HI-LIMIT CAPILLARY

Capillary action (sometimes capillarity, capillary motion, capillary effect, or wicking) is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, external forces like gravity. The effect can be seen in the drawing up of liquids in a thin tube. It occurs because of intermolecular forces between the liquid and surrounding solid surfaces. If the diameter of the tube is sufficiently small, then the combination of surface tension (which is caused by cohesion within the liquid) and adhesive forces between the liquid and container wall act to propel the liquid.

A high limit ( "Hi Limit" or simply "Limit") switch is one of the most important safety features in numerous pieces of restaurant equipment. In the event that your equipment begins to operate at temperatures above maximum specifications, the high limit will shut down the unit. The high limit switch regulates equipment operation by closely monitoring the equipment's operating temperature.
