The Sporlan Type ZP thermostatic charges have essentially the
same characteristics as the conventional Z cross charges with one
exception. They produce a pressure limit or MOP. The ZP charges
are not intended as replacements for the Z charges -- they should
only be used where a definite pressure limit is required to prevent
motor overloading.
A conventional Type L liquid charge is also available for all com-
monly used refrigerants in most of our element sizes.
Further identification of the element is provided by the use of two
or three letters and sometimes two or three numbers stamped
on the capillary button of the diaphragm case. The first letter indi-
cates the refrigerant and the second letter (and third if used) the
selective charge of the element. Numbers, if used, indicate a spe-
cial MOP or maximum operating pressure. The Selective Charges
C, CP, JC, Z, ZP, VGA, L and X are generally applied in the range of
temperatures shown in the Table B.
A Type VCP, Refrigerant 22 air conditioning or heat pump charge
with a 100 psig limit is stamped “VCP100”.
