Temperature controllers with air temperature sensor

Thermostat with a temperature sensor used to control operation of heating devices

What thermostats with air temperature sensor

Thermostat (also known thermostat) - a device that is responsible for maintaining a given heating device temperature. Thermostat coolant is considered the main control part. First, in the manual mode is set the desired temperature, which then supports the device automatically.

Thermostats air temperature sensor are part of a heating or cooling system. It is inserted in the climate control system, for example gas-fired boilers and air conditioning.

Air conditioner equipped with a thermostat to control the temperature in the room

One of the simplest and most familiar examples - thermostats for radiators or, as they are often called, - a thermal head for heating radiators. Such a regulator thermostat is set on the pipe the heater and serves to maintain the desired temperature.

Useful advice!Setting the thermostat on the heating radiator is not complicated, while offering not only comfort, but also significant savings.

Types of sensors for measuring the temperature

In order to find a suitable for your thermostat, you must understand what they differ from each other.

Temperature controllers differ in material from which they are made, the installation method as well as the principle of operation and functional characteristics.

mechanical thermostat

Depending on the operating principle of the thermostats are divided into two types:

• mechanical;
• e.

The operating principle of the mechanical model is based on the expansion of the bimetallic plates and the data transfer to the control unit. Electronic same model function with built-in thermometer.

Electronic thermostat for heating radiator

Depending on the method of temperature control devices are divided into these types:

• to collect information on gender sensor;
• fee for air sensor information;
• Combined - gathering information from various sensors.

Devices that do collect information on temperature sensors - the most common. It is these thermostats mounted on radiators and is used for boilers and convectors.

Boiler with built-in thermostat

Devices that do collect information on gender sensors have a fairly limited range of options and are normally used in rooms with underfloor heating.

Also separate type thermostats can be isolated from the external air temperature sensor. In this case, the information supplied to the control unit - is more reliable because of the air temperature data were obtained at a considerable distance from the heater. Thermostat with remote sensor is mounted on a wall and connected to common wiring.

Wiring thermostat with a sensor in the heating system "warm floors"

According to a similar principle as with thermostats arranged outside temperature sensor for the incubator. The thermostat is connected to the network cable to the sensor is lowered into the incubator. On the outside of the thermostat outlet is located where you want to insert the cord of the incubator power. With the information on the display, you can control and, if necessary, change the temperature inside.

Useful advice! If your knowledge in this area is not enough, and you are unable to choose a suitable thermostat for infrared heater - seek help from professionals. This will help you avoid unnecessary hassle and expenses.

Electronic air temperature measuring sensors

These days have become increasingly popular electronic sensors. Such modern thermostats no moving parts for measuring the outside temperature drops. For this purpose, they used semiconductor components.

As for the power of these devices performs current, so they are installed, as a rule, in the socket or DIN-rail. Also in batteries may be used as a power supply. Required for operation of the electronic sensor voltage of - 24 volts.

Modern thermostat with a built-in sensor is controlled by a mobile phone

Nearly every electronic thermostats models have a monitor that displays the last set temperature settings and the current time and date. Current models are equipped with thermostats function setting operation of the device in the mode of day / night, weekdays / weekends, and so on. Certainly, the presence of these features significantly affect the price of the thermostat for heating radiator, so before buying should think twice, as needed for you all these features.

In displaying the monitor data thermostat air sensors collected from different Improvement

Despite the higher cost of electronic thermostats with temperature sensor, they have several advantages over mechanical:

• they are much easier to install on their own;
• have a much greater range of temperatures, so their use is permitted not only as a room thermostat for a gas boiler, but also in the basement or garage where the temperature can drop to 0 degrees.

Multi-zone heating system with radiators and underfloor heating controlled by thermostat

Buy thermostat with temperature sensor can be branded branch offices for the production of HVAC equipment. It is better to give preference to the same manufacturer, which is listed on your boiler. In this case, you can connect the thermostat to the entire heating system without any problems.

If you know something in the electrical device, you can save significantly by collecting thermostat with temperature sensor with your hands. To do this you will need to purchase all the necessary component parts, including a microcontroller and a digital display.

Better to buy a boiler thermostat and a single source

Also in the thermostat element must be measuring temperature and transmitting data processing unit, which, in turn, amplifies or converts the obtained pulse and commands the actuator element - relay. To assemble the thermostat, a special scheme. Thermostat with their own hands to do is not difficult, but it is important to realize that the assembly - is only half the story, then you need to configure the device and connect it to the boiler. And this task is only for those who are well versed in electronics. If you have not engaged in anything similar, it is better to buy ready-made thermostat in order to avoid incorrect operation of the device and the associated hazards.

Wiring diagram infrared heaters to the thermostat

Useful advice!All thermostats for infrared heaters allow simultaneous connection of multiple devices, but it is important to know what their total power should not exceed 3-3.5 kW. Otherwise it is necessary to include in the magnetic starter circuit, which will distribute the load.

Summarizing it can be said that the acquisition and installation of the thermostat for heating or heating system - one of the most profitable investments that can be imagined. After thermostat not only makes your life easier by providing a comfortable temperature in the room, but also saves you money on utilities.
