Frost protection thermostats<br />

Purpose:<br />

Frost protection thermostats are designed to prevent water-filled heat<br />

exchangers from freezing.<br />

Method:<br />

The air-side frost temperature must be monitored with a capillary sensor.<br />

Construction Function System<br />

Force/deflection<br />

The capillary frost-protection sensor operates on the principle of vapour<br />

pressure condensation. If the temperature falls below the preset switching<br />

point of 2 °C at any point along any 10 cm length, the vapour pressure in<br />

the sensor system drops, causing the frost alarm to trip.<br />
