English Wax Control Elements (DAE)
Wax-based expansion elements, called wax elements are thermostatic control units that convert thermal energy into mechanical energy by expansion of the wax, which is subject to a large volume change / volume increase when the (ambient) temperature changes.
The temperature-related volume expansion of the (expansive) filling results in a displacement of the working piston which can be used as a continuous control function or switching function in conjunction with electronic or electromechanical components.
In many cases, the wax element is used as a direct mechanical actuator.
