Theory!of!Operation
Steamix!203!produces!hot!water!by!mixing!steam!with!cold!water.!!The!hot!water!temperature!is!variable!from
cold!to!almost!boiling!by!rotating!the!temperature!regulating!lever!counter-clockwise.!!If!desired,!the!temperature
can!be!locked!at!a!pre-selected!level!by!removing!the!temperature!regulating!lever!and!further!secured!by
installing!Part!No.!042!tamper!resistant!locking!Set.!(See!page!22.)
Inlet!water!pressure!activates!the!mixing!valve!allowing!steam!to!heat!the!water.!!The!valve!requires!a!minimum
inlet!water!pressure!of!20!psig!(1.4!bar)!to!open!the!steam!inlet.!!This!method!of!operation!provides!a!built-in
safety!feature!where!the!mixing!valve!automatically!shuts!off!the!steam!supply!when!a!water!supply!failure!or!a
pressure!reduction!below!20!psi!(1.4!bar)!occurs.
The!following!diagrams!illustrate!the!mixing!valveís!method!of!operation.
Figure!5-1.!!With!the!outlet!closed!and!no!flow,!the!water
pressures!on!either!side!of!the!diaphragm!are!equal.!This
allows!the!spring!to!hold!the!poppet!valve!on!its!seat
thereby!preventing!steam!flow.
Figure!5-2.!!Opening!the!outlet!allows!water!to!begin!to!flow.!!When!a
minimum!differential!pressure!of!7!psi!(.5!bar)!develops!across!the
diaphragm*,!the!diaphragm!lifts!from!its!resting!position!and!pushes!the
poppet!valve!off!the!steam!seat!allowing!steam!to!flow.!!By!allowing!steam
to!flow!only!when!inlet!water!flow!is!present,!the!operator!is!protected!from
accidental!exposure!to!live!steam!should!the!water!supply!fail.!The!poppet
valve!is!resisted!by!the!temperature!control!lever!which!allows!more!or!less
steam!into!the!mix!for!higher!or!lower!outlet!temperatures!as!adjusted.
*a!minimum!of!20!psi!(14.4!bar)!water!pressure!is!required!to!lift!the
!!diaphragm.
Figure!5-3.!!Closing!the!outlet!valve!increases!back
pressure.!!When!the!differential!pressure!across!the
diaphragm!becomes!less!than!7!psi!(.5!bar)!or!the!water
pressure!is!reduced!below!20!psi!(1.4!bar)!the!spring
pushes!the!poppet!valve!closed,!shutting!off!the!steam!flow
and!the!diaphragm!returns!to!its!resting!position.

! Minimum!Steam!/!Water!pressure:20!psig!(1.4!bar)
! Maximum!Steam!/!Water!pressure: 150!psig!(10!bar)
The!STEAMIX!203!produces!hot!water!at!its!outlet!by!mixing!steam!with!cold!water.!!This!process!uses!the
direct!relationship:
-the!greater!the!steam!pressure,!the!greater!the!temperature!rise!(rT)!of!the!outlet!water
-the!greater!the!steam!pressure,!the!greater!the!flow!rate!obtained!on!reaching!the!desired!operating
temperature.
In!situations!where!only!very!low!steam!pressure!is!available!the!mixing!valve!will!still!function!properly!but!a
large!reduction!in!the!outlet!flow!rate!will!occur.
Optimum!performance!occurs!when!steam!is!in!the!50!-!75!psig!(3.3-5!bar)!range!and!the!water!pressure!is
50-75!psig!(3.3-5!bar).
Steam!supply!lines!must!be!adequately!sized!to!deliver!a!sufficient!volume!of!steam.

Steam!Consumption
To!approximate!the!amount!of!steam!consumed!during!operation!proceed!as!follows:
1. Measure,!calculate!or!approximate!the!outlet!hot!water!flow!from!Steamix.!!Review!the!flow!charts!on!Page!7
but!be!sure!to!acknowledge!the!presence!of!any!outlet!fitting!such!as!a!Spray!Nozzle*!at!the!end!of!a
Washdown!Hose!in!a!Hose!Station!application.
*For!approximation!purposes!use!7!GPM!to!rate!the!Spray!Nozzle.
2. Note!the!inlet!cold!water!temperature!(T1)!and!desired!outlet!hot!water!temperature!(T2)!and!establish!the
Temperature!Rise!based!upon!the!differential!(T2-T1).
3. Apply!the!following!formula.
Lbs!per!Hour!=!GPM/2!X!(T2-T1)

so!that!the!strainer!screen!traps!debris.
2. If!widely!fluctuating!steam!pressure!is!a
common!occurrence,!a!pressure!regulator
set!to!the!lowest!pressure!encountered
should!be!installed!a!minimum!of!six!feet
upstream!from!the!mixing!valve.
3. It!is!recommended!a!steam!trap!be!installed
on!the!steam!supply!piping!upstream!of
Steamix!203!to evacuate!or!return!the
condensate.!Trap!should!be!installed!at!least
6!feet!away!but!no!greater!than!15!feet!away
from!the!inlet!of!Steamix!203!where!possible.
4. Inlet!check!valves.
5.!!Unions.
Start-Up!Procedures
Prior!to!operating!the!valve,!the!outlet!temperature!must!first!be!set!within!the!required!operating!parameters!as
specified!by!plant!management.
The!available!temperature!range!of!the!mixing!valve!is!from!ambient!inlet!water!temperature!to!almost!boiling.
To!set!the!mixing!valve!to!the!required!temperature:
1. Turn!the!temperature!regulating!lever!clockwise!as!far!as!it!will!go!to
close!the!steam!inlet.!(This!may!take!several!revolutions.)
2. Remove!the!water!flow!regulator!locking!cap!using!a!3/32"!Hex!Key!to
loosen!the!set!screw!located!at!the!base!of!the!cap.!Fully!open!the!cold
water!regulator!by!turning!it!counter-clockwise.!The!mixing!valve!is!now
in!the!full!cold!position.
3. Open!the!inlet!flow!control!valve(s)!and!spray!nozzle!(if!installed)!so!that!maximum!flow!is!achieved.
4. Turn!the!temperature!regulating!lever!counter-clockwise!until!the!desired!temperature!is!obtained.
5. If!the!desired!temperature!is!not!reached!when!the!temperature!control!lever!is!fully!open,!turn!the!water
flow!regulator!clockwise!until!the!required!temperature!is!achieved.
6. Replace!the!water!flow!regulator!locking!cap.
7. The!mixing!valve!is!now!set!so!that!it!can!be!adjusted!from!its!maximum!temperature!to!cold!by!moving
only!the!temperature!regulating!lever.

10
Most!wash!down!procedures!benefit!from!the!operatorís!ability!to!vary!the!temperature!as!required.!!However,
the!temperature!regulating!lever!can!be!removed!and/or!a!tamper!resistant!"Lock!Set"!(optionally!available!part
#!042)!may!be!installed!to!prevent!further!temperature!adjustment.
Instruct!all!operators!not!to!tamper!with!the!water!flow!restrictor.
