Temperature Sensors - Thermostats - Mechanical

Temperature sensors play a crucial role in temperature measurement and control. In most cases, they are used to detect a specific temperature level, to control the temperature of a given environment, or to measure an accurate temperature value in a system. A common type of temperature sensor is the thermostat. This article will discuss the application fields and working principles for model number 67F095-0082, a mechanical thermostat.

Applications

The 67F095-0082 is a mechanical thermostat for controlling systems involving liquids, gases, and air. It has a wide range of applications, with an operating temperature as low as minus 40 degrees Celsius and as high as 120 degrees Celsius. The thermostat is mainly used in air-conditioning systems, especially in industrial and commercial ones. It may also be used in household gas and water heaters, as well as in customer-specific refrigeration and air-conditioning systems.

Working Principle

The thermostat consists of a bimetallic sensing element, a control switch, and a housing that contains the components. The bimetallic element is composed of two different metals; when temperatures vary, the two metals expand at different rates. This causes the bimetallic element to bend, ensuring that the control switch is triggered or released (closed or opened) depending on the temperature. To set the desired temperature, a calibrated scale is used to adjust the thermostat.

The thermostat is designed to be fixed in the environment that needs to be controlled, and connected to an electrical power source. The bimetallic element is set to a specific temperature by adjusting the housing. When the ambient temperature rises beyond the set point, the bimetallic element will bend and the control switch will be activated. This triggers a signal to be sent by the thermostat to the air-conditioning system or other controlling equipment. Conversely, when the ambient temperature drops below the set point, the bimetallic element will return to its position and the control switch will be released, stopping the signal transmission.

The 67F095-0082 thermostat provides a robust solution for any application requiring temperature sensing or control. It is cost-effective and has a wide operating temperature range, making it a suitable choice for most applications.
