STEMCO, a division of Senasys, Capillary Switches stand out from other capillary switch manufacturer’s because they are temperature compensated. A capillary switch should be temperature compensated to adjust the switch’s performance when changes in temperature occur. For instance, a capillary…
Our different test procedures include pressure and stress the capillary diaphragms over a period of time, and multiple temperature tests. These numerous procedures will tell us if a leak in the capillary diaphragm assembly exists. Once the testing is complete,…
Senasys capillary thermostats at 100% tested and sold across the globe to original equipment manufacturers. Before leaving our facility, these switches undergo submersion testing to verify the temperature which the switch operates. Our quality assurance team submerses 100% of the…
Senasys manufacturers a large variety of temperature switches for HVAC systems: Bi-metal temperature switches Bulb and capillary thermostats Mechanical line voltage thermostats Temperature switches found in HVAC systems are typically mechanical controls that are based on physics. More times than…
As an easy guide, here’s a simple selection guide to help find a capillary switch. If you have one of the series or part numbers listed below, simply match it to our series. Give us a call for for more information. Senasys supplies…
Bulb and Capillary style thermostats use expanding liquid to open or close contacts in response to temperature changes. No matter which style or model you choose, all of the capillary thermostats operate using the same physics. A fluid is encapsulated…
Whether using temperature, pressure, or current, the designation of ON RISE or ON FALL is very important. This is due to hysteresis. HYSTERESIS: DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS When a thermostat switch changes states, from Open to Closed for example, the point at…
Some may say that Capillary and Bimetal Snap Disc style thermostats are old technologies. Many of today’s machines use a digital temperature sensor to control the heating or cooling device, such as a chiller or heating element. We manufacture a…
In a deep fryer a single or double capillary type thermostat may be used. The bulb portion of the capillary is made of Stainless steel, or a plated copper, and is immersed directly into the fluid being heated. One capillary…
