Product catalog summary
Introduction
The RT pressure control is a device designed for industrial and marine refrigeration applications, utilizing a pressure-operated single-pole changeover contact. It is suitable for differential pressure controls and PLC applications.
Features
The RT series supports both AC and DC currents, offers interchangeable contact systems, and includes waterproof versions. It has a wide regulating range, making it versatile for various applications.
Technical Data
The RT pressure controls feature a Pg 13.5 cable connection for 6 to 14 mm diameters, with an IP 66 enclosure rating (IP 54 for external reset versions). They operate in ambient temperatures from -50 to +70°C and comply with EN 60947 standards.
Approvals
The RT series holds multiple international approvals, including Lloyd’s Register of Shipping and Germanischer Lloyd, and is CE marked according to 60947-4, -5 and PED 97/23/EC category IV.
Materials in Contact with the Medium
Materials include stainless steel, brass, carbon steel, and aluminum, with treatments like zinc and nickel plating for corrosion resistance.
Ordering Information
Details on regulation ranges, differential settings, reset types, and connection options are provided for different RT models, along with materials and construction specifics.
Design and Function
The design includes a setting knob, regulation range scale, main spring, and bellows element. The pressure control balances pressure in the bellows with the main spring, transferring movement to the switch. Some models have a double bellows system for enhanced regulation.
Terminology and Setting
Terminology used in pressure control settings is explained, with guidance on adjusting settings for optimal performance.
Dimensions and Weight
Specifications for dimensions and weight are provided for various RT models to ensure compatibility with installation requirements.
Overview
This document is a technical brochure detailing the specifications, functions, and applications of Danfoss RT pressure controls and differential pressure controls, covering various models and compliance with standards.
Specifications
The RT pressure controls automatically stop the plant when pressure exceeds a set value, featuring a double bellows system to prevent system charge loss. Different versions have specific reset mechanisms, either automatic or manual.
Standards Compliance
The controls comply with EN 12263 / DIN 32733 standards, ensuring system safety in case of a regulating bellows rupture.
Applications
Differential pressure controls protect against low differential pressure across liquid circulation pumps and safeguard lubricating oil pressure in refrigeration compressors.
Terminology
Key terms such as floating control, hunting, neutral zone, and snap function are defined to clarify operational principles.
Reset Mechanisms
Settings for RT controls with automatic and manual resets for low and high-pressure applications are detailed, explaining differential and set pressure adjustments.
Models and Dimensions
Various RT models, including RT 6, 36, 30A, 117, 200, and 260A, are listed with approximate weight and housing dimensions.
