MAKING MODERN LIVING POSSIBLE

Temperature controls,
Type KP
KP temperature controls are single-pole,
double-throw (SPDT) temperature-operated
electric switches.
A KP temperature control can be connected
directly to a single-phase AC motor of up to
approx. 2 kW or installed in the control circuit
of DC motors and large AC motors.
KP temperature controls are used for
regulation, but can also be seen in safety
monitoring systems.
KP temperature controls are available with
vapour charge or with adsorption charge.
With vapour charge the differential is very
small. KP thermostats with adsorption charge
are widely used to give frost protection.

The switch in the KP has a snap-action function
and the bellows move only when the cut-in or
cut-out value is reached.
The design of the KP temperature control affords
the following advantages:
yy high contact load
yy ultra-short bounce time
yy v ibration resistance up to 4 g
in the range 0-1000 Hz
yy long mechanical and electrical life.

Terminology
KP 98, dual thermostat
Dual temperature control KP 98 is used to
provide protection against excessively high
discharge gas temperature and to ensure a
suitable oil temperature in the compressor.
To avoid the temperature of the hot gas
exceeding the maximum permissible value
during extreme operating conditions (low
evaporating pressure, high condensing
pressure, high suction vapour superheat) a KP
98 temperature control can be used on the high
temperature side (HT). If the temperature of the
hot gas becomes too high the refrigerant will
break down and the compressor discharge valve
will become damaged.
The risk is greatest in refrigeration systems that
operate on a high compression ratio (e.g. in
systems with NH3 or R22) and in applications with
hot gas bypass.
This unit has two separate thermostat functions.
The HT sensor that controls the discharge gas
temperature is fitted on the discharge tube
immediately after the compressor.
For larger compressors, the sensor can be built
into the discharge line.
The OIL sensor that controls the oil temperature
is located in the compressor oil sump.
Differential
The differential is the difference between the
make and break temperatures.
A differential is necessary for satisfactory
automatic operation of the plant.
Reset
1. Manual reset:
Units with manual reset can only be restarted
after the reset button has been activated.
On min. reset units the set value is equal to the cut-out value for falling temperature.
On max. reset units the set value is equal to the cut-out value for rising temperature.
Mechanical differential (intrinsic differential)
The mechanical differential is the differential set
by the differential spindle.
Operating differential (thermal differential)
The operating differential is the differential
the plant operates on. Operating differential is
the sum of the mechanical differential and the
differential produced by the time constant.

2. Automatic reset:
These units are automatically reset after
operational stop.

Setting
Charges
Temperature controls, type KP
Temperature controls with automatic reset
Set the upper activating temperature on the
range scale.
Set the differential on the "DIFF" scale.
The temperature setting on the range scale will
then correspond to the temperature at which the
refrigeration compressor will be started on rising
temperature. The compressor will be stopped
when the temperature has fallen in relation to
the differential setting.
Note that the differential depends on the range
setting. Therefore, the differential scale
must only be used as guideline.
If with low stop temperature settings the
compressor will not stop, check whether the
differential is set at too high a value!
1. Vapour charge
9. Bellows element
17. Sensor (bulb)
19. Capillary tube
Here the interdependence between the pressure
and temperature of saturated vapour is utilized,
i.e. the element is charged with saturated vapour
plus a small amount of liquid.
The charge is pressure-limited; a further increase
in pressure after evaporation of all the liquid in
the sensor (17) will only result in a small pressure
increase in the element.

Temperature controls with minimum reset
Set the stop temperature on the range scale.
The differential is a fixed setting.
The compressor can be restarted by pressing
the “Reset button” after the temperature on the
thermostat sensor has risen by a value equal to
the fixed differential setting.
Temperature controls with maximum reset
Set the stop temperature on the range scale.
The differential is a fixed setting.
The compressor can be restarted by pressing
the “Reset button” after the temperature on the
thermostat sensor has fallen to a value equal to
the fixed differential setting.
This principle can be utilized in temperature
controls for low temperature, etc. where
evaporation must be able to take place from
the free liquid surface in the sensor (within the
operating range of the thermostat), and where
at the same time, the bellows must be protected
against deformation when kept at normal
ambient temperatures.
Since the pressure in the element depends on
the temperature at the free liquid surface, the
thermostat must always be placed so that the
sensor is colder than the rest of the thermostatic
element.
The evaporated liquid will recondense at the
coldest point, i.e. the sensor. Thus, as intended,
the sensor becomes the temperature-controlling
part of the system.
Note: When the sensor is coldest, the ambient
temperature has no effect on regulating
accuracy.
In this case the charge consists partly of a
superheated gas and partly of a solid having a
large adsorption surface.
The solid is concentrated in the sensor (17) and
it is therefore always the sensor that is the
temperature-controlling part of the thermostatic
element.
The sensor can be placed warmer or colder
than thermostat housing and capillary tube, but
variations from +20°C ambient temperature will
influence the scale accuracy.
