thermostats contain bimetallic strips, which are strips of two different metals joined together. When the thermostat is on cool, thermal energy is released. when the thermostat is on high, thermal energy moves through the air (everywhere in the atmosphere).
Thermal expansion is used in thermostats, or heat-regulating devices.
This increase of volume is called expansion
Thermal expansion has been used to create many different devices including the fire sprinkler. Fire sprinklers have a bimetallic strip which will bend to one side when heated to connect to electricity and trigger the sprinkler.Ê
- Thermal expansion is the dimension modification of a material under heating. - Linear, volumetric and area thermal expansion are known and measured for materials.

A thermostat is a common application of a thermal expansion. It works as an indicator with an internal liquid that rises up if the temperature in the room also heats up.

Yes as friend Des Dichado pointed out liquids do have thermal expansion.
A bridge must have expansion gaps or else they will waver when they expand in warm temperatures. This is thermal expansion
A thermostat is a thermal sensing switch.
