Valves
COOLING VALVE
EKV 20
Areas of use
The EKV valves are designed for use in refrigera-
tion plants, induction or fan coil units where the
flow of cold water through the heat exchangers
can be regulated to obtain constant differentiated
temperatures in different parts of the building.
Function
The sensor medium of a thermostat component
expands with rising temperature. The expansion
is transmitted to the valve spindle and conus,
opening the valve to permit flow of coolant. A
return spring in the valve body closes the valve
when the pressure on the spindle is relieved. The
valve will be balanced so that the plug comes to
rest in a given position, passing a given flow of
coolant. Any change in the temperature at the
sensor bulb causes a change in the position of the
plug and thus increases or reduces the flow. The
desired temperature is set by adjusting the regula-
tion knob on the thermostat.
