Thermal Balancing Valve Installation

Pipe installation orientation options for insertion style flow meters type size ball valve st98 1 npt st50 npt fluid components international solves flow and level measurement applications for industrial process and plant applications using patented thermal dispersion flow measurement technologies.

Thermal balancing valve installation. Designed to give continuous flow even when the set temperature is achieved and be able to be installed in any orientation. Mtcv thermal balancing valves provide a dynamic temperature based balancing solution for drinking water applications. The integral fixed orifice design offers greater accuracy than the variable orifice design valves makes set up easier and involves fewer connections resulting in lower installation costs. Hattersley s range of static balancing valves includes double regulating valves and fixed orifice double regulating valves.

The thermostat opens a spring loaded valve in the cold water inlet mixing cold water with hot water from a water heater or boiler. This often results in oversized valves that need to be throttled severely during balancing. Adjustable thermal balancing valve is used for automatic balancing of recirculation loops in domestic hot water systems to speed hot water delivery reduce water waste and save energy. For systems utilizing thermal bacterial disinfection the temp setter valve is available with optional bypass that is independent of the valve s thermostatic element.

The valves prevent too high temperatures causing lime corrosion and high energy costs. Series 785 786 and 787 have an ametal body. Thermal balance throughout the system. To solve this problem armstrong 15 mm to 50 mm balancing valves are designed to be.

They also prevent too low temperatures where legionella risks increase and long waiting times for hot water to occur. Ametal is a copper alloy that also eliminates the added expense of dielectric fittings. The internal thermostatic balancing cartridge automatically modulates flow to ensure a constant temperature in the recirculation piping system. Balancing valves are frequently selected based on the size of the line where they will be installed rather than by the design flow through those valves.

In some cases a tempering valve may allow an installer to adjust the flow rate. These thermally actuated valves and tempering valves can be preset to a specific temperature usually between 80 to 120 degrees fahrenheit. All tour andersson circuit balancing valves include a concealed memory feature with a locking tamper proof setting.
