About products and suppliers

One of the most popular proverbs says that "power is nothing without control." This is true when it comes to cooling or heating. Too much of either could mean that certain products spoil sooner than they ought to, or equipment could get damaged. It could even have fatal consequences for the occupants of a car or building. In a world of powerful cooling and heating devices, thermostats serve as a way to control and bring about optimal outcomes desired by their users.

What is a thermostat?

A thermostat is a device that controls the temperature of a system, such as a heating or air conditioning system. It also plays a significant part in heat rejection systems for engines installed in cars, boats, and airplanes. Thermostats typically include a sensor to measure the temperature and a control mechanism to adjust the system's output. The sensor and control mechanism can be mechanical or electronic. In addition, thermostats can either be simple, non-programmable devices or, as in the case of smart thermostats and programmable thermostats, be able to be programmed to dynamically meet and respond to a set of specifications set by a user.

What are some examples of thermostat applications?

Thermostats are used in a variety of applications including, but not limited to, HVAC systems, industrial and commercial process control, such as in warehouses and cold storage facilities, and refrigeration systems for restaurants and other commercial settings. In addition, they are also used for medical and laboratory equipment and for maintaining the proper temperature range of an engine in cars, planes, and other modes of transport. A common application for thermostats is home thermostats, AC thermostats, and space heaters with thermostats. These sensors turn heating or cooling equipment on or off, depending on if a preset temperature has been reached. State-of-the-art Wi-Fi thermostats can connect to users' smartphones and other devices. These wireless thermostats provide a level of convenience that was previously unimaginable. Another common use for thermostats is in automotive applications such as car thermostats and RV thermostats to keep engine coolant in an ideal temperature range and to keep passengers comfortable.
