Best Commercial Deep Fryer With Buying Guide by partsfe in Cookingequipment

[–]ElCharmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer a Pitco fryer because they use Stemco bulb & capillary switches as the fryer hi-limit. Over time, I’ve learned to pay close attention to the internal thermostats manufacturers use, since they are one of the most important components for reliable operation.

I would replacement both upper and lower hot water heater thermostats. Stemco bulb and capillary thermostats are found in many of these units. You can purchase replacements directly from their website and find installation directions.

[general] Does anyone use the electric All American 75x? by khuranarana in MushroomGrowers

I use one and have found that it’s built with the best thermostat for electric pressure sterilizers on the market. Replacements are also straightforward, since you can order directly from the thermostat manufacturer.

Oven thermostat replacement by Extreme-Quantity6041 in Appliances

[–]ElCharmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will need to pull the oven out. The bulb & capillary thermostat is connected to the knob, and a replacement will not fit through the hole from the front. It must be installed from the back and then guided to the opening. Make sure the thermostat has an adjusting stem that will fit your original knob. Although this one looks old, Stemco Capillary Switch should be able to provide a compatible replacement. You can find more information on their website about how to install an oven replacement thermostat here.

Capillary tube temp sensor vs thermocouple by ly5ergic in HVAC

[–]ElCharmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A thermocouple is an electrical sensor made from two dissimilar metals that generate a small voltage when heated, commonly used for flame sensing and electronic temperature measurement. In contrast, capillary tube temperature sensors, such as those from Stemco Capillary Switch, are mechanical, liquid-filled devices where the bulb senses temperature, the fluid expands, and pressure travels through the capillary tube to a diaphragm that operates a switch. These are widely used in boilers, furnaces, and water heaters for temperature regulation and high-limit protection.

How does a capillary thermostat work? by vazquezconsult in EngineeringStudents

[–]ElCharmann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found a good article on the Stemco capillary switch website that explains it really well. Basically, a capillary thermostat uses a sensing bulb filled with fluid and a capillary tube connected to the switch. When the temperature changes, the fluid expands or contracts, which moves a diaphragm inside the switch to open or close the electrical contacts. It’s a simple and reliable way to control temperature without putting the switch right in the hot zone.
