Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0348716A2] A thermal switch, serving especially as a temperature limiter for a radiant heating body (11) for heating a glass-ceramic plate (12), has radiant heaters (13, 14). Its bar-shaped temperature sensor (20) has an expansion bar (24) which is located in a tube (25) serving as a reference and which can consist of a chromium/iron/aluminium alloy and is heat-treated above 1100 DEG C. The tube (25) can consist of a radiation-absorbing material or is coated with such, for example cordierite, non-transmissive glass ceramic or vitreous silica. Both measures ensure that the thermal switch has an increased switching amplitude and therefore a reduced switching frequency. <IMAGE>
