If their temperature exceeds a certain threshold, a <span style=\"font-weight:bold\">safety function automatically shuts the compressors down<\/span> to prevent equipment damage.<br \/>\n        Because such shutdowns could <span style=\"font-weight:bold\">affect the entire production line<\/span>, they posed an unacceptable risk to the plant.\n    <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 2rem auto 1.5rem;font-size: 1.125rem;line-height:1.6\">Although no such shutdowns had occurred, the customer felt that the risk could become a reality at any time.
