Position the Sensing Bulb – Place the bulb in the oven or dryer's heating zone for accurate temperature detection.
Secure the Capillary Tube – Avoid sharp bends or damage to maintain proper liquid expansion function.
Mount the Thermostat Body – Fix the thermostat on a control panel or designated mounting location.
Wire the Electrical Connections – Connect terminals to the heater or control circuit following the wiring diagram.
Check Reset Type – If using a manual reset model, ensure it's accessible for safety adjustments.
Adjust the Dial or Knob – Set the desired operating temperature within the range (e.g., 0°C to 400°C).
Verify Cut-Off Settings – For safety thermostats, set an appropriate high-limit temperature to prevent overheating.
Power On the System – Activate the oven or dryer and allow the thermostat to regulate heating.
Observe Temperature Stability – Ensure the thermostat cycles the heater on and off to maintain the set temperature.
Check for Overheat Protection – If the thermostat trips, confirm if it's due to excessive heat and manually reset if needed.
Regularly inspect the capillary tube and sensing bulb for damage.
Ensure proper airflow around the sensor for accurate temperature readings.
Test thermostat functionality periodically to confirm reliable performance.
Replace faulty thermostats immediately to avoid heating system failures.
By following these steps, hydraulic capillary thermostats ensure efficient, precise, and safe temperature control in industrial ovens and dryers.
