Data sheet AVTB-RA, Reverse Acting
Thermostatic Water Valve
Applications:
AVTB-RA is a reverse acting thermostatic
temperature controller used to regulate
the water temperature where cooling is
required. As the water temperature rises the
thermostatic controller opens.
Typical applications could involve:
• Injection molding machines
• Compressors
• Vacuum pumps
• Dry cleaning machines
The thermostatic controller is a three part
assembly consisting of the valve body, the
thermostatic element and an adjustment
assembly.
Features:
• For water
• Self-acting
• Opens on rising temperature
• Can be tted in the supply or return
• Pressure range PN 16 (232 psi/16 bar)
Typical Application:

AVTB-RA, Reverse Acting
Thermostatic Water Valve
AVTB-RA 25
1. By means of the curves for heating or cooling with water the necessary amount of cooling
water is detected to be 8.8 gpm at ΔT= 7°F (84-77 = 7°F)
AVTB-RA 20
AVTB-RA 15
3. By means of the bar chart the AVTB-RA
20 is the appropriate valve size for the
application.
Temperature range: 77 to 150°F. Code no.
003N7252RA will meet the requirements
Due to the mounting conditions a sensor
pocket is required. The ¾” brass sensor
pocket, code no. AVTBWELL is selected.
2. In order to obtain an eective regulation, the pressure drop across the valve should be half
the entire pressure drop: 28psi (2bar) / 2= 14.22psi (1 bar). By means of the curves for the
water amount and pressure drop the necessary Cv value is detected to be 2.3 US gpm.

The valve can normally be tted in the supply
or return, in any position, provided the ow is
always in the direction indicated by the arrow.
Elements with a small sensor Ø 0.4” (9.5 mm)
(“sensor warmer”) must always have the valve
housing tted in the return.
