What Is a Freeze Protection Thermostat?
Freeze protection thermostats are devices designed to prevent liquids from freezing. They activate a heater when the liquid’s temperature falls below a set threshold to maintain warmth and prevent freezing. Using expansion or temperature-sensitive principles, these thermostats control the heater’s power supply by detecting liquid temperature changes.
Used in applications like refrigerators, freezers, water pipes, pipelines, and tanks, they play roles in maintaining temperatures and preventing freezing in various systems. Comprising temperature detection components, contacts, and heaters, these thermostats are essential for ensuring liquid safety. Selection considerations include the liquid’s nature, temperature needs, and installation conditions.
