The pressure switch senses pressure levels at various points in the refrigeration circuit, including both high and low-pressure sides.
• Protecting the System: When pressure exceeds or falls below preset thresholds, the switch activates to shut down the compressor or trigger alarms, preventing potential damage.
• Optimizing Performance: By regulating compressor operation based on pressure readings, the switch contributes to maintaining efficient refrigeration cycles.
• Reset Functionality: Depending on the model, some pressure switches reset automatically when pressure returns to normal, while others require manual reset.
• Diagnostic Support: Activation of the pressure switch can indicate problems such as refrigerant leaks, blockages, or component failures, assisting in troubleshooting and maintenance.

Overall, the pressure switch is essential for protecting transport refrigeration systems by monitoring pressure levels and ensuring safe operating conditions.
