The explosion-proof capillary thermostat PYEX-EP-MTS12 is built sense and control
surface temperature of various objects in potentially explosive areas. The use in
environments with gas and steam is permitted (zone 1 and 2 ) ; use in the area with
conductive dust (zone 21 and 22) is also permitted.
The capillary thermostat is enclosed within Ex d (flameproof) aluminium enclosure
and then the whole aluminium enclosure assembly is fitted inside 120 x 120 x 90mm
engineering plastic enclosure for easy installation and maintenance on site.
The electrical switching element of capillary thermostat works based on the expansion
/ shrinkage of liquid and gas, being enclosed within the sensing bulb and capillary tube.
PYEX-EP-MTS12 is only single thermostat. Two more numerics shown after -MTS12 are
for selection guide. For example ‘21’. The first numeric ‘2’ describes the number of power
cable entries. And the second numeric ‘1’ means conductor size of power cable.
