The 27 pages that link to Thermostat, each with the reason it gives.

• RefrigerationRelated: It starts or stops refrigeration as the cooled space warms or reaches its target.

• ThermometerRelated: Thermostats use temperature sensing to control rooms and equipment.

• Thermal managementRelated: Feedback control lets cooling respond to measured temperature.

• Heating, ventilation, and air conditioningRelated: Its sensing and control decisions determine when HVAC equipment operates.

• Rice cookerRelated: In many rice cookers, it helps end cooking when the inner pot's temperature rises above boiling.

• OvenRelated: It cycles the oven’s heat source to maintain a selected temperature.

• ThermistorRelated: A thermistor can supply the temperature signal, but a thermostat is the control system that acts on it.

• Slow cookerRelated: It helps maintain the low or high heat setting during extended cooking.

• ToasterRelated: Some toaster designs use temperature feedback to control browning and end the cycle.

• Central heatingRelated: It signals when the system should supply heat to maintain the chosen indoor temperature.

• Clothes dryerRelated: Temperature controls help prevent overheating during a drying cycle.

• Cornelis DrebbelRelated: Drebbel devised temperature-regulating mechanisms for incubators and other applications.

• Hair dryerRelated: It can interrupt heating when the dryer reaches a set temperature.

• Electric stoveRelated: The stove’s controls use temperature regulation to cycle power and limit heat.

• Hair ironRelated: Temperature regulation helps an iron maintain its selected heat setting.

• Water heatingRelated: A water-heater thermostat regulates heating to maintain a chosen water temperature.

• Clothes ironRelated: It regulates the soleplate temperature to suit different fabrics.

• CoffeemakerRelated: Many coffeemakers use thermostats to heat brew water and limit overheating.

• Easy-Bake OvenRelated: Temperature regulation helps keep the oven within a usable baking range.

• Home applianceRelated: It regulates temperature in ovens, refrigerators, and climate-control appliances.

• Major applianceRelated: Temperature feedback keeps refrigerators and ovens near their set points.

• Water dispenserRelated: A thermostat can control heating or cooling in temperature-selectable dispensers.
