  2. Freeze stat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeze_stat

    Air coil freeze stat. A freeze stat is a temperature sensing device for HVAC that monitors a heat exchanger to prevent its coils from freezing.Freeze stats can be used on both refrigerant-to-air, and refrigerant-to-liquid type heat exchangers and serve different purposes with similar goals for each.

  3. Thermostat - Wikipedia

    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.

  4. Thermostatic mixing valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostatic_mixing_valve

    The storage of water at high temperature removes one possible breeding ground for Legionella; the use of a thermostat, rather than a static mixing valve, provides increased safety against scalding, and increased user comfort, because the hot-water temperature remains constant. [1] Many TMVs use a wax thermostat for regulation. They also shut ...

  5. Water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heating

    Tank thermostats are not a reliable guide to the internal temperature of the tank. Gas-fired water tanks may have no temperature calibration shown. An electric thermostat shows the temperature at the elevation of the thermostat, but water lower in the tank can be considerably cooler. An outlet thermometer is a better indication of water ...

  6. Mercury-in-glass thermometer - Wikipedia

    In the same manner mark the point where the fluid stabilises when the thermometer is placed in boiling water vapour. Divide the length between the two marks into 100 equal parts. These points are adequate for approximate calibration, but both the freezing and boiling points of water vary with atmospheric pressure.

    What to do when water pipes freeze. Here are tips from The Red Cross. If you turn on a faucet and only a trickle comes out, suspect a frozen pipe. Likely places for frozen pipes include against ...

  8. Programmable thermostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_thermostat

    Honeywell electronic thermostat in a store. Heating and cooling losses from a building (or any other container) become greater as the difference in temperature increases. A programmable thermostat allows reduction of these losses by allowing the temperature difference to be reduced at times when the reduced amount of heating or cooling would not be objectionable.

  9. Refrigerated container - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigerated_container

    The container is cooled for as long as there is frozen gas available in the system. These have been used in railcars for many years, providing up to 17 days temperature regulation. [ 4 ] Whilst refrigerated containers are not common for air transport, total loss dry ice systems are usually used. [ 3 ]
