Danfoss 060L5218 KPU71 Temperature Control

The Danfoss 060L5218 KPU71 Temperature Control is a heavy-duty SPDT thermostat designed for precision air conditioning and refrigeration system regulation. Operating within a 25°F to 70°F temperature range, this control features an automatic reset mechanism and a fixed 7°F differential, ensuring stable head pressure or temperature cycling in demanding environments. Engineered for versatility, the KPU71 utilizes a vapor charge sensor with a 78-inch capillary tube, allowing for remote sensing and flexible installation in walk-in coolers or commercial HVAC units. The single-pole double-throw switch configuration enables the control of both heating and cooling circuits or the integration of high-temperature alarms. Its robust construction resists vibration and mechanical wear, making it a reliable choice for refrigeration pressure switches and HVAC temperature regulation tasks where setpoint drift must be minimized. This Danfoss KPU series controller is cross-compatible with several industry-standard mounting patterns, facilitating rapid field replacement for technicians.

• Wide Temperature Range: Covers 25°F to 70°F, ideal for a variety of medium-temperature refrigeration and HVAC applications.
• Snap-Action SPDT Switch: Provides crisp contact engagement to prevent arcing and ensure long-term electrical reliability.
• Automatic Reset: Eliminates the need for manual intervention after clear-setpoint deviations, maintaining system uptime.
• Enhanced Durability: Built with high-grade bellows and a finger-proof housing to survive harsh mechanical room conditions.
• Standard Capillary Length: Includes a 78-inch (2m) lead for easy positioning of the bulb in optimal airflow paths.

Is the Danfoss KPU71 compatible with all refrigerants?

The KPU71 060L5218 is typically used for air temperature applications, though its sensor is compatible with systems utilizing standard HCFC and HFC refrigerants when used in conjunction with appropriate thermowells.

Can I adjust the differential on this specific model?

No, the 060L5218 model features a fixed 7°F differential. For applications requiring an adjustable differential, consider the KPU19 or other adjustable models within the Danfoss lineup.

What is the maximum contact load for the SPDT switch?

The switch is rated for high-current applications, typically handling up to 16A inductive load at 120/240V, making it suitable for direct control of small compressors or fan motors.
