MAGNETROL J52-4111-002

J52 Refrigerant
Level Switches
D E S C R I P T I O N
The Magnetrol Model J52 refrigerant level switches are
float actuated units designed for use on liquids with 0.60
specific gravity and above. They utilize the Magnetrol
magnetic principle to assure dependable performance.
F E A T U R E S
• Temperatures from -50° to +100° F (-46° to +38° C)
• Maximum working pressure to 400 psig (28 bar)
• Housing is completely sealed against entrance of
moisture, preventing internal frost formation
• Conduit seal with 24-inch (610 mm) lead wires
prevents entrance of moisture laden air into the
switch housing
• Float chamber is a welded assembly fabricated from
two low carbon steel sections and finished with an
epoxy coating

A permanent magnet is attached to a pivoted
switch actuator and adjustment screw . As the
float rises following the liquid level, it raises the
attraction sleeve into the field of the magnet,
which then snaps against the non-magnetic
enclosing tube , actuating the switch . The
enclosing tube provides a static pressure boundary
between the switch mechanism and the process.
On falling level, a spring retracts the magnet,
deactivating the switch.
