What types of metals are in the new thermostat and old thermostats? we do a project and comparing the difference between metals in the old thermostat and new thermostat. Please reply if you know for sure. we want the list of metals in the old thermostat and a list of metals in a new thermostat. Thank you!
The former contained a mercury switch, the new use of a thermistor and digital electronics to control things. So, mercury vs silicon. The rest of the material, as is the case, seems irrelevant.
In the older version of helical spring in which the mercury switch is attached a steel tungsten reacts by contracting with colder temperatures, the expansion in warmer regions, and tilt the mercury switch or the outside.
