The capillary thermostat has a capillary tube which is usually filled with a refrigerant which usually contracts or expands due to temperature. As the temperature expands this liquid and in turn this pressure presses against a bellows that pushes against a switch , the switch closes and the refrigerator runs until the capillary cools enough to decrease the pressure and the opposite happens.

Derive an expression for expression for rise of liquid in a capillary tube?
deduce an expression for height of a liquid in capillary tube. also write practical applications of capillary action.
Is a programmable thermostat good to use with a heat pump system?
A programmable thermostat works fine with a heat pump. Just remember that a heat pump does not heat as fast as a furnace because of the lower BTU ratings so do not set the thermostat as far back as you normally would. Also make sure to buy a thermostat that has heat pump terminals.
The function of a capillary tube in a refrigerator?
The capillary tube acts as a restriction in the circuit between the condenser and evaporator. The liquid refrigerant in the condenser is at a high pressure, say 12 bar and it goes through the cap. tube into a region at low pressure, say 3 bar. It then evaporates, producing the cooling effect. The vapour is then compressed by the compressor and goes round again. Large refrigeration plants use an automatic valve for this function to optimise performance under different conditions. A fixed jet could be used, but the hole would be so small that it would easily be blocked. There may be other capillary tubes in some fridges, which are part of a thermometer or thermostat.

How is your endocrine system like the thermostat in your house?
The negative feedback system. It works much the way a thermostat works. When the temperature in a room drops below a set level, the thermostat signals the furnace to turn on. Once the furnace has raised the temp in the room to the set level, the thermostat signals the furnace to shut off. It will continue to stay off until the thermostat signals that the temp has dropped again.
