Introduction to Temperature Sensors

Temperature sensors are devices that measure temperature or thermal energy. The most common types of temperature sensors are thermocouples, resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), thermistors, and thermopiles. These sensors can be used to measure temperature ranges from -200 to +1200° Celsius (-330 to +2192° Fahrenheit).

Thermostats

Thermostats are temperature controllers used to regulate the temperature of an environment. These devices can be set to maintain a specific temperature within a system. Thermostats typically use thermistors or RTDs as the sensors to measure the temperature of the environment.

66F055-0463: Application Field and Working Principle

The 66F055-0463 is a mechanical temperature sensor specifically designed for thermostatic applications. This device utilizes a hermetically sealed bimetallic strip, which acts as a thermostat switch, to measure and regulate temperatures.The 66F055-0463 can be used in many applications, such as space heaters, air conditioners, refrigerators, and water heaters. It can also be used in medical and laboratory equipment to control temperature in incubators and centrifuges.The 66F055-0463 is composed of two separate strips of metal, one with a high expanded coefficient of thermal expansion (ETI) and one with a low ETI. The two metal strips are held together by springs that bind them together. The strip with the high ETI expands faster than the strip with the low ETI when exposed to increasing temperature. As the temperature rises, the high ETI strip will expand faster than the low ETI strip and consequently become compressed. This compression closes the internal circuit, which actuates the switch.When the temperature drops below the regulated temperature, the two metal strips will again expand at different rates. This will open the internal circuit and deactuate the switch. This bimetallic switch is the main mechanism that causes the 66F055-0463 to open the circuit when the set temperature is exceeded and to close the circuit when the temperature falls below the set temperature.The 66F055-0463 is an economical and versatile temperature sensor. It is able to detect even small changes in temperature and can be used to regulate temperatures in many applications. It is reliable and accurate, making it ideal for thermostatic and temperature control applications.
