Temperature Sensors - Thermostats - Mechanical

2455RM-90040880 is a mechanical temperature sensor. It functions to sense temperature change and act accordingly. It consists of a bimetal thermal element, guide pins, and a sensing probe element with an adjustable pointer. In response to temperature change, the bimetal element expands and the guide pin causes the pointer to move up or down. This temperature sensor is effective in applications such as controlling the temperature of a room or controlling the temperature of a hot water system.

Working Principle

The working principle of a 2455RM-90040880 mechanical temperature sensor is simple and straightforward. The probe is positioned at a certain point along the temperature range. When the temperature increases, it will cause the bimetal element to expand and the guide pins will cause the pointer to move up. On the contrary, when the temperature decreases, the bimetal element contracts, and the guide pins cause the pointer to move down.

Applications

2455RM-90040880 mechanical temperature sensor is widely used in many different applications. Examples of these applications include controlling the temperature of a room in order to keep it comfortable, preventing rooms from becoming too hot or too cold for comfort, and controlling the temperature of a hot water system.

For example, the 2455RM-90040880 can be used in a room temperature control system. The probe temperature will then be transmitted to a controller, which can then regulate the air conditioning system accordingly. In hot water system temperature control, the sensor can be used to control the temperature of the hot water. When the temperature reaches a certain level, the sensor will detect it and inform the controller to switch off the hot water system in order to prevent it from overheating.

Advantages

Temperature sensors such as the 2455RM-90040880 mechanical temperature sensor offer many advantages over simpler thermometers. They are more accurate and reliable than thermometers, and is much quicker in responding to temperature changes. This makes them particularly suitable for temperature control applications, where seconds can make a huge difference. Additionally, they can detect even small temperature changes, allowing for very precise control.

Conclusion

2455RM-90040880 mechanical temperature sensors are versatile and reliable tools for controlling the temperature of a room or hot water system. Their accuracy and quick response makes them a popular choice for temperature control, providing users with superior temperature control compared to simpler thermometers.
