The thermosensitive body consists of metallic capsule containing special liquid mixing with water and alcohol, bimetal, or wax. Condensate is at saturated temperature when it occurs, and following that the temperature decreases by heat loss. The set temperature and decreasing temperature against saturated temperature when opening the valve differs depending on the design of the steam trap. However, because of the limited response capability of thermal sensors, it is difficult to operate them at temperatures very close to saturated temperature.

Hot water mixing valve

The method for adjusting a thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) can vary depending on the specific model and manufacturer but generally involves the following steps:

When the hot and cold water inputs are initially turned on, the temperature of the mixed water output will be determined by the relative flow rates of the two streams. As the water flows through the mixing chamber, the thermostatic element will sense the temperature of the mixed water and adjust the valve accordingly to maintain a constant output temperature.

We believe that relationships are built by hard work and consistently delivering value. No exceptions. Our team maintains the mindset that with each transaction we start back at zero.

A mixing valve is a device that combines two or more fluid streams at different temperatures to produce a mixed stream at a desired temperature. Mixing valves are commonly used in plumbing systems to regulate water temperature for showers, baths, and other applications.

Ball float steam traps have two types. One is that transmits buoyancy of the float to the valve via a lever (lever float type), and the other has no lever and the float itself acts as a valve at the same time (lever-free type).

Thermodynamic steam traps use the characteristics of hydrodynamics and thermodynamics based on the difference in flow rate between steam and condensate to operate the valve. The most typical trap type is the disc type, in which a space called a transformer chamber is provided on the upper side of a disk-shaped metal plate (disk), and fluid pressure is received on the opposite side of the disk. When discharging condensate, it fills the pressure chamber with a part of condensate and flash steam, and when the incoming pressure become higher than the pressure received when steam starts to pass the lower side of disc, the valve is closed. When the steam in the pressure chamber is condensed and the pressure become lower than the received pressure at the underside of disc, the valve is opened again.

The disc type of steam traps has simple structure, with the only moving part being the the disc. It is compact, has no limit on install direction, and is inexpensive. For this reason, it is the most widely used type among steam traps.

Mixing valves typically have separate inputs for hot and cold water and a control mechanism that allows the user to adjust the temperature of the mixed water output. In addition, these valves may use mechanical or electronic controls to maintain a constant temperature and include safety features to prevent scalding or overheating.

However, disadvantages are that the timing of valve opening and closing may be highly affected by weather and temperature and it makes a loud operating noise.

The main difference between a TMV and a standard mixing valve is that a TMV has a temperature-sensing element that detects the temperature of the water flowing through it. This sensing element allows the TMV to automatically adjust the flow of hot and cold water to maintain a constant temperature, even if there are fluctuations in the incoming water temperatures or changes in the water pressure.

The other type of thermodynamic steam traps is the impulse system which creates flow inside the steam traps by leaking a minute amount of steam, thus opening the valve by the impulse force of condensate density. It may be convenient to view the orifice type as a steam trap, but it consists of only an osculum and a path called labyrinth. Thus, it is merely a device based on steam traps without the function of “steam trapping”.

Mixing valves are often used in commercial and industrial settings where precise control of water temperature is required, such as in hospitals, schools, and manufacturing facilities. They can also be used in residential settings to improve energy efficiency and reduce water waste by delivering water at a consistent temperature.

As will be described in the next section, ball float steam traps have the mechanism in which a float rises and open the valve when condensate fills the body. Bucket type traps have a mechanism that opens the valve when the bucket sinks due to the inflow of condensate.

Webstone offers a wide array of mixing valves and accessories for various applications and system requirements. Webstone Thermostatic Mixing Valves (TMVs) can be used in most water distribution systems to ensure fluid is delivered at the appropriate temperature. With seven end connections and optional G1 union temperature gauge and isolation valves, TMVs can be customized for any installation. TMVs are available in four temperature ranges with seven end connection options.

A TMV typically has separate inputs for hot and cold water and a mixing chamber where the two streams are combined. Inside the mixing chamber, a thermostatic element expands or contracts in response to changes in temperature. This element is connected to a valve that controls the flow of hot and cold water to produce a mixed stream at a desired temperature.

Moreover, the fact that the steam trap discharges a small quantity of steam just before the valve is closed can be considered a disadvantage in terms of energy saving.

Steam traps are classified as mechanical traps, thermostatic traps and thermodynamic traps based on the basic operating principle of the valves. In addition, each type of steam traps can be further divided into subtypes in table 2.2, depending on how each basic operating principle is embodied.

Temperature control steam traps can set and change the operating temperature freely in advance, which marks them apart from other thermostatic steam traps.

Thermostatic mixing valve for water heater

The main advantage of a TMV over a standard mixing valve is that it provides more consistent and precise water temperature control, which is essential in many applications where the water temperature can affect comfort, safety, or hygiene.

Steam traps have various models and features. Suitable steam traps can be selected when it is determined whether each feature suits the condition of use.

Mechanical steam traps use the difference in specific gravity between steam and condensate, to operate a valve with the buoyancy of a float.

A thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) is a type of mixing valve designed to control and maintain a constant water temperature accurately, typically in applications where hot water is mixed with cold water to provide a comfortable temperature for showers, baths, and other uses.

Mechanical traps consist of two types, one operates with sealed spherical float, and another operates with bucket that is an open float. The former is called the float type, and the latter is called the bucket type. There are two types of bucket type, upward bucket type and downward bucket type. But nowadays most of them are the downward bucket type.

In this way, the TMV can maintain a constant output temperature even if there are fluctuations in the supply temperature or flow rate of the hot and cold water inputs. This helps to prevent scalding or discomfort due to sudden changes in water temperature.

In contrast, a standard mixing valve has no temperature-sensing element and relies on manual adjustments to control the water temperature. This means that the temperature of the water coming out of the valve may be affected by changes in the water pressure or incoming water temperatures, which can result in fluctuations in the water temperature.

If the temperature of the hot water input increases or decreases, the thermostatic element will respond by adjusting the valve to reduce or increase the flow of hot water, respectively. Similarly, if the temperature of the cold water input increases or decreases, the thermostatic element will adjust the valve to increase or reduce the cold water flow, respectively.
