Fenwal Thermoswitch® Temperature Controllers
- Adjustable setpoint
- Rugged construction
- Various head styles
- UL component recognition
- Strut-and-tube type thermostats comprised of two basic parts: (1) the outer
shell - made of high expanding metal and (2) the strut assembly - made
of low expanding metal
- A pair of electrical contacts is mounted on the strut assembly and installed
in the shell under tension or compression. Because each end of the strut
assembly is mechanically connected to the ends of the shell, a net change
in force is produced on the low-expansion strut assembly as the high expanding
shell expands or contracts with changing temperature. The temperature at
which the contacts make or break can be regulated by a temperature adjusting
sleeve
- Options: Coupling head well; High pressure coupling head well
Series 17000 Cartridge --
- May be inserted in a 5/8" reamed hole. If reamed hole is used, a short
spline should be added to receive locating pin on thermostat-this prevents
thermostat from turning when the temperature adjusting sleeve is turned
Series 17100 Hex Head --
- Has all the internal features of the Cartridge Type above with the addition
of a standard pipe thread for mounting purposes. A dial, knob and armored
cable over lead wires can be supplied with this model
Series 17200 Block Head --
- Has the same mounting characteristics as the Cartridge Type unit but is
designed so additional components such as a dial, knob, armored cable over
lead wires, packing glands over lead wires, and tamper-proof cap over temperature
adjusting sleeve may be included
Series 17300 Flange Head --
- Has all the features of the Block Head Type except a mounting flange has
been provided for easy mounting
Series 17800 Junction --
Box Immersion
- Has electric conduit box containing terminal block, temperature adjusting
dial and knob. Extended hexagonal section with standard pipe thread permits
easy mounting into properly tapped hole or boss, immersing shell into fluid
medium to be controlled
- (Dial and knob can be provided outside of box)
30000 Series Surface Mounting Thermoswitch Controller
 |
- Adjusting screw
- Expanding stainless steel case
- Fine silver contacts
- Low expansion metal bridge
-
The outer shell or case is the activating element. A temperature change
is sensed immediately by the case, expanding or contracting in response.
This linear change activates an internal bridge, opening the electrical
contacts with increase in temperature
