Summer is here again, and with temperatures rising these past few days, we've entered peak season for air conditioning use. Speaking of air conditioning, we can't ignore the thermostat, which is incredibly powerful, not only helping us control the temperature but also saving energy. However, many people don't understand how thermostats work. Below, we'll explain its working principle and applications to give you a deeper understanding.
01. What is a thermostat?
A temperature controller, also known as a temperature switch or temperature protector, comes in two types: mechanical and electronic. It works by undergoing internal physical deformation based on changes in ambient temperature, resulting in a specific effect that causes the device to either switch on or off. A temperature sensor / transmitter transmits the temperature data to the temperature controller, which then issues a switching command to control the equipment's operation and achieve the desired temperature and energy savings.
02. What is the working principle of a thermostat?
The working principle of a thermostat is to automatically sample and monitor the ambient temperature in real time through a temperature sensor. When the ambient temperature is higher than the control set value, the control circuit is activated, and the control hysteresis can be set.
03. What are the application areas of thermostats?
Thermostats have a wide range of applications, depending on their type, including in numerous equipment in the rubber and plastics, food, packaging, industrial furnaces, refrigeration, and heating industries, covering all aspects of temperature-related aspects in daily life and industrial production. Thermostats are widely used, powerful, compact and aesthetically pleasing, and easy to install, making them an economical and practical low-cost control product.
Next, let's take a look.
What are the applications of Autonics' standard temperature controllers?

After this introduction, you should now have a more comprehensive understanding of the working principle and application areas of thermostats. Although small in size, thermostats are powerful in function. With a thermostat, we can automatically adjust the temperature, achieving automated temperature control, which is very convenient and an indispensable component in daily life and industrial production.
