Thermostat
- A thermostat is a regulating device component that senses the temperature of a physical system and performs actions so that the system's temperature is maintained near a desired setpoint.
- The thermostat in an electric kettle senses the temperature of the water and then cuts off the power supply to the heating element once the desired temperature is reached.
- Thermostats use different types of sensors to measure temperatures and actuate control operations.
- Mechanical thermostats commonly use bimetallic strips, converting a temperature change into mechanical displacement, to actuate control of the heating or cooling sources.
- Electronic thermostats use a thermistor or other semiconductor sensor, processing temperature changes as electronic signals, to control the heating or cooling equipment.
