Extract

Few papers presenting a theory of operation of thermostats can be found. This may be explained by mathematical difficulties which are met when considering the rather complicated construction, from the thermal point of view, of most thermostats. There is, however, a relatively great number of papers describing various mechanical constructions of thermostats. In many cases designers obtain very good practical results by making use of some approximate theories only.
