2. Thermal cutoff - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_cutoff

   A thermal cutoff is an electrical safety device (either a thermal fuse or thermal switch) that interrupts electric current when heated to a specific temperature. These devices may be for one-time use (a thermal fuse), or may be reset manually or automatically (a thermal switch).

3. 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.

4. Bang–bang control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang–bang_control

   Bang–bang control A water heater that maintains desired temperature by turning the applied power on and off (as opposed to continuously varying electrical voltage or current) based on temperature feedback is an example application of bang–bang control. Although the applied power switches from one discrete state to another, the water temperature will remain relatively constant due to the ...

5. Mercury switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_switch

   A metal ball and contact wires can directly replace it, but may require additional circuitry to eliminate switch bounce. Low-precision thermostats use a bimetal strip and a switch contact. Precision thermostats use a thermistor or silicon temperature sensor. Low-cost accelerometers replace the mercury tilt switch in precision applications.

6. Programmable thermostat - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_thermostat

   A programmable thermostat is a thermostat which is designed to adjust the temperature according to a series of programmed settings that take effect at different times of the day. Programmable thermostats are also known as setback thermostats or clock thermostats .

7. Resettable fuse - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resettable_fuse

   A resettable fuse or polymeric positive temperature coefficient device ( PPTC) is a passive electronic component used to protect against overcurrent faults in electronic circuits.
