The Sporlan type ZP thermostatic charges have essentially the same characteristics as the conventional
Z cross charges with one exception: they produce a pressure limit or MOP. The ZP charges are not
intended as replacements for the Z charges - they should only be used where a definite pressure limit is
required to prevent overloading the motor.
