Sourcebook Programmable Thermostat A programmable thermostat senses the room temperature and controls the HVAC system according to a schedule established by the homeowner. The goal of a setback thermostat is to regulate the HVAC system to maintain a desired comfort level when the home is occupied and then enter an economizing mode when the house is unoccupied. For example, a thermostat in a warm area (kitchen or sunny room)will sense warmer temperatures and over-cool the rest of the house. www.greenbuilder.com /sourcebook/ProgrammableTherm.html   (0 words)

Thermostat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The power through the thermostat is provided by the heating device and may range from millivolts to 240 volts in common North American construction, and is used to control the heating system either directly (electric baseboard heaters and some electric furnaces) or indirectly (all gas, oil and forced hot water systems). Line voltage thermostats are sometimes used in other applications such as the control of fan-coil (fan powered from line voltage blowing through a coil of tubing which is either heated or cooled by a larger system) units in large systems using centralized boilers and chillers. Digital thermostats use either a relay or a semiconductor device such as triac to act as switch to control the HVAC unit. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Thermostat   (2431 words)

Techno’s “Know you car” Series #1 – When the temperature of the coolant reaches 82°C the thermostat (gate) opens and lets the hot coolant flow out of the engine, via the top radiator hose, and into to the radiator. The thermostat is fitted with the cylinder side in the engine (Techno’s rule) "cylinder side to the cylinder side". The "thermostat mechanism" is in the cylindrical part of the device. www.miata.net /garage/KnowYourCar/S1_Thermostat.html   (267 words)

Electronic digital thermostat information Honeywell Invensys Rite Temp Thermostats get blamed for many problems because they are the most prominent part of your equipment that you see all the time and get replaced like spark plugs. When the thermostat is placed in the "emergency heat mode" it disables the outdoor unit ("Y" terminal) and makes the "W" terminal live on a call for heat as well as "G". If you have a fossil fuel kit with oil you should wire the system so that when the thermostat is placed in the EM heat position (E terminal is activated) you disable the oil burner and allow the heat pump to run. toad.net /~jsmeenen/thermostat.html   (1690 words)

EERE Consumer's Guide: Thermostats and Control Systems By turning your thermostat back 10°–15° for 8 hours, you can save about 5%–15% a year on your heating bill—a savings of as much as 1% for each degree if the setback period is eight hours long. A common misconception associated with thermostats is that a furnace works harder than normal to warm the space back to a comfortable temperature after the thermostat has been set back, resulting in little or no savings. Alternately, a normal programmable thermostat can be set to begin its cool down well before you leave or go to bed and return to its regular temperature two or three hours before you wake up or return home. www.eere.energy.gov /consumer/your_home/space_heating_cooling/index.cfm/mytopic=12720   (889 words)

NetLogo Models Library: Thermostat A thermostat is a device that responds to the temperature of a room in order to maintain the temperature at some desired level. A simple thermostat does this by switching the heater on when the temperature of the room has fallen below the set desired temperature, and switching the heater off once the desired temperature has been reached or exceeded. In this case, it is the regulating function of the thermostat that we are primarily concerned with. ccl.northwestern.edu /netlogo/models/Thermostat   (941 words)

Thermostat Calibration and Replacement for hot tubs and spas In view of the fact that most of these types of thermostats will lose their maximum temperature sense rating over time, and recalibration is all that is typically required, this procedure is presented to show you how an experienced spa technician may solve this problem quite easily, without actually having to replace the thermostat switch. Thermostats of this type provide RELATIVE indications of temperature, (ie, hot or cold only), and re-calibrating a thermostat to make the heater perform at a higher temperatures is a SERIOUS procedure. As an example, (using a typical old thermostat in use in the field), the ON point with water that is in the 80 degree farenheit range, will normally be in the late 20% of the clockwise rotation, ie, midway through the HOT indication on the control panel. spasupport.com /seq/tstatcal   (1374 words)

White-Rodgers - Thermostats, digital programmable, non-programmable, mechanical thermostat With the thermostat set to COOL and the temperature lowered below the room temperature by a couple of degrees, there can be up to a five minute delay before the thermostat activates the compressor and an indoor blower. Thermostat programming and configuration will not be affected by pressing the reset button but the clock will need to be reset. You can also check the wire routing to verify the thermostat or remote wires are not running parallel to high voltage lines with high inductive loads that could (in extreme cases) create a voltage spike at the thermostat. www.white-rodgers.com /wrdhom/common/ptech/thermo/90_Series_faq.htm   (3546 words)

DIESELSITE 203* Thermostat thermostat should be slightly better fuel economy, less smoke, and maybe a few extra "ponies" to go along with it. With the thermostat fully open, the bypass is mostly closed, and vice versa. As with the OEM thermostat requirements, we recommend that you change your thermostat out once per year to insure proper functioning of the unit. www.dieselsite.com /index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=186   (1603 words)

Howstuffworks "How Car Cooling Systems Work" The thermostat's main job is to allow the engine to heat up quickly, and then to keep the engine at a constant temperature. The secret of the thermostat lies in the small cylinder located on the engine-side of the device. This cylinder is filled with a wax that begins to melt at around 180 F (different thermostats open at different temperatures, but 180 F is a common one). auto.howstuffworks.com /cooling-system8.htm   (371 words)

Programmable Thermostats : ENERGY STAR Programmable thermostats automatically adjust your home's temperature settings, allowing you to save energy while you're away or sleeping. If you are like many homeowners and work outside the home during the day and have a different schedule on the weekend, a programmable thermostat can offer many benefits, and the return on your investment is usually within 1 year. On the other hand, if you are home throughout the day, seven days a week, then a programmable thermostat will offer more limited benefits. www.energystar.gov /index.cfm?c=thermostats.pr_thermostats   (0 words)

Wireless Thermostat Place another wireless thermostat in your family room so when you want to "bump" the temperature up or down a degree or two, just reach over to the wireless thermostat on the table an press the up or down arrow button.

If you are interested in a thermostat that accepts multiple temperature inputs from either wired or wireless sensors to compute an average area temperature, see our Commercial Flushmount Thermostat (1/4 inch thin). ourworld.compuserve.com /homepages/rciautomation/p1.htm   (1108 words)

Natural Handyman's Thermostat Page A thermostat, in its simplest form, must be manually adjusted to change the indoor air temperature. By turning your thermostat back 10ø to 15ø for 8 hours, you can save about 5% to 15% a year on your heating bill--a savings of as much as 1% for each degree if the setback period is eight hours long. Digital thermostats are identified by their LED or LCD digital readout and data entry pads or buttons. www.naturalhandyman.com /iip/infxtra/infthermostat.shtm   (2102 words)

EE476 Final Project: Microcontroller Based Thermostat The thermostat was to compute the current temperature once per second and then send an on/off signal to a heating device which would then regulate the temperature to a desired target temperature. In addition, the thermostat was required to keep a time of day clock, as well as record the maximum and minimum temperature values that have occurred. In addition, the thermostat also required the use of both an LCD and a keyboard for the purpose of user interaction. instruct1.cit.cornell.edu /courses/ee476/FinalProjects/s1999/jason/476final.html   (1190 words)
