Three-Way Thermostatic Valve

Self-acting 3-way temperature control valve for water and oil, in 3 to 6 inch sizes.

Overview

A thermostatic valve keeps an engine, generator or process circuit at the right temperature with no power supply and no adjustment. NKR supplies FPE three-way thermostatic valves, made in the USA, for water and oil temperature control.

Description

How it works

A wax element, factory-set to your required temperature, expands as the fluid warms and moves a stainless steel sleeve that directs the flow.

  • Diverting: at start-up all fluid returns to the system. As temperature rises, more and more flow is sent to the cooler, until all of it passes through the cooling system.
  • Mixing: hot fluid enters one port and cold fluid another; the valve blends them to the set temperature at the outlet.
