Abstract
An anticipator for controlling the cycle rate of a thermostat. The anticipator has means for transferring heat supplied thereto, and a negative temperature coefficient resistor is enclosed within the heat transferring means and disposed in heat transfer relation with it for supplying the heat thereto. The resistance of the negative temperature coefficient resistor varies as a function of its temperature wherein the negative temperature coefficient resistor is responsive to current applied thereto to attain an operating temperature appreciably in excess of that of the ambient in which the anticipator may be located for generating the heat. A thermostat is also disclosed.
