English Temperature Control Element Diaphragm (TWG)
Temperature based volume expansion of the charge results in a displacement of the diaphragm. The Displacement is mainly used as a constant control or switching function in connection with electronic or electro mechanical components. Diaphragm systems can also be used as direct mechanical actuators. In case of a leakage, diaphragm moves into a neutral position which may also be used as a safety function. Maximum actuator force depends on the geometry and the charge itself.
Characteristics:
- Function not requiring any auxiliary energy
- Charges: fluid, gas, refrigerants, mixed phases
- Compact design
- Expansions from 0.005 up to 0.10 mm/K
- Suitable for temperature ranges from -35°C up to + 380°C
- Linear characteristic
- Pressure or displacement limitation (only gas, refrigerant and mixed phases charges)
- Safety function
- Own diaphragm production
Materials:
Stainless steel (diaphragm + housing), copper and brass, plating on demand
Application field:
Frost protection, refrigeration thermostat, safety switches, hot air sensors, temperature sensors with little space requirement.
