Pressure switch and Thermostat CAS

Product catalog summary
Overview: The CAS Series by Danfoss includes pressure and temperature controlled switches designed for robust and compact construction, suitable for industrial settings such as factories, diesel plants, compressors, power stations, and ships. These switches are known for their high enclosure levels and resistance to shock and vibration.
Features: The series offers fixed differentials and robust construction, with major marine approvals. It is CE-marked in accordance with LVD 2006/95/EC and other standards.
Approvals: The CAS Series has received approvals from maritime organizations like ABS, Lloyds Register, Germanischer Lloyd, and Bureau Veritas.
Technical Specifications: The switches use a microswitch with single pole changeover (SPDT) and have specific contact load capacities for AC and DC. They operate within certain ambient and medium temperature ranges and have specified vibration resistance.
Pressure Switches: The series includes standard, high-pressure, and differential pressure switches, each with specific pressure ranges and mechanical differentials. Materials in contact with the medium include stainless steel and brass components.
Thermostats: CAS thermostats have specific temperature ranges and mechanical differentials, designed to withstand certain ambient temperatures and specified vibration resistance.
Installation and Maintenance: CAS switches are designed for easy installation with a steel mounting plate and specific pressure connection guidelines. They are resistant to media and pulsations, with recommendations for installation in steam and water systems to prevent damage from heat or frost.
Ordering Information: Detailed ordering information is provided for each type, including setting ranges, mechanical differentials, permissible operating pressures, and code numbers.
Accessories: Various accessories are available, including connectors, reducers, adaptors, and damping coils, to facilitate installation and operation.
Conclusion: The CAS Series offers a comprehensive solution for pressure and temperature control in demanding industrial environments, focusing on durability, reliability, and compliance with international standards.
Electrical Connection: CAS thermostats are equipped with a Pg 13.5 screwed cable entry, suitable for cables ranging from 5 to 14 mm in diameter.
Installation: The document details the installation process for the 2-step CAS thermostat, type CAS 1080.
Function Differentials: The thermostat operates with mechanical and thermal differentials. The thermal differential depends on medium flow velocity, temperature change rate, and heat transmission to the sensor.
Thermostat Function: The thermostat's contacts change state based on temperature changes relative to the scale setting, triggering alarms for rising and falling temperatures.
Examples: Two examples illustrate the application of the CAS thermostat in setting alarms for temperature changes, including necessary scale corrections.
Mechanical Differential: Detailed explanation of the mechanical differential with diagrams showing contact operations at different temperatures.
Dimensions and Weights: The CAS thermostat with a remote sensor and 2 m armoured capillary tube has specific dimensions and a net weight of approximately 1.4 kg.
