Campini adjustable thermostats are widely used throughout the heating appliance industry. The large bimetal blade ensures excellent repeatability and minimum differential/hysteresis, thus ensuring long-term accurate temperature control. There are simple air-sensing versions (TY53) where the I²R effects of current are negligible and also anticipatory designs (TY35-P) where current flowing through the bimetal blade helps the thermostat to switch "early", thus improving the temperature control function. Surface-sensing versions (TY23) offer control from 0~260°C with loads up to 10A/250VAC.
The TY35-P/TY53 adjustable thermostats are capable of switching over 100k cycles with a current rating of 16A/250VAC, so loads of up to 4kW can be readily controlled. With an angular spindle rotation of 300degrees, you can accurately set the temperature to the desired control level from 6°C to 70°C. Differentials between 1K~3K can be expected and versions with anticipatory resistors can improve this further. These variable thermostats can also be set at their minimum setting (6°C±4K) to act as frost protection controls.
TY53 variable thermostats are available with S.P.D.T. (changeover) contacts to allow them to be used as the sensing portion inside a room thermostat. Different spindle heights and terminal positions are available to suit application requirements.
