RAE 2000 Thermostatic Operator
Application:
RAE 8254 |
RAE 8256 |
Technical
Specifications:
The RAE 2000 series of thermostatic operators are designed for use in residential hot water and low pressure steam heating systems. This nonelectric self-actuating proportional controller provides effective regulation of temperature within the space.
RAE 2000 operators are equipped with a tool free snap on lock mechanism that allows mounting of the operator to the RA2000 series of valve bodies.
Incorporated into the RAE operator are features that include a ‘Freeze Protection Setting’. For the RAE 8256 which utilizes a remote sensor, a 6ft (2m) ultra-thin capillary tube is coiled within the remote sensor housing. After the operator has been mounted the capillary tube is pulled out to the required length.

Design: |
The RAE thermostatic operator operates with a |
|
liquid filled bellows system, which is actuated by |
|
ambient temperature changes. |
|
The calibrated pressure in the bellows corresponds |
|
to the temperature. This pressure is balanced by |
|
the force of a regulating spring. |
|
On a rise in ambient temperature, the pressure |
|
increases in the bellows, moving the valve cone |
towards the ‘closed’ position, until equilibrium exists between the bellows and spring.
On a drop in ambient temperature, the pressure falls, allowing the bellows to contract and the valve cone to move towards the ‘open’ position until a state of equilibrium is re-established.
