Lämpötilasäätimen
Lämpötilasäädin, known in English as a thermostat, is a device that automatically regulates temperature. It functions by sensing the current temperature and then opening or closing an electrical circuit to maintain a desired setpoint. For example, in a heating system, when the temperature drops below the setpoint, the thermostat closes a circuit, activating the heating element. Once the temperature reaches the setpoint, it opens the circuit, turning the heating off.
The core components of a basic thermostat typically include a temperature-sensing element and a switching mechanism.
Lämpötilasäätimet are widely used in various applications. The most common application is in residential and commercial
