Aquastats are thermostats sensing the temperature of the water itself, and are used basically to stop and start the burner by controlling the electrical circuit. The temperature of the water is held within preset limits by the aquastats. As the temperature of the water drops to the low setting, the aquastat closes a contact and starts the burner. When the temperature reaches the high setting, the aquastat opens the contact and stops the burner. There is usually a high limit setting which will open the contact, if it should fail to open on the automatic HI/LO control. This feature can be contained within the same instrument or it might be a separate unit. What temperature should the aquastat be set at for the boiler?

What are the water dams in UAE and their capacity?

Where is the aquastat located on an boiler?
Usually on one of the sides with it`s sensing bulb going into a well.
Why won't your heater work?
Not plugged in? Gas valve shut? Oil ran out? Thermostat /aquastat not calling for heat?
Why does Ford Focus 54-plate radiator fan switch on immediately when the engine is started when cold?
Because the aquastat is stuck or shorted.
Why 2002 Ford Focus Radiator Fan Not Working?
Bad connection, bad aquastat or bad motor. Or maybe a bad fuse?
Why does my ford focus cooling fan keep coming on and going off again. The temperature gets up to mid way and then the fan cuts in for a few seconds and it drops straight to cold on the needle?
there may be a problem with the gauge,sensor or thermostat try replacing the thermostat firstI think you mean the AQUASTAT, that controls the fan. The THERMOSTAT is in the upper water hose inlet and controls only the temperature of the water. The aquastat operates the fan, only.
Why is it that when you turn on the hot water the hot water comes out instantly?
For bldgs with long runs between the source and the use point, a HW recirculating system could be installed. This can be a full loop with a circulator and aquastat, or a check valve between the hot and cold water lines at the farthest fixture with the circulator controlled by an aquastat sensing the return water temp (by Taco Hydronics). Another possibility is an Instantaneous heater close to the point of use; either gas or electric.
