Fenwal 01-017023-000 Thermoswitch Temperature Control R
The Fenwal Automatic Thermoswitch Temperature Control 01-017023-000 is an automatic temperature control device used in a variety of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems. It operates similarly to a switch, using temperature variations to activate or deactivate electrical circuits. A bimetallic strip, a component made of two bonded metals with distinct rates of expansion, is present in the thermoswitch. The uneven expansion causes the strip to bend as the temperature rises. An internal switch mechanism is triggered by this bending, and it opens or closes an electrical circuit. The thermoswitch controls the HVAC system's heating and cooling components by adjusting the point at which the bimetallic strip bends.
