Refrigerant Float Switch

Innovative features make these float switches the superior selection. To overcome the most common reason for existing float switch failure, switch burnout, a heavy duty 10 amp snap action Honeywell SPDT Micro Switch ® is used. This switch is sealed in a clear housing to allow visual confirmation of switch action but protection from tampering. In addition, the switch is surrounded by an inert gas which provides an environment which inhibits corrosion. For ease of installation, switch assembly position rotates 360°. If
the switch assembly should ever need to be replaced, simply loosen the retaining screw and lift the lfoat switch assembly off the top of the tank assembly. Optional switch housing heater prevents moisture penetration in humid environments.

Tank assembly is rugged, steel bodied with unique combination ¾” FPT / 1″ Butt Weld connections. Inside, a high pressure tested float ball moves up and down via a large diameter stem, overcoming potential bending or breakage. Its movement is accurately guided by the attractor and an alignment guide. Therefore, the float ball assembly is not subject to the common, adverse effects of normal oil and sludge build-up on the tank interior walls. A deflector plate across the inlet of the tank assembly protects the float ball against sudden surges and provides smoother operation. In addition, lower and upper cushioning springs provide improved protection for the float ball. A standard 2″ (50 mm) differential prevents most short cycling due to momentary changes in liquid level; other differentials down to 0.5″ (13 mm) are available. Because the tank assembly is welded, it eliminates gasket leak potential as well as tampering.
