thermostatic
Maintaining constant temperature
Thermostatic describes devices or systems that automatically regulate temperature.
A thermostatic valve opens or closes in response to temperature changes.
A thermostatic control maintains a set temperature by switching heating or cooling on and off.
The thermostatic shower valve prevents scalding.
