  2. Thermostatic mixing valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostatic_mixing_valve

    The storage of water at high temperature removes one possible breeding ground for Legionella; the use of a thermostat, rather than a static mixing valve, provides increased safety against scalding, and increased user comfort, because the hot-water temperature remains constant. [1] Many TMVs use a wax thermostat for regulation. They also shut ...

    Thermostatic mixing valve; Thermostatic radiator valve; Thermal shut off valve or Thermally released shut off valve, protects against excessive temperature, mandatory in the gas installation of some countries; Trap primer: sometimes include other types of valves, or are valves themselves

  4. Wax motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wax_motor

    A wax motor is a linear actuator device that converts thermal energy into mechanical energy by exploiting the phase-change behaviour of waxes. [1] During melting, wax typically expands in volume by 5–20% (Freund et al. 1982).

  5. Thermostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat

    A thermostatic mixing valve uses a wax pellet to control the mixing of hot and cold water. A common application is to permit operation of an electric water heater at a temperature hot enough to kill Legionella bacteria (above 60 °C, 140 °F), while the output of the valve produces water that is cool enough to not immediately scald (49 °C, 120 ...

  6. Control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_valve

    A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller. [1] This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure, temperature, and liquid level.
