What is the principle of an automotive temperature control switch?
1 Answers
Automotive temperature control switch principle: The temperature control switch has a bimetallic strip inside, which has different thermal expansion coefficients. This allows it to deform when reaching a certain critical temperature range, causing the contacts to connect and achieve the purpose of conducting electricity. When the temperature falls below this range, it returns to its original position, disconnecting the circuit. The temperature control switch uses high-quality imported disc-shaped bimetallic strips as temperature sampling elements. The water temperature switch is installed at the temperature-sensitive part of the radiator to dynamically collect the temperature changes of the water inside the radiator. Through the principle of the disc-shaped metal strip deforming under temperature and transient jumping at the temperature point, combined with the action of the mechanism, the two contacts are quickly connected, starting the fan to cool the water in the radiator, providing safety protection for the car engine.
