Application
TM50 thermostatic mixing valves provide control of the water temperature and are used:
•For centralised control on hot water supply units or for localised control adjacent to point-use outlets. Or for use with solar-heated hot water units with dual energy source.
•In heating systems with underfloor heating or for limiting boiler return temperatures.
Where a system includes a hot water circulation circuit, a KB191 return flow retarder unit (see accessories) must be fitted to prevent cold water backfeeding and cooling the mixed water at the outlets.
Special Features
•Highly sensitive thermal element with good all-round water temperature sensing, even at low flow rates
•Simple setting of the required water temperature
•Scald protection - the hot water inlet is automatically cut off if the cold supply fails provided that the hot water inlet temperature is at least 10 K higher than that of mixed water setting
•The cold water inlet is automatically cut off if the hot supply fails
•Inner components are of scale-resistant materials
•Complies with KTW requirements

Method of Operation
a) As a mixing valve for hot water supply and heating systems:
The highly sensitive thermal element located in the outlet of the valve controls a plug which regulates the flow proportions of cold and hot water in relation to the mixed hot water setting selected. Soft seatings are fitted to both hot and cold water inlets.
They provide:
•A positive hot inlet shutoff if the cold water supply is interrupted, provided that the hot water inlet temperature is at least 10 K higher than that of the mixed water setting.
•The cold water supply is cut off if the hot water supply is interrupted.
b) As a diverter valve on central heating systems:
For this application flow through the valve is in the reverse direction compared with its use as a hot water mixing valve. The inlet water passes around the sensing element and regulates the control piston so that for temperatures above the set value the water is returned to the heating circuit and for temperatures lower than the set value the water is diverted to the boiler.
