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).

Why do AC and heater run at the same time?

The AC and heater might run at the same time if the thermostat setting triggers both systems to maintain a specific temperature. For example, in heat pump systems, the heat pump may run in cold weather to provide supplemental heat to the home while the AC unit is also activated to cool the air that is released into the home.


Could your thermostat cause you not to have heat?

Certainly. If the engine coolant is flowing freely into the radiator, it will remain quite cool and the coolant that circulates into the heater core will never warm up. The thermostat blocks the coolant from entering into the radiator if the temperature is below the set level on the thermostat. Usually 185, or 195 degrees F. Engines don't run as efficiently at the lower temperature either, so if the thermostat isn't working right, replace it.


How could you use thermal expansion to help get a tight lid off a jam jar?

You can run the lid under hot water to heat it up, causing it to expand slightly and loosen its grip on the jar. Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer to heat the lid for the same effect. Be careful not to overheat the lid or the jar to avoid potential damage.


What activity is an example of electrical energy that changed to heat energy?

An example of electrical energy changing to heat energy is when an electric heater is turned on. The electrical energy powers the heating element in the heater, which then converts the electrical energy into heat energy that warms up the surrounding area.


How do you write a sequence of commands or a script that demonstrates variable expansion occurs before pathname expansion?

To demonstrate variable expansion occurring before pathname expansion in a script, you can create a variable with a wildcard character and then echo the variable within single quotes to prevent pathname expansion. Here's an example: #!/bin/bash files='*.txt' echo '$files' When you run this script, you'll see that the output includes *.txt as is, demonstrating that variable expansion happened before pathname expansion, as the wildcard character wasn't expanded.

How do you know when to replace the thermostat?

Two good indicators of when to replace the car's thermostat: * When you have to run the heater (no matter what time of the year) in order to keep the engine coolant from overheating, * When you no longer get ANY heat from the heater core.


Can a valve be installed at the end of steam expansion loop?

Yes. The expansion loop is only there to take up the thermal expansion of the pipe run, installing a valve will not impede the action of the loop.


Car heater and defrost only blow cold air?

Thermostat stuck open, if older car possibly clogged heater core- when run at oper temp the hoses going into/out of heater core be sure one is very hot - start with thermostat $$$ cheap & easier than a heater core problem!


What should you look for if you are not getting heat in a 1997 Chevy S10?

Check your heater core and thermostat. The thermostat may be stuck open. Does the S10 run hot or cold?


Why does my heater not shut off went i turn it off on my thermostat?

your heater most likely does shut off. this is called the burner orheat exchanger. the fan will continue to run until the exchanger cools down. check you thermostat setting to see if itis on-auto ,-or continous.


What is electric water heater which used in house?

An electric water heater in a hot tank is called an immersion heater and many of those run at 3 kW with a thermostat to control the max temperature. Power showers use a type of water heater that heats the water at the point where it is used, without a tank. They run at 6-8 kW and are also controlled by a thermostat.

What happens if you do not have a thermostat in a 1994 Chrysler Concorde?

It won't harm the engine to run it without the thermostat, but the coolant won't heat up enough to run the heater. By running cool, the engine won't get the optimum fuel economy, and the computer will be constantly trying to compensate. It is easy to install a thermostat, and it would be advised to put one in.
