Model MP-104
Refrigeration Control System

□ Compressor control
□ Agitation control
□ Fail-safe alarm

 

MP-104 is a controller for use with refrigerator systems. It was developed especially for the temperature control of milk.

MP-104 provides an output signal to a refrigerator compressor to maintain constant temperature within a 2-4 degree F window over the range 35 to 48° F. A second output signal operates an agitator for short periods of time, typically 3 minutes each 18 minutes or 10 minutes each 30 minutes.

In addition to automatic temperature and agitation control, a pre-set agitation cycle can be selected of 30-60 minutes duration, with or without cooling. Also a single agitation cycle, without cooling of 3, 5, 10 or 60 minutes is available.

Proper functioning of the controller is continuously monitored and displayed. An alarm sounds in the event of malfunction. A display window indicates the process temperature.

Similar specialized control systems can be designed and manufactured to customer specifications.
