ation
ÎSee Fig.3-1
Type1/Type4: the valve closes as the medi-
um temperature rises and when the tempera-
ture rises above the adjusted set point.
Type4u: the valve opens as the medium tem-
perature rises and when the temperature ris-
es above the adjusted set point.
The temperature regulators consist of the
valve (1), thermostat (temperature sensor)
(19) and capillary tube (11).
The valve mainly consists of the body with
seat (2), plug (3) and plug stem (5). Depend-
ing on the application, different thermostats
can be attached to the valve.
The thermostat comprises the temperature
sensor (19), set point adjuster (12.2), capil-
lary tube (11) and operating element (8).
The temperature regulators operate accord-
ing to the liquid expansion principle. When,
for example the temperature at the tempera-
ture sensor (19) increases, the liquid con-
tained in the sensor expands, causing the pin
(9) of the operating element to be pushed up-
ward by the bellows (10). During this pro-
cess, the pin pushes the plug stem (5) togeth-
er with the plug (3) towards the valve seat as
the temperature at the sensor continues to
rise until the valve is fully closed.
The Type1 Temperature Regulator is
equipped with an unbalanced valve. In con-
trast, Type4 has a valve balanced by a met-
al bellows (4.1).
In this case, the upstream pressure is trans-
ferred through the hole in the plug stem to
the outer surface of the bellows and the
downstream pressure to the inside of the bel-
lows.
As a result, the forces acting on the plug are
balanced out and the valve is fully balanced.
Consequently,anypressurechangesinthe
process medium do not affect the position of
the valve plug.
The Type4u Temperature Regulator acts in
the reverse direction and is used in plants for
cooling. Its principle of operation is reverse
to that of the standard version, i.e. the valve
opens when the temperature at the sensor
rises. To achieve this, a reversing device is
installed between the valve and the operat-
ingelementinType4u.
The set point can be adjusted at the set point
adjuster (12.2) using the key (12.1). By turn-
ing the key, a spindle moves the piston (18)
up or down. The resulting change in volume
in the sensor (19) causes the valve plug to
travel according to the adjusted set point
within a higher or lower temperature range
measured by the sensor.
Version with safety thermostat
WhenaType2212orType2213Safety
Thermostat is attached to the valve or the
regulator, this combination functions as a
safety temperature limiter (TR/STL) or a safe-
ty temperature monitor (TR/STM).
