2. Overheating (electricity) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overheating_(electricity)

   Heat sinks are often attached to portions of the circuit that produce most heat or are vulnerable to heat. Fans are also often used. Some high-voltage instruments are kept immersed in oil. In some cases, to remove unwanted heat, a cooling system like air conditioning or refrigerating heat-pumps may be required.

3. Programmable thermostat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_thermostat

   A rechargeable battery operates the thermostat just as in the clock thermostat, charging when the thermostat is not calling and discharging while the thermostat is calling. A non-rechargeable battery always powers the thermostat. To limit the amount of power drawn from the battery, such thermostats use an impulse relay that does not require the ...

4. Thermostat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat

   A thermostat exerts control by switching heating or cooling devices on or off, or by regulating the flow of a heat transfer fluid as needed, to maintain the correct temperature. A thermostat can often be the main control unit for a heating or cooling system, in applications ranging from ambient air control to automotive coolant control.

   According to the U.S. Department of Energy, people can save up to 10% per year on heating and cooling expenses by dialing their thermostat back eight hours a day from its normal setting, between 7 ...

6. Thermal conductance and resistance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductance_and...

   The heat flow can be modelled by analogy to an electrical circuit where heat flow is represented by current, temperatures are represented by voltages, heat sources are represented by constant current sources, absolute thermal resistances are represented by resistors and thermal capacitances by capacitors.

   Overall, Lambert says there are "too many variables" with space heaters for him to personally feel comfortable using one. "I did more than one fatal fire that involved a space heater, and they ...

8. Smart thermostat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_thermostat

   The gas savings for manual thermostat replacements (10% per thermostat) was found to be larger than for programmable thermostat replacements (8% per thermostat). The difference in electricity savings between homes whose prior equipment was a manual thermostat or programmable thermostat was found to be minimal.

9. Wax thermostatic element - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_thermostatic_element

   Once the optimum operating temperature is reached, the thermostat progressively increases or decreases its opening in response to temperature changes, dynamically balancing the coolant recirculation flow and coolant flow to the radiator to maintain the engine temperature in the optimum range as engine heat output, vehicle speed, and outside ...
