A thermostat has two important functions which help keep an engine at its optimal temperature: stays closed when the engine is below temperature. opens gradually as the engine heats up. Stays Closed - the thermostat should be closed when the engine is cold so that the block can reach its optimal operating temperature as quickly as possible.
a thermostat is used in a control system to open the load from the system or to connect the load to the system based on the temperature levels in the system. Which of the following are the two main types of thermostats? a. low-voltage and pilot duty. b. line-voltage and high-voltage. c. low-voltage and line-voltage. The wax thermostatic element was invented in 1934 by Sergius Vernet (1899–1968). [1] Its principal application is in automotive thermostats used in the engine cooling system. The first applications in the plumbing and heating industries were in Sweden (1970) and in Switzerland (1971).
