The most prominent feature of the steam electric automatic temperature regulating valve is that it only requires a common 220V power supply and utilizes the inherent energy of the medium being regulated to directly and automatically adjust and control the temperature of media such as steam, hot water, hot oil, and gas. It can also be used in situations where overheating or heat exchange needs to be prevented. This valve boasts a simple structure, easy operation, a wide range of temperature adjustment options, fast response time, reliable sealing performance, and the ability to be adjusted freely during operation. Therefore, it is widely used in hot water supply in various sectors such as chemical, petroleum, food, textile, hotel, and restaurant industries.
The regulating valve consists of three parts: the main valve, the intelligent actuator, and the sensor. Depending on user needs, it comes in two structures: heating type and cooling type.
Before operation, the main valve core of the steam electric (automatic) temperature regulating valve is in a half-open position, and the sensor is in a natural state. When the power is turned on, the main valve core is fully opened. The medium flows into the main valve body from the direction indicated by the arrow and heats the thermal storage tank through the valve core. When the temperature rises to the corresponding set value, the sensor generates a corresponding linear signal to the integrated intelligent actuator, which then drives the valve rod and valve core to displace, closing the main valve core to stop heating. When the temperature is lower than the set value, the sensor generates a linear signal to the actuator, driving the valve core to gradually open, allowing the medium to flow into the thermal storage tank according to a parabolic characteristic, and heat it until it reaches the set value. In this way, the controlled medium is always controlled within the set temperature range, thus achieving temperature control.
