Thermostats work by only allowing so much engine coolant to go to the engine to keep it at about an even 200 degrees. The are cheap easiy to put in but can become faulty very easily.

What is the name of the two metals that are plated together and heated for thermostats?

Bimetallic strips are used in thermostats where two metals, usually steel and copper, are layered together and heated to create a coil that bends with changes in temperature.


What is made up of two different metals and found in thermostats?

A bimetallic strip is made up of two different metals and is commonly found in thermostats. When the temperature changes, the bimetallic strip bends due to the different rates of expansion of the two metals, which helps control the thermostat.


What are advantages of expansion and contraction on solid?

There aren't many ... mostly it's something you have to design around, BUT: thermostats work because of it. Shrink-fit of parts: for instance, the steel rims on steam locomotive wheels.


How thermastats work?

Thermostats work by sensing the temperature in a space and then activating a heating or cooling system to reach a desired temperature set by the user. Once the set temperature is reached, the thermostat signals the heating or cooling system to turn off until the temperature needs adjusting again. This helps to maintain a consistent and comfortable temperature in a home or building.


Why are bimetallic strips used in thermostats?

The two metals chosen for the bimetallic strip have different modulii of thermal expansion, The bimetallic strip bends as the temperature changes and so the strip can be used to activate relays or other electronic switches and so work as a thermostat.
