In a high pressure switch, which of the following adjustments primarily impacts the system’s high pressure limits?

The cut-in and cut-out settings of a high-pressure switch are critical adjustments that directly affect the system’s operational high-pressure limits.

The cut-in setting determines the pressure level at which the system will start to engage or operate, while the cut-out setting indicates the maximum pressure level at which the system will shut down to prevent unsafe operational conditions. Adjusting both of these settings allows for precise control over when the refrigeration system activates and deactivates, ensuring it remains within safe pressure ranges.

For example, if the cut-out setting is raised, the system will allow for higher pressures before it turns off, which could risk damaging components if not monitored closely. Conversely, if the cut-in setting is set too low, the system may cycle on and off too frequently, leading to inefficiencies. The combination of these two settings plays a vital role in managing the overall pressure limits of the refrigeration system effectively.
