Thermostatic taps
Context:
L’élément thermostatique comprend un piston, qui est normalement fixe par rapport à l’enveloppe, et un corps thermosensible, par rapport auquel le piston est déplaçable en translation suivant un axe sous l’effet d’une thermodilatation de l’élément thermostatique, le tiroir étant solidaire du corps thermosensible.
Another patent that I am editing and this has been translated as "thermodilation" which surely means "expansion".
Is my thinking correct or should I go back to bed?
TIA Chris.

thermal expansion
In something like a patent, I think it's probably important to keep the 'thermal' in there.
However, I'd tend to avoid 'dilation', which tends to be used more in EN for things like openings: 'dilated pupils' etc.
