AA85A10

The AA85A10 temperature sensor is a precision thermostat used for measuring and controlling temperatures. It is classified as a mechanical type of thermostat due to its ability to directly measure the temperature of the system it is controlling and to react accordingly.

The AA85A10 consists of a sealed metal enclosure, containing a temperature-sensing element and an actuating switch. The temperature sensing element, which is typically a bi-metallic disc or strip, is connected to a lever or arm, which makes contact with the actuating switch. This device operates on the principle that some materials change their physical shapes due to changes in temperature. In this application, the bi-metallic disc or strip contracts when the temperature drops, which causes the lever or arm to pivot and activate the switch. The switch then sends a signal to the system to turn on the heating if the temperature falls below a certain point, or to turn off the heating if the temperature reaches a certain point.

In addition to the temperature sensing element and actuating switch, the AA85A10 also includes a thermally-insulated enclosure. This helps to maintain an accurate temperature measurement by preventing heat from entering or leaving the enclosure. This also helps to protect the sensitive temperature-sensing element from being affected by external temperatures.

The AA85A10 is commonly used to control temperatures accurately and reliably in a range of consumer and industrial applications, such as residential air conditioners, refrigerators, motor control centers, ovens, and boilers. Its temperature setting can be adjusted to provide optimum performance and energy efficiency. Additionally, it is self-monitoring and will alert operators if the temperature is not within an acceptable range.

The AA85A10 is a reliable, accurate, and cost-effective temperature sensing device that is suitable for a broad range of temperature-control applications. It is a reliable and efficient choice for anyone looking for a dependable thermostat that is easy to install and maintain.
