It is part of the safety chain. The PZH is installed on the refrigerant collector for the chiller types cBoxX 40 – cBoxX 180 (see Figure 10: Position of the high pressure limiter (PZH)).
4.4.2. High-pressure monitoring If the high pressure in the refrigeration circuit of your machine increases to a maximum value, the compressors are switched off via the high-pressure limiter (see Chapter 4.4.1 High-pressure limiter). A manual reset is required. The high-pressure monitoring on the other hand reduces the compressor output before the PZH's switch-off value is reached.
4.5. Personal protective equipment for servicing work Servicing work on the machine includes all work for which the machine is opened and one or more cover panels are dismantled. In particular, this includes cleaning work in accordance with Chapter 8.7.1 Thermostatic pump start To save energy, the consumer pump is not operated permanently, but cyclically.
