3-Way and 4-Way Mixing Valves
ESBE Type F valves are ideal for mixing or diverting applications in heating and cooling systems. The mixing proportions are adjusted manually or controlled by the means of a motorized actuator that receives an input signal from a reset controller or DDC system. The scale is graduated on both sides and can be turned, allowing a choice of mounting positions.
Features and benefits
Rotary design allows for flexibility in field piping layouts.
Double mixing function for 4-way valve, reduces the risk of condensation within the heat source.
Valve position face plate is printed on both sides and can be rotated allowing a choice of valve mounting positions.
Easily adaptable with the following ESBE motorized actuators:
- 90 Series (electronic)
- ARC/ARD Series.
Suitable fluid of 100% water or glycol mixture (maximum 50% glycol) for heating or cooling closed loop systems.
Products
Ideal for mixing or diverting applications in heating and cooling systems. The required system temperature is obtained by adding a suitable portion of return water to the boiler flow. The mixing proportions are adjusted manually or, in automatically controlled applications, by means of an actuator (driven from a reset controller or DDC system). The scale is graduated on both sides and can be turned, allowing a choice of mounting positions.
Designed for use in commercial or residential heating and cooling systems, to control and distribute water or non-corrosive liquids to different zones. The ESBE four-way valve features a double mixing function. When hot water from the boiler is mixed with the return water, the temperature of the returned water rises (higher than can be achieved with a 3- way valve), reducing the risk of condensation and assuring a longer boiler life. The mixing proportions can be adjusted manually, or in automatically controlled applications, by means of a control actuator. The scale is graduated on both sides and can be turned, allowing a choice of mounting positions.
Sets for use with ESBE F Series 4-way mixing valves.
