  • Patent number: 5965814
    Abstract: An electrical circuit control system with multiple sensing probes used to detect the presence of excessive accumulations of moisture, in its liquid or frozen form in single or multiple phase air refrigerant systems. The electrical circuit control system will disengage the related electrical system when electrically alerted by the detecting sensors that an abnormal level of liquid or ice has occurred. The detecting sensors operate independently, therefore the control system will function properly with one sensor being utilized or with more than one sensor in place. Further, it utilizes multiple sensors, for detection, that are remote from the circuit control system and connected by electrically conductive leads at one end to the circuit control system and at the respective other end to the detection sensors. After the excessive accumulation of liquid or ice has been removed, the air refrigerant system will remain in an off position until reset by removing and reconnecting the main power source.
