1.1. PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS1003
- Identify the physical principles and describe the operation of the thermo-
stat in your home or o¢ ce.
Solution:
A thermostat is a device for maintaining a temperature constant at a desired value. It is equipped with a temperature sensor which detects deviation from the desired value, determines whether the temperature setting is exceeded or not, and transmits the information to a furnace or air conditioner so that the temperature in the room is brought back to the
desired setting. Examples: Tubes …lled with liquid mercury are attached
to a bimetallic strip which tilt the tube and cause the mercury to slide over electrical contacts. A bimetallic strip consists of two strips of metal bonded together, each of a di¤erent expansion coe¢ cient so that temper- ature changes bend the metal. In some cases, the bending of bimetallic strips simply cause electrical contacts to open or close directly. In most cases today, temperature is sensed electronically using,for example, a ther- mistor, a resistor whose resistance changes with temperature. Modern computer-based thermostats are programmable, sense the current from the thermistor and convert that to a digital signal.© 2015 Pearson Education, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ.
