STEMCO Capillary Thermostats and Thermowells for food warming cabinets play a vital role in maintaining precise temperature control. These components are essential for ensuring that food is kept at the right temperature to meet safety standards and preserve its quality. To request OEM pricing, contact us.
Our capillary thermostats are equipped with ambient compensation features, which offset temperature differentials, ensuring that thermostat controls remain highly accurate even as environmental conditions change. This capability is particularly advantageous in dynamic settings, where temperature variations are common.
Capillary Thermostats for Food Warming Cabinets
- Temperature Regulation: STEMCO capillary thermostats are designed to regulate and control the temperature inside food warming cabinets. These thermostats consist of a temperature-sensing bulb connected to a capillary tube, which is filled with a temperature-sensitive fluid. As the temperature changes inside the cabinet, the fluid expands or contracts, causing the thermostat to activate or deactivate the heating elements.
- Accurate Temperature Measurement: An optional thermowell can be added which is a protective tube that encases the sensing bulb of the thermostat. This design allows for accurate temperature measurement without being influenced by external factors or direct contact with the cabinet’s heating elements. The thermowell shields the thermostat from potential damage and ensures precise temperature readings.
- Uniform Heat Distribution: Food warming cabinets are designed to keep various dishes at a consistent and uniform temperature. STEMCO capillary thermostats work in conjunction with the cabinet’s heating elements to achieve this uniform heat distribution. By accurately sensing and controlling the temperature, the thermostats help prevent hotspots and cold zones within the cabinet.
- Energy Efficiency: Efficient temperature control is important for energy conservation in food warming cabinets. STEMCO capillary thermostats are designed to respond to temperature changes promptly, minimizing unnecessary heating cycles. This results in improved energy efficiency, reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
- Compliance with Food Safety Standards: Maintaining the right temperature is crucial for ensuring that food is stored safely and meets health and safety standards. STEMCO capillary thermostats provide the necessary precision to comply with food safety regulations, preventing the growth of harmful bacteria and ensuring that the food remains within the recommended temperature range.
- Reliability and Durability: STEMCO is known for manufacturing durable and reliable components. The capillary thermostats and thermowells are designed to withstand the challenging conditions within food warming cabinets, including high temperatures and constant use. This reliability ensures that the components continue to function effectively over an extended period.
