Title:
THERMOELEMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/035393
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
It is intended to provide a thermoelement in which the heat conductance of a wax as an expanding matter is improved and a diaphragm is also improved and which has a simple structure and a high durability and shows a good response. The heat conductance of a wax employed as an expanding matter is improved by blending the wax with metal pieces such as a metal powder or a metal foil and a low-melting alloy having a melting point higher than the melting point of the wax to thereby improve the response. Further, a piston-insertion hole is formed at the center of a thick sealing material and the part located between the piston-insertion hole and the sealing part provided in the outer periphery is employed as a thick wall part having a large thickness, thereby forming an easily deformable thick wall part. Thus, the thick sealing material has the function of a diaphragm in an existing thermoelement as well as the function of a gummy fluid. Owing to this constitution, it is unnecessary to use a gummy fluid, a rubber piston or a protecting plate, which makes it possible to give a thermoelement being made up of a smaller number of parts, having a simple structure, being free from the leakage of a gummy fluid and having a high durability.
