Hot water control valve
The three-way hot water control valve is
supplied from factory. But, this hot water control
valve is installed in the inlet or outlet line of hot
water at jobsite. The valve has a carbon steel
body with DIN type flanged end connections.
The valve size is changed 1 1/2 to 6 in.,
depending on the machine model or the specific
job requirements. The electric actuator of valve
is operated with 24VAC and controlled with 4 to
20mADC signal. And, the electric power 24VAC Mixing Diverting
and the control signal are supplied from the from II/III to I from I to II/III
chiller control panel. The hot water pipes have to
be correctly connected according to the flow
direction marked at the side of valve body,
whether it is used as mixing type or diverting
type.
