Temperature Switch and Thermostat Functions

How do Temperature Switches Work?

Danfoss thermostat products are electromechanical controls which provide a volt free switch contact which will operate at the set temperature, thus providing a simple ON /OFF control.

The temperature switches provide user adjustment to increase or decrease the differential temperature between switch ON/OFF on rising / falling temperature, this enables their operation to be tuned to the application.
