Temperature Sensors - Thermostats - Mechanical

Mechanical thermostats are based on a mechanical system that measures temperature and then actuates a device or system when the temperature reaches the preset threshold. The 3455RM 84370022 is a mechanical thermostat suitable for a wide range of applications. This article outlines its application field and working principle.

Application Field of 3455RM 84370022 Mechanical Thermostat

The 3455RM 84370022 mechanical thermostat can be used for controlling temperature in a variety of applications. It is widely used in HVAC, refrigeration, and other industrial applications such as catering equipment, brewery, and water heaters. It can also be used in solar thermal applications, where the device monitors and controls the temperature of the heating system.

Working Principle of 3455RM 84370022 Mechanical Thermostat

The 3455RM 84370022 mechanical thermostat is activated by the temperature difference between its probe and its setting. It works by the means of thermal expansion which is linked to the temperature of the environment. The probe senses the temperature of the environment and the bimetal that it is attached to, expands or contracts due to the temperature difference.

The bimetal is attached to a piston or lever, which in turn actuates a switch. This switch controls a relay, which in turn triggers a device or system a when a preset temperature threshold is reached. The threshold temperature can be adjusted by the user via a dial or a knob. This makes the 3455RM 84370022 a user friendly and adjustable device.

Conclusion

The 3455RM 84370022 mechanical thermostat is a highly versatile device that can be used for a wide range of applications. It works through thermal expansion linked to temperature and actuates a device or system when a preset temperature threshold is reached. It is easily adjustable and user-friendly, making it an ideal choice for many temperature control applications.
