Thermostats FAQ

A bimetal thermostat is a temperature control device that uses a bimetallic strip to detect temperature changes.
The bimetallic strip is composed of two or more different metals with distinct coefficients of thermal expansion bonded together.
When the temperature varies, the differential expansion causes the strip to bend, activating a switch mechanism to open or close an electrical circuit.

Bimetal thermostats are widely used in various applications requiring precise temperature control,
including:

Household appliances: Such as refrigerators, ovens, irons, and water heaters.
HVAC systems: Including air conditioners, heaters, and thermostats.
Industrial equipment: Such as machinery, motors, and control panels.
Automotive industry: Including engine cooling systems and cabin temperature regulation.
