Temperature control for steam heating
Thread Content
A steam coil is used to heat the water in the tank; what method is employed to automatically control the water temperature?
At the inlet of the steam pipeline, automatic control valves are used for regulation, while at the outlet, steam traps together with bypass systems are employed for control. The control valves are automatically regulated in response to the temperature of the water tank.
Could you be more specific? What model of automatic control valve?
For example, using Fisher’s pneumatic V-ball valve allows for proportional control. For precise control, cascade control using the temperature in the water tank and the temperature of the coil steam is also available.
Upstairs, could you recommend some domestic options? Fisher’s are too expensive. Can solenoid valves be used?
Solenoid valves won’t work, unless you have very low requirements for temperature control accuracy, such as within plus or minus 20 degrees
Could you recommend domestic pneumatic models, including the model numbers and manufacturers?
