Function
The thermostatic mixer is used in solar thermal systems
producing domestic hot water. Its function is to maintain the
temperature of the mixed water supplied to the user constant at
the set value when there are variations in the supply conditions
of the incoming hot and cold water. This particular series of
mixing valves can function continuously at the high
temperatures of incoming hot water from the solar storage tank.
The valve has been specifically certified to ASSE 1017.
Product range
