Fenwal controls and Barksdale manufacture mechanical temperature control devices. The switches are bi-metal or liquid filled switches that use expansion and contraction to cause the switching. This type of mechanism can be extremely accurate but lacks in displaying the temperature. In todays computerized/automated world this type of control tends to be used for over temperature control or alarm as opposed to the process control point.
Barksdale manufactures liquid filled switches, both for Hazardous areas and normal areas. The switches can be either local or remote mount. They can sense temperatures up to 600 degrees F.
Local mount type temperature switches are installed in the pipe or vessel. In this type of sensor, the filling fluid surrounds the bellows. A negative temperature change forces the fluid to contract - expanding the bellows to actuate the switch.
Remote bulb and capillary type temperature switches allow the switch enclosure to be placed up to 25 feet from the media. These models use a bulb and capillary sensing device which may be ordered in standard six and 12 foot lengths. Extra lengths up to 25 feet are available. Six and 12 foot sensors can be copper or stainless steel with or without protective spiral-wound armor. The 25 foot lengths are armored stainless steel only.

The FENWAL THERMOSWITCH was invented in the 1930's to control fish tanks, irons and other simple applications, but it was soon realied that they could be used for industrial, commercial and process applications. They're durability, reliability and accuracy are the strong points for THERMOSWITCHES.
THERMOSWITCH® Temperature Controllers are tubular devices featuring an outer shell made of high-expanding metal and internal struts made of low-expanding metal, with a pair of electrical contacts between them.
When the temperature of the media being measured changes, a corresponding change in the spacing of the contacts provides instant on/of
f control with a small differential, resulting in +1°F precision, depending upon the application.

Based on the differential expansion of metals principle, an increase in temperature causes the stainless steel outer case of the Surface Mounting THERMOSWITCH® controller to expand at a greater rate than the internal bridge assembly.
Because the case is in direct contact with the heated surface, a temperature change is sensed almost instantaneously.
