851-MS

Multiple Sensor Selector

The 851-MS Multiple Sensor Selector is an electronic signal selector designed to provide low ambient control of multiple refrigerant circuits for air-cooled condensers. Automatically selects highest liquid line temperature for use in modulating condenser fan speed and/or sequencing multiple fans when used with the 861-ASQ Sequencer.
Applications
Typically utilized with the 861-ASQ Sequencer or the 816-10D (HPVD) to monitor multiple liquid lines in order to control head pressure in low ambient temperature conditions.

Why Measure Head Pressure using Temperature instead of Pressure?

Many people assume that the best way to control the head pressure from a compressor is to directly sense the line pressure using a sensor inserted into the liquid line.
