What coils or uncoils with a change in temperature in a house thermostat?
Wiki User
∙ 15y ago
These are called bi-metalic coils (two different metals stuck tightly together), which expand and contract at different rates when the temperature changes, thus coiling tighter or looser causing the glass tube filled with Mercury to shift to the right or left to make or break the low voltage (~24volts usually) electrical connection, causing the air conditioner or heater to turn on and turn off when the temperature changes.

What do the coils outside of a refrigerator do?
With the assistance of the condenser fan the " OUTSIDE COILS " IE:condenser coils , convert a hi temperature high pressure vapor into a hi temp hi pressure liquid.
How do the coils in a compression compare to the coils in a rarefaction?

Why does a bimetallic strip curve when it is heated or cooled?
"A bimetallic strip is made of two different metals stacked in a thin strip. Because different metals expand at different rates, one of the metals expands more than the other when the strip gets hot. This makes the strip coil and uncoil in response to changes in temperature=As the room temperature drops below the desired level, the bimetallic strip coils more tightly, and the glass tube tilts. A drop of mercury closes an electric circuit that turns the heater on. As the room temperature rises above the desired level, the bimetallic strip uncoils slightly, becoming larger. The drop of mercury rolls back in the tube, opening the electric circuit and the heater turns off."==Quote from Holt, Rinehart, and Winston Physical Science Textbook=
What happens to an electromagnet when electricity runs through it?
When an electric pulse runs through an electromagnet, the current travels in the electromagnets coils, causing a magnetic field to be developed inside and outside of the coils. The amount of coils, tightness of the coils, and the space between the coils are all very important factors in the production of said EM field.
A component in a refrigeration system having a magnetic coils is considered a?
Both the fan and pump have coils.
How does the thermostat in your house operate?
Traditional thermostats use a sealed glass tube with a bubble of mercury as the low-voltage switch to activate the furnace relay switch. Two wires sealed into the glass are covered or uncoverd by the mercury as it sloshes from side to side in the tube. The tube is moved by a wound bi-metallic strip that coils or uncoils as the temperature changes.
What is the name of a butterfly sipping tube?
The butterfly's sipping tube that coils and uncoils is called a proboscis, verterbrates, and inverterbrates can have these like the elephant. A proboscis is an appendage from the head of an animal. : )
How do you raise front coils?
Change coils.
How does the thermosta on an iron work?
The thermostat on an iron works by turning the power to the heating coils on and off. This regulates the temperature of the iron, keeping it at the desired temperature. Usually, the thermostat is a bi-metallic switch, which moves in response to heat. The knob changes the pressure on the switch, which changes the amount of heat required to turn the switch off.
Where is temp sending unit on 2004 ford ranger?
The Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor for the 2.3L engine is located between the two center ignition coils. The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor for the 3.0L engine is located in the intake manifold to the right of the thermostat housing. The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor for the 4.0L engine is located in the intake manifold behind the thermostat housing.
Where is the thermostat and is it hard to change located on a Ford Escort LX?
just follow the top radiator hose to the cylinder head under the coils... its right there. 3 nuts holding the housing
How can a change in the voltage of a transformer's primary coil create a change in the secondary coils voltage without the coils touching?
The more coils you have on one side will increase the magnetic force
How can a change in voltage of a transformers primary coil create a change in the secondary coils voltage without the coils touching?
The more coils you have on one side will increase the magnetic force
What is a clock spring in the steering column of a ford explorer 2002?
It's basically a coiled ribbon cable that provides power and control to the horn, cruise, radio (if equipped). It coils and uncoils (like a clock spring) as you turn the steering wheel.

What is the use of bimetal thermometer?
They are used in thermostats as a physically temperature sensitive switch. Because the two different metals expand and contract at different rates when bimetals are wound into coils the coils become temperature sensitive and expand and contract with respect to the ambient temperature.
