Principle of operation
The pressurised system which operates according to the principle of expansion of liquid is the heart of a hydraulic thermostat.
It comprises phial, capillary tube and diaphragm.
Following an increase in temperature at the phial, the liquid expands in the capillary tube, causing the diaphragm to move. This movement activates a snap-action switch, causing opening or closing of switch contacts.
It is clear that a high degree of precision is required in manufacture, as a change in temperature of
It is therefore absolutely essential that the phial and capillary tube should not be squashed or otherwise damaged!
The thermostats are calibrated at room temperature
