What is Thermostat

A thermostat is a device that controls the temperature in a space by regulating the operation of a heating or cooling system. It works by sensing the current temperature in the space and comparing it to the desired

temperature set by the user. If the current temperature is lower than the set temperature, the thermostat will signal the heating system to turn on, and if the current temperature is higher than the set temperature, it will signal the cooling system to turn on.

There are different types of thermostats, including mechanical thermostats, which use a bimetallic strip to sense temperature changes and move a set of contacts to control the heating or cooling system, and electronic thermostats, which use a digital display and electronic sensors to control the temperature. Electronic thermostats can also be programmable, enabling the user to set different temperatures for different times of the day.

Thermostats can be used in a variety of settings, including homes, offices, and industrial buildings, to help maintain a comfortable temperature and save energy.
