ThermOmegaTech’s thermostatic mixing valves/diverting valves use a thermal actuator to accurately proportion and maintain flow in response to temperature. These 3-way thermostatic valves are used in a variety of industrial, aerospace, & defense applications.

Installed in mixing mode, the mixing valve’s thermal actuator will sense the temperature to automatically proportion the flow of hot and cold fluid from two inlet ports to produce the desired outlet port temperature.
The thermostatic mixing valve/diverting valve is designed to maintain or proportion flow based on temperature in mixing or diverting applications.

In mixing applications where a controlled temperature outlet is required, the 3-way control valve (M/D) will modulate between the hot and cold inlet feeds (ports “B” and “C”) to mix your fluid to the desired specified temperature exiting the “A” port.
The TBV cartridge can be integrated into a 4-way manifold to monitor inlet flow and divert the fluid based on temperature. Cooler fluid goes through the valve bypass, while hotter fluid goes through the system’s cooler.

Installed in diverting mode, the valve’s thermal actuator will sense the fluid temperature and automatically divert or switch the inlet flow to either of the two outlet ports depending on the valve’s specified temperature requirements.

In diverting applications where the fluid must be directed from one section of a system to another, the thermal diverting valve (aka thermal bypass valve) will modulate inlet fluid temperature and divert return flow through a cooler/ heat exchanger or bypass it to a reservoir/ bypass loop when fluid temperatures are satisfied. This action assures rapid system warm-up, accurate control of fluid temperature, and reduced back pressure in the return.
