Thanks, I had no idea. I always thought it was only the spring in the
thermostat that compressed and released under heat.

Yes. There is a fluid in the temperature bulb. The temperature raises, wax
melts, valve moves to open. Temperature drops, wax solidifies. They used to be
called "wax valves", still are in "the biz".
