Fan Relay
•
•
•
Instant action switch
When low voltage is
applied, a magnet is
used to change the
condition of the
contacts
What was open is
now closed, what was
closed is now open.
Sequencer
•
Can have multiple levels (stages) to send
power to different loads, at different times
Sequencer
•
•
•
A delayed action
switch
When low
voltage is
applied it heats
a small element
Heat causes
bimetallic switch
to close

Forced-Air Systems
Heat
• Increasing the temperature in a specific space
0K = -459.67˚F
300K = 80.3˚F
Adding heat = molecules move faster
Adding Heat
• Cant be created, just transformed
Moving Heat
Conduction – Convection - Radiation
Heat
IMPORTANT:
Heat will only transfer from higher
temperature to lower, never the reverse.

Thermostat
• Think of a thermostat as a switch that
is controlled by the temperature of the
living space.
• The operator controls the open/close
point of that switch.
• The temperature in the room controls
the actual switch.
