| THE STEAM FITTINGS CO. Ltd., West Drayton, Mdx. Automatic Temperature Regulators For Rooms and Liquids. AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE REGULATORS serve the purpose of maintaining constant temperatures by shutting off the heating medium when the desired temperature is reached, and re-admitting it at a slight drop. Such regulators should be of simple construction, positive in action, sensitive and durable. Simple apparatus is less liable to get out of order than complicated appliances. Positive action and sensitiveness ensure accurate control. Durability is obtained by avoiding the use of deteriorating materials, such as rubber or similar diaphragms. In many cases it is desirable that each apparatus should be self-contained, that is to say, not dependent on an outside source of energy, the failure of which would put the whole control system out of action. All the conditions named are fulfilled by our “SAMSON” Regulators, and all, with the exception of the last one, by our Electric Regulators. Electric Regulators are convenient for the direct control of Electric Heaters in connection with Automatic (Contactor) Switches. Automatic Temperature Regulators must do accurately, without expense for labour, what can only be done imperfectly without them, at heavy expense for labour, which can be better employed on work for which no automatic substitute exists. The Diagram below shews the results obtained by means of our “SAMSON” Regulator for Liquid temperatures.
