   They are found in virtually every refrigerator, microwave, clothes dryer, space heater, and many more appliances found throughout the home. Another type of thermal switch is a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistor ; these thermistors have a "cutting off" temperature at which the resistance suddenly rises rapidly, limiting the ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat

   A thermostat exerts control by switching heating or cooling devices on or off, or by regulating the flow of a heat transfer fluid as needed, to maintain the correct temperature. A thermostat can often be the main control unit for a heating or cooling system, in applications ranging from ambient air control to automotive coolant control.

7. Heat pump and refrigeration cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump_and...

   Thermodynamic heat pump cycles or refrigeration cycles are the conceptual and mathematical models for heat pump, air conditioning and refrigeration systems. [1] A heat pump is a mechanical system that transmits heat from one location (the "source") at a certain temperature to another location (the "sink" or "heat sink") at a higher temperature. [2]
