Model R Thermostatic Valve
The AMOT model R Thermostatic valve is supplied with the temperature element assembly factory-set to the nominal temperature setting. Temperature is sensed at Port A which remains open to Port B (bypass) until the fluid temperature reaches a point below the nominal setting. As the temperature continues to rise, the sliding valve moves to close off Port B and Port C (connected to the cooler or heat exchanger). Port B is fully closed above the nominal setting. The valve continually modulates the fluid flow to maintain the nominal temperature. For optimum control, the system should be sized so about half the total fluid flow passes through the cooler at full load.
Features
