Introduction

Temperature sensors are devices which measure temperature, with the objective being to maintain it in a particular range. The most commonly used, type being Thermostats, which are mechanical, and work either as switches that are actuated by a particular temperature, or are bi-metallic strips which convex or concave in response to a temperature change. This particular article will focus on 300101710001 application field and working principle.

Application Field

Mechanical thermostats such as the 300101710001 are predominantly used in domestic applications, and most commonly used for ovens, refrigerators, air conditioners and other temperature-controlled devices. It is also often used in industrial applications, where machine equipment, cooling systems or process control need to be kept within a specific temperature range. The best use for the 300101710001 is up to 150°C, making it ideal for maintaining temperature in a wide range of applications, including boilers, forced draught burners, central heating systems, medical and industrial ventilation.

Working Principle

The 300101710001 mechanical thermostat is actuated by temperature changes. When the temperature fluctuates, the bi-metallic strip incorporated inside becomes concave or convex, depending on the temperature change. This curved strip is connected to a mechanism that controls the switch, which triggers the device to turn on or off at specific temperatures. The thermostat can be adjusted so that the switch is triggered at any temperature within a predetermined range. Once the temperature drops below or rises above the selected temperature, the thermostat will open or close, thus controlling the temperature of the device.

Conclusion

The 300101710001 is a mechanical thermostat designed to maintain temperature in a range of applications. Its bi-metallic strip is made to bend in response to temperature changes, thereby actuating a switch which turns a particular device on or off. As such, it is widely used to maintain temperature in a range of domestic and industrial applications, such as air conditioners, ovens, forced draught burners and central heating systems.
