CASH VALVES™
TYPE LTC CRYOGENIC REVERSE ACTING TEMPERATURE REGULATOR
INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
DESCRIPTION
The Type LTC Temperature Control Valve
is a double-port valve with a range of
0 to -40°F (-17 to -40°C) for low temperature
cut-off. As it is subject to ambient temperature
under normal conditions, it will normally
be in a wide-open position. A copper well is
recommended for each installation, which
allows the removal of the capillary bulb without
depressurizing the system.
Note:
Valve seat closure may take several seconds
under normal operating conditions. In addition,
Type LTC fails in the closed position. Type LTC is not
intended to be bubble tight on closing. It is only meant
to drastically reduce flow on sensing temperature
based on set.

Operating temperature range is
0 to -40°F (-17 to -40°C); standard setting is
-20°F (-28°C). Maximum temperature limit is
300°F (208°C); minimum temperature limit
is -320°F (-195°C). Maximum body pressure
on all sizes is 400 psi (27.5 bar); however,
for proper operation, maximum pressure
differentials as shown on page 3 must
be observed.
