Description
The thermostatic mixing valve is installed on R156 or R156-1 domestic sanitary installations in order to achieve energy saving, greater comfort of use of hot water, elimination of the risk of burns caused by excessive operating temperatures.
It can be positioned in the boiler room on the rising pipes of sanitary hot water, nearby boiler or storage boilers, or in the distribution boxes in case of removable sanitary systems with manifolds. It is very important to install the mixing valve on the downstream to storage tanks in solar heating systems installations where the temperature of the storage tanks, especially in summer, could reach very high values, well above the temperatures to ordinary use. The wax bulb, immersed in the mixed flow, assisted by a balanced spring system, can ensure the maintenance of the required mixed temperature value, with rapid shifts of few millimeter tenths effected depending on the temperature change of the hot and cold supply waters.
