Creating Time Delay

Airpot offers reliable timing control for non-electrical systems and for electrical systems requiring non-electrical backup.

Application Examples

In a commercial sprinkler system a pull damping Airpot times a switch (as shown below) which actuates a solenoid valve in response to ambient conditions. The time delay prevents short term, non-threatening signals from actuating the sprinklers, while allowing actuation if the signal persists beyond the desired time.

In refrigerator ice dispensers an Airpot slows closure of the spring loaded ice chute doors.

In beverage vending machines it controls descent of filling compartment access doors.
