Thermostatic operated water valve
Opens on rising sensor temperature
Thermostatic operated water valve type WVTS
is suitable for controlling the temperature of a
ow of water or neutral brine.
WVTS opens on rising sensor temperature and
is indirect servo operated thermostatic valve.
It is suitable for controlling temperature in
industrial applications by regulating the
quantity of cooling water or neutral brine that
cools down the process.
The valves are self-acting, i.e. they operate
without the supply of auxiliary energy such as
electricity or compressed air.
The required temperature is maintained
constant without unnecessary use of cooling
water in cooling systems.
The operating economy and-eciency are
maximized.
Features:
• Insensitive to dirt
• Insensitive to water pulsating pressure
• Proven reliable through decades
• Easy to service
• Built-in pilot lter
• Long lifetime
• High performance
• Very high capacity
• Both welding and thread connection anges

Technical data

Valves are supplied with capillary tube gland. Dierent lengths of capillary tube are available.
If WVTS is required with an opening dierential pressure of 1 – 10 bar, the valve servo spring must be replaced. See
The valve body is made of cast iron with pressed-in bronze seat. The pilot orice assembly (7) consists of a housing
with seat and pilot cone of stainless steel. A lter cartridge (20) is built into the valve cover. Here the equalising
orice is protected by a replaceable lter.
The bellows in the bellows element (3) are of tin bronze. In designing WVTS, great emphasis was placed on
producing a valve with a completely tight seat and no external leakage. The servo piston was therefore tted with a
ring of special rubber that creates an elastic seal against the valve seat.
A specially designed rubber sleeve ensures that the servo piston moves in the cylinder with minimum friction.
External valve leakage is prevented at the pilot cone where the spindle is tted with Teon cupwashers. Cover
gaskets and pilot channel seals are rubber.
The water-tight rubber seal between cover (6a) and housing (6) ensure that moisture cannot enter and freeze up the
spindle. The insulating washer (10) prevents heat transmission between valve body and setting element housing.
The capacity curves show the capacity (water quantity in [m3/h]) of the individual valve sizes as a function of
pressure drop across the valve.
The capacities are given for approx. 85% valve opening and are obtained with an oset of 4 °C (temperature rise at
sensor) on both upper and lower temperature ranges.
Installation
Valve installation:
WVTS is to be tted in the cooling water inlet with ow in the direction of the arrow and with the bellows element
facing upwards. Horizontal mounting is a must.
Sensor / bulb installation:
The bulb is to be tted where it is required to maintain or control the water temperature.
The bulb can be tted warmer or colder than the valve body, with no eect on the regulating capacity.
The bulb must be tted horizontally or with the blank end of the bulb at the lowest level.
The capitals UP and the red line on the bulb must face upwards at horizontal or inclined tting.
The Kv value is the ow quantity of water in [m3/h] with a pressure drop across the valve of 1 bar, p =1000 kg/m3.
