Thermostat
placement in a greenhouse:
To get the desired temperature, thermostats should be located at plant height
near the center of the greenhouse where they are not influenced by drafts or sidewall
cooling. It is best if both heating and cooling thermostats are located together
and protected from direct contact with sunlight and water. One simple way to accomplish
this would be to mount the thermostat(s) to a piece of wood with a top on it like
in the picture to the left. Wood should be painted white to shade it from the
sun. |
| What
is a Differential?
The difference between on and off setpoints on a control. For temperature, it
is the difference in degrees between the thermostat's on and off setting. If you
set a heating thermostat with a 3 degree differential to 71°, it will supply power
at any temperature below 71° and cut off at 74° (3 degrees above the setpoint).
A cooling thermostat would cut on above 71° and off at 68°. |

Need
an inexpensive and simple thermostat? Thermostatic outlets are the answer. These
unique devices plug into a standard electrical outlet and have an internal preset
thermostat. Outlets come in two models. The Cooling outlet supplies power
at 78° and cuts off at 70° and works great for all types of fans including exhaust,
circulation, window, attic, and ceiling fans. The Heating outlet supplies
power at 35° and cuts off at 45° and is great for automating heaters to keep room
temperatures above freezing. Each outlet has two receptacles and can be used with
110/120 volt outlets and appliances (15 amp/110v). |
Heating and Cooling outlets can be combined to receive
a quantity discount.
