A temperature control device, typically found on a wall inside the home, that consists of a series of sensors and relays that monitor and control the functions of a heating and cooling system American Standard's programmable thermostats allow you to program different levels of comfort for different times of the day
a device that automatically responds to changes in temperature by activating a heating or cooling system to maintain the temperature at a desired setting
A self-acting apparatus for regulating temperature by the unequal expansion of different metals, liquids, or gases by heat, as in opening or closing the damper of a stove, or the like, as the heat becomes greater or less than is desired
A thermostat is a device that switches a system or motor on or off according to the temperature. Thermostats are used, for example, in central heating systems and fridges. an instrument used for keeping a room or a machine at a particular temperature (thermo- + -stat (from -states, from histanei )). Device that detects temperature changes for the purpose of maintaining the temperature of an enclosed area essentially constant. The thermostat generates signals, usually electrical, to activate relays, valves, switches, and so on when the temperature rises above or falls below the desired value. Thermostats are used to control the flow of fuel to a burner, of electric current to a heating or cooling unit, or of a heated or cooled gas or liquid into the area it serves. They are also used in fire-detection warning systems
An automatic heating/cooling control device Clocks used to set back the temperature during certain time periods as a fuel saving measure are a useful feature
A protector, which is temperature-sensing only, that is mounted on the stator winding Two leads from the device must be connected to a control circuit, which initiates corrective action The customer must specify if the thermostats are to be normally closed or normally open
(Otomotiv) A device that keeps the hot coolant confined to the engine cooling passages to help the engine warm up more quickly. After the engine has warmed up, the thermostat allows the coolant to flow to the radiator, where it's cooled and re-circulated through the engine to prevent overheating
A practical device used to open and close an electrical circuit through the bending of a bimetallic strip, due to a difference in the rate of contraction and expansion of the different types of metal on each side of the strip
A device that keeps the hot coolant confined to the engine cooling passages to help the engine warm up more quickly After the engine has warmed up, the thermostat allows the coolant to flow to the radiator, where it's cooled and recirculated through the engine to prevent overheating
A protector, which is temperature-sensing only, that is mounted on the stator winding Two leads from the device must be connected to control circuit, which initiates corrective action The customer must specify if the thermostats are to be normally closed or normally open
A device used to control temperatures; used to control the operation of heating and cooling devices by turning the device on or off when a specified temperature is reached
