In-service Test Procedure

Note!
All measurements should be recorded in the Thermostatic 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
1. Measure & record supply temperatures and
pressures,
if possible (see Commissioning 4.2(a)).
5. Check/replace check valves (see
Maintenance Procedure - Checkvalve
Cartridges)
2. Measure & record blend temperature & flow rate
@ maximum flow (see Commissioning 4.2(b)).
3. Measure & record blend temperature & flow rate
@ minimum flow (see Commissioning 4.2(c)).
Has mixed water
temperature changed by
more than 1K?
4. Check/clean strainers (see
Maintenance Procedure - Inlet
Strainers)
9. Isolate CW supply (see Commissioning 4.2(d))
6. Check/open isolating valves
7. Re-set & record blend temp. (see
Commissioning - Maximum
Temperature Setting)
Is max. blend temp.>2K
above previous recorded
value?
Is final blend temp.
> 2K above set blend temp?
11. Replace cartridge (see Maintenance
Procedure - Radatherm Cartridge)
8. Ensure supply temperatures & pressures and flow
rate at time of test are within valve specification (see
Operating Parameters). Record all these.
10. Measure & record max. & final blend temps. (see
Commissioning 4.2(e))
12. Carry out Commissioning procedure
(see Commissioning Checks)
