Inline temperature control valve TV/HAT

Inline temperature control valve TV/HAT

Product catalog summary
Overview: The TV/HAT In-Line Temperature Control Valve by ThermOmegaTech is designed to eliminate live steam losses and operates without external power or signals. It features a downstream thermal actuator for enhanced sensitivity and is unaffected by pressure variations, allowing it to function in any position. The valve is easy to install and offers a wide range of set-points.
Benefits: The valve includes an exclusive Thermoloid® thermal actuator and is constructed with stainless steel components for durability and corrosion resistance. Its compact design ensures a fast response, and the ram-type plug provides a reliable shutoff. The valve operates within a narrow temperature band, ensuring precise control.
Design Features: The TV/HAT valve is temperature-responsive, modulating flow to maintain a constant condensate discharge temperature. It is fully open at startup for rapid venting and heat-up and self-drains after shutdown to prevent freeze damage. This design is particularly beneficial for heating temperature-sensitive instruments or process fluids, as it prevents overheating and improves efficiency.
Operation: Ideal for use with tracer tubing and tracing systems, the TV/HAT valve replaces conventional steam traps in various applications, including winterization tracing and condensate return system freeze protection. It ensures process samples remain below maximum allowable temperatures, protecting sensitive equipment from damage.
Applications: The valve is suitable for processes under 150°F (66°C) and other applications requiring in-line flow control based on temperature. It is particularly useful in scenarios where excessively hot samples could damage hardware and electronics.
Ordering Notes: The valve is available in various full open temperatures ranging from 40°F to 200°F, with closing temperatures typically 10°F above opening temperatures. Standard fittings are Parker A-LOK, with Swagelok fittings as an alternative. Seal materials include EPDM and Viton, each compatible with different substances.
Parts & Materials: The valve components are primarily made from 300 Series Stainless Steel, with options for EPDM or Viton sealing O-rings. The valve dimensions and capacities vary slightly based on tube size, with a maximum operating pressure of 300 PSIG and a temperature range up to 300°F.

Inline temperature control valve TV/HAT-1

IN-LINE TEMPERATURE CONTROL VALVE • Eliminates live steam losses • Self-operating, no power or signal required • Downstream thermal actuator for greater sensitivity • Unaffected by pressure variations • Wide choice of set-points DESIGN FEATURES • Exclusive Thermoloid® thermal actuator • Stainless steel body, fittings, spring and plug • Compact, low mass - fast response • Corrosion resistant - long service life • Ram-type plug for tight reliable shutoff • Operates in narrow temperature band TV/HAT (Tube Valve/Heat Actuated Trap) valves are ideal for use in conjunction with tracer tubing and tracing systems using pre-traced tubing bundles. TV/HAT valves replace conventional steam traps on winterization tracing, instrument tracing, condensate return system freeze protection, tracing for processes under 150°F (66°C), and other applications requiring in-line flow control based on temperature. Excessively hot samples can cause damage to expensive and sensitive hardware and electronics. For process analyzers and similar instrumentation, it is important to assure that the process samples fluids are always below the maximum allowable temperature for such instruments. Sample coolers are commonly used to reduce sample temperatures to the acceptable limits. In the event of a loss of cooling fluid to the sample cooler, or if the desired sample temperature is exceeded for any reason, the TV/HAT valve will close to prevent equipment damage. The TV/HAT valve responds only to temperature. After condensate forms and cools to near the set-point, the TV/HAT valve modulates the flow to maintain a constant condensate discharge temperature. TV/HAT valves are wide open at start-up for rapid venting and initial heat-up. TV/HAT valves are self-draining after shutdown, to eliminate freeze damage. For heating of temperature sensitive instruments or process fluids, the reduced temperature available for tracing simplifies operations and eliminates overheating problems. For other heat transfer fluids, TV/HAT valves maintain a constant discharge temperature, thus providing benefits of accurate process temperature control and improved efficiency.
