Custom Mechanical Thermostat Switch Controller
KST thermostat switch is used in home appliance for temperature control from low temperature to high.
Design of KST adjustable thermostat is based on bi-metal action in the principle of expansion and contraction. KST turns on and off within prescribed temperature range.
The advantages of adjustable KST bimetal thermostats by Jaye Heater:
- Simple Design: The mechanical nature of the bimetal strip offers reliability without requiring electronic components.
- Cost-Effective: KST thermostats are generally less expensive than electronic thermostats.
- Durability: Robust construction ensures long-lasting performance under various conditions.
- Energy Efficiency: Precise temperature control reduces energy consumption by preventing overheating or excessive cooling.
Working Principle of KST Bimetal Thermostats
-
Bimetallic Strip:
- Composed of two metals with different thermal expansion rates.
- Bends with temperature changes due to unequal expansion.
-
Thermal Expansion:
- Heating: Strip bends as temperature rises.
- Cooling: Strip straightens as temperature drops.
-
Switching Mechanism:
- Bending action opens or closes an electrical contact.
- Controls connected devices like heaters or coolers.
-
Adjustability:
- Users can set the desired temperature.
- Alters activation point for the bimetal strip.
Main Applications of KST :
- Household Appliances: Used in irons, ovens, toasters, and space heaters.
- Industrial Equipment: Controls temperature in machinery and HVAC systems.
- Automotive: Regulates engine and cabin temperatures.
- Consumer Electronics: Protects devices from overheating
