41-3847 High Pressure Sensor for Thermo King | High Pressure Cut-Out Switch (HPCO)
The 41-3847 High Pressure Sensor is an aftermarket high-pressure cut-out switch for selected Thermo King transport refrigeration units. It monitors discharge pressure and helps protect the refrigeration system from excessive pressure.
Product Description
The 41-3847 High Pressure Sensor works as a High Pressure Switch or High Pressure Cut-Out Switch (HPCO) in selected Thermo King refrigeration systems. It monitors high-side refrigerant pressure and switches the circuit when pressure reaches the specified limit.
Thermo King parts references identify 41-3847 / 1088A99G53 as the current reference, while 41-2998 / 1088A99G44 appears as an older reference.
Available technical data lists a 1/8″ NPT male thread, 32.43 bar opening pressure, 25.87 bar closing pressure, and a 380 mm cable. These specifications should match the original switch before replacement.
The 41-3847 is mainly used on selected Thermo King T-Series and TS-Series transport refrigeration units. Parts catalogs also list selected KD, MD and RD applications.
