Function

The thermostatic mixer is used in solar thermal systems

producing domestic hot water. Its function is to maintain the

temperature of the mixed water supplied to the user constant at

the set value when there are variations in the supply conditions

of the incoming hot and cold water. This particular series of

mixing

valves

can

function

continuously

at

the

high

temperatures of incoming hot water from the solar storage tank.

The valve has been specifically certified to ASSE 1017.
