BJW51 Type Mechanical Explosion-Proof Temperature Controller

The BJW51 type mechanical explosion-proof temperature controller is specifically designed for explosive hazardous environments. It employs a reliable mechanical temperature sensing principle, requires no external power supply, and can automatically control the medium temperature in pipelines or tanks. It is an ideal automatic control component for process heat tracing or freeze protection in industries such as petroleum and chemical.

This product is an explosion-proof temperature controller compliant with the GB3836-2000 national standard, with an explosion-proof marking of "ExnAnCIICT6Gc". It is mainly composed of components such as the core housing, terminal box, base, temperature control element, temperature sensing capillary tube, and temperature adjustment knob. Its core working principle is to sense the controlled medium temperature via a temperature bulb, utilizing the thermal expansion and contraction of an internal liquid working medium to drive the opening and closing of mechanical contacts (T1, T2), thereby achieving automatic power supply cut-off and restoration for precise temperature control. The product structure incorporates both flameproof enclosure and resin encapsulation (potting) protection, ensuring safety for use in hazardous locations.

Main Industries: Petroleum, chemical, natural gas, pharmaceutical, and other industries with explosion risks.

Hazardous Area: Applicable in Zone 2​ explosive gas mixture environments, with a temperature class of T3 to T6.

Specific Use: Used for automatic control of the medium process temperature in pipelines or tanks. Typically applied for the start/stop control of electric heat tracing systems, achieving heat tracing, temperature maintenance, or freeze protection.

Intrinsic Safety Explosion-Proof: Features the "ExnAnCIICT6Gc" explosion-proof marking. It adopts a composite structure of flameproof enclosure and resin potting, ensuring safe use in specified explosive gas environments.

Mechanical Drive, Reliable and Maintenance-Free: Pure mechanical working principle, requires no external power supply. Simple structure, reliable operation, strong anti-interference capability, essentially maintenance-free.

Automatic and Precise Temperature Control: Directly senses medium temperature via the capillary temperature bulb. High control accuracy (±2.5°C), small switching differential (≤4°C), effectively maintains stable process temperature.

Flexible Installation, Wide Applicability: The temperature bulb can be installed via capillary tube extension, allowing the main body to be placed in a safer or more convenient location. Available in land-use and marine-use types, adapting to various environments.

FAQ

This product is a mechanical​ temperature controller. Its working principle is based on physical thermal expansion and contraction. The liquid medium inside the temperature bulb expands when heated, generating pressure that drives the internal mechanical mechanism, thereby directly controlling the opening and closing of the contacts (T1, T2). It itself does not require an external operating power supply. Its contacts are used to control the power supply of the heat tracing circuit (e.g., heating cable), achieving automatic switching.
