INFERNUS Gas Fryer High Limit Auto Reset Safety Temperature Thermostat

Overview

The INFERNUS Gas Fryer High Limit Auto Reset Safety Temperature Thermostat is an essential safety component designed to prevent commercial gas fryers from overheating. It serves as a critical fail-safe, automatically shutting off the gas supply if the fryer's temperature exceeds a pre-set high limit. Its auto-reset function ensures that the fryer can return to normal operation without manual intervention once the temperature drops to a safe level, providing both enhanced safety and operational convenience.

Key Features

• High-Limit Protection: This thermostat provides a final layer of safety by preventing the fryer's oil or fat from reaching dangerous, unsafe temperatures that could lead to fire or equipment damage.

• Automatic Reset: The auto-reset feature automatically re-engages the gas supply once the temperature falls below the safety limit. This eliminates the need for manual resetting, reducing downtime and simplifying kitchen operations.

• Robust Construction: Built to withstand the harsh conditions of a commercial kitchen, including high temperatures and grease exposure.

• Universal Compatibility: Designed as a replacement part for a wide range of gas chips fryers, ensuring broad applicability.

• Sealed Capillary: The sensor probe and capillary are hermetically sealed to prevent contamination from oil and moisture, ensuring long-term reliability and accurate temperature sensing.

Operation & Safety

The thermostat operates independently of the main temperature control. Its sensor probe is placed directly in the fryer's oil. As the temperature rises, the fluid inside the probe and capillary expands, creating pressure that triggers a safety switch. If the temperature surpasses the high-limit set point, the switch will open, cutting off the gas supply to the fryer.

Once the temperature cools down by a few degrees, the fluid contracts, and the switch automatically closes, resetting the safety circuit and allowing the fryer to operate again. This automated process ensures continuous protection and efficiency without requiring a manual reset button.
