Thermostat. Le réglage de la température ou réglage thermostatique est le contrôle et le maintien à une température donnée soit d’un corps de chauffe(fer à repasser, foyer de cuisson), soit de ce que l'on veut chauffer(eau, air, aliments, récipients). Ce maintien se fait à l'aide de «thermostats», dont le principe repose sur la dilatation et la contraction d’un métal, d’un liquide ou d’un gaz, lors des variations de température. Ces dilatations et contractions agissent mécaniquement sur un contact électrique qui ouvre et ferme les circuits. 3, record 1, French, - thermostat
