The Leitenberger TC 01 room thermostat is a robust and reliable solution for precise temperature regulation, equipped with a liquid-filled capillary system. This device is an ideal choice for industrial, commercial, or residential applications where stable and accurate temperature monitoring is essential. „Made in Germany” quality guarantees a long service life and dependable operation.
The TC 01 thermostat is an integral part of the Leitenberger Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH product range, known for its high-quality measuring and control technology. The device is based on a liquid-filled capillary system, which enables extremely precise temperature sensing through the integrated probe. .
The thermostat is equipped with a single-pole, changeover contact (SPDT) relay, which allows for simple switching on and off of heating or cooling systems based on the set temperature limits. The maximum load capacity of 16 A at 250 V AC ensures broad compatibility with various control circuits.
The flexibility of the device is provided by the two available measuring ranges, allowing the user to adjust the setting to specific application requirements. The long, 2000 mm nickel-plated capillary tube allows the probe to be placed in the space to be measured while the control unit remains at a safe distance. The probe itself is nickel-plated, 120 mm long, and 6 mm in diameter, guaranteeing optimal heat transfer and durability.
The table below summarizes the critical technical parameters of the TC 01 room thermostat:
| Parameter | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Part Number (Base) | TC 01 | |
| Operating Principle | Liquid-filled capillary system | |
| Available Measuring Ranges | between -35 °C and +35 °C OR between 0 °C and +40 °C | Order Codes: TC01_35035 or TC01_00040 |
| Differential (Switching Hysteresis) | $Delta T = 3 pm 1 text{ K}$ | The measure of fluctuation around the set value. |
| Maximum Probe Temperature | $+60 text{ °C}$ | The maximum temperature the probe can withstand. |
| Switch Type | 1 SPDT relay | Single-pole, changeover contact relay. |
| Maximum Load Capacity | $16 text{ A}$ / $250 text{ V AC}$ | |
| Capillary Length | $2000 text{ mm}$ | Nickel-plated version. |
| Probe Dimensions | $120 times 6 text{ mm}$ | Nickel-plated version. |
| Manufacturing Quality | Quality made in Germany |
The TC 01 thermostat is ideally suited for areas where reliable, mechanical temperature control is required, and where robust, analog solutions are preferred over electronic sensors.
Main Advantages:
High Accuracy: The fluid-filled system provides excellent repeatability and accuracy in maintaining the set temperature, within the specified $pm 1 text{ K}$ hysteresis.
Robust Design: The nickel-plated probe and capillary, along with the solid design, guarantee long-term, trouble-free operation even under harsh industrial conditions.
Wide Temperature Range: The two selectable ranges (-35/+35 °C and 0/+40 °C) cover most refrigeration, heating, and general HVAC requirements.
Simple Integration: The standard SPDT relay output can be easily integrated into existing control panels or directly into heating/cooling units.
Typical Applications:
Refrigeration technology: Monitoring and control of the temperature in cold rooms, refrigerated display cases, and industrial refrigeration units.
HVAC Technology: Control of heating and cooling systems where maintaining the set comfort zone is crucial.
Industrial Processes: Manufacturing processes that require stable, but not necessarily digitally controlled, temperature conditions.
Solar Collector Systems: Although Leitenberger's portfolio also includes dedicated solar pumps, the TC 01 can be used to control temperature-based start/stop operations.
When ordering the TC 01 thermostat, the desired measurement range must be specified precisely using the correct order code:
TC01_35035: Temperature range: between $-35 text{ °C}$ and $+35 text{ °C}$.
TC01_00040: Temperature range: between $0 text{ °C}$ and $+40 text{ °C}$.
