In-service Test Procedure

Figure 11

Note!

All measurements should be recorded in the Thermoscopic Mixing Valve

Performance Record (Log Book)

Note! 

K = Kelvin, the unit of thermodynamic temperature. The unit "Kelvin" is equal

to the unit of "Degree Celsius". Kelvin is used for a difference of Celsius
temperature.

Start

Are critical

components due
for replacement?

2. If valve not in recent use exercise thermostat.

(See Commissioning)

No

3. Measure & record blend temperature & flow rate

@ maximum flow (See Commissioning).

Has mixed water

temperature changed by

more than 1K?

4. Measure & record blend temperature & flow rate

@ minimum flow (see Commissioning).

Yes

Yes

5. Check/clean strainers (See

Maintenance Procedure - Inlet

Strainers).

7. Check/open isolating valves.

6. Check/replace check valves (See

Maintenance Procedure - Check

valve Cartridges).

8. Re-set & record blend temp.(See

Commissioning - Maximum

Temperature Setting).

9. Ensure supply temperatures & pressures and flow

rate at time of test are within valve specification (See

Operating Parameters). Record all these.

No

10. Isolate CW supply (See Commissioning).

11.Measure & record max & final blend temp. (See

Commissioning).

Is max. Blend temp. >2K

above previous recorded

value?

Is final blend temp.

>2K above set blend temp?

12. Replace thermoscopic unit and,

if necessary, other critical parts.

13. Carry out Commissioning procedure

(See Commissioning Checks).

Yes

Yes

No

No

Finish

1. Measure & record supply temperature and

pressures, if possible (See Commissioning).
