A thermostat is a device that is used for regulating the temperature of a system so that it is maintained near the desired set point temperature. The thermostat does this by controlling the flow of heat energy into or out of the system. That is, it switches heating or cooling devices on and off as needed to maintain the correct temperature. The thermostats can be constructed in many ways and may use a variety of sensors to measure temperature.
The output of the sensors then controls the heating or cooling apparatus. Some of the most common sensors include the bi-metal mechanical sensors, the expanding wax pellets, the electronic thermistors, and the electric thermocouples. Auto thermostats need replacement at some point, and replacing your stock thermostat with the Hypertech low temperature Powerstat will allow your vehicles engine to run cooler, making more power and reducing its tendency to detonate. The detonation process that usually produces audible pinging or knocking sounds refers to the spontaneous explosion of unburned air and fuel mixture in the combustion chamber.
Detonation violently ends the normal combustion process, reduces power, and can severely damage the engine. To complete your performance package, the Hypertech brand recommends the use of low temperature thermostat to compliment the performance tuning found among Hypertech Power Tuning Products. The Powerstat low temperature thermostat will improve your vehicles performance in two ways: first, by inducing less heat into the intake air and second, by reducing the engines tendency to detonate. This product is a perfect replacement for factory-supplied thermostats and no modifications are required when you try to install the part. This thermostat will help achieve the full potential of the Hypertech Power Tuning.
