ABSTRACT:
A thermostat assembly for opening and closing an electrical circuit in response to the temperature within a measurement region. The thermostat assembly includes a relatively low-cost bimetal disc thermostat, but may be used in circumstances where temperature or other conditions exceed the design limitations of the bimetal disc thermostat. An elongated probe has a distal end arranged to extend at least to the measurement region, and a heat-disseminating end in thermal contact with a thermally-conductive outer housing surface of the bimetal disc thermostat.
