🔧 Core Identity & Function
Part Number: 18557‑2 Component: Reverse‑Acting Remote Bulb Temperature Control OEM: AERCO Temperature Range: –20°F to 240°F Action: Reverse‑acting (output decreases as sensed temperature rises)
This control uses a remote bulb sensor to monitor temperature at a distance from the control body (pipe, tank, duct, or heat‑exchanger surface). The reverse‑acting design is used when rising temperature must reduce output, such as:
-
High‑limit safety functions
-
Cooling‑valve actuation
-
Hydronic system protection
-
Combustion‑air or water‑temperature regulation
