ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed an improved anticipator construction for a space heating and/or cooling thermostat in which a heat conductor is positioned in contact with the anticipator resistor heater with a portion thereof in heat exchange relationship to the bimetallic switch actuator of the thermostat. The preferred embodiment includes an elongated resistive heater having a non-linear resistance along its length with a moveable contact mounted within the thermostat for providing a fixed adjustability in the resistance of the resistive heater. The non-linear resistance of the resistive heater compensates, at least partly, for the exponential heat release response with variation in resistance of the resistive heater, thereby providing an expanded range of applications of the thermostat.
