Pressostats and thermostats

What are pressostats and thermostats?

Pressostats, also known as pressure switches, and thermostats, also known as temperature switches, are process safety switches that shut the device down when a limit is exceeded. The pressure switch receives its signal from pressure while the thermostat from temperature.

Typical applications for a pressure switch include acting as a pressure limiter for a steam boiler. If the pressure rises too high, the pressure switch shuts off the pressure supply. Similarly, it operates as an on-off control for a pump.

Typical applications for a thermostat include, for example, acting as temperature limiters for pipelines or as forced controls for systems, whereby the thermostat sends a signal when the cooling water supply exceeds the set temperature.

Selection of pressostats and thermostats

We assist in selecting devices that meet the requirements of the application. Through us, Danfoss RT pressostats and thermostats are available.
