Water Vortex Mixing Valve

Because of the unique vortex flow characteristics inside the STVM valve, it is capable of mixing steam and water without the usual noise and vibration associated with other types of mixers. As a safety feature, the thermal actuator in the valve outlet is designed to turn off the steam flow into the valve if the cold water flow into the valve is interrupted. The entire internal operating mechanism (AKA cartridge) of the STVM valve can be quickly and easily removed as a single assembly by simply unscrewing the valve cap. This allows easy cleaning and service without removing the valve from the line. The unique flow characteristics of the vortices inside the valve create a scouring action that together with special coatings on the cartridge element minimize the effects of mineral deposits on valve operation, assuring increased service life even under adverse conditions.
