Mounted directly on the compressor discharge line or housing, this thermostat continuously monitors the temperature of high-pressure refrigerant gas leaving the compressor. If discharge gas temperatures climb into the danger zone, the thermostat triggers a safety shutdown — protecting the compressor from catastrophic valve damage, oil breakdown, and seized bearings. Failure symptoms include nuisance high-discharge-temperature lockouts, erratic safety trips, or compressor shutdowns that cannot be traced to refrigerant charge or load issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Part Numbers:\u003c\/strong\u003e HN68GA242 (primary) | HN68GA295 (superseding\/alternate) — both are Factory Authorized Parts for Carrier \/ Carlyle commercial reciprocating compressors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunction \u0026amp; Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monitors discharge gas temperature; opens the safety circuit on over-temperature condition to prevent compressor burnout, refrigerant oil carbonization, and thermal valve damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstall Difficulty: 3\/5\u003c\/strong\u003e — Requires recovering refrigerant charge before accessing the discharge line fitting.
