Solarmix Thermostatic Mixing Valve Storing energy from the sun in the form of hot water, can lead to water arriving at the taps at higher than normal temperatures. In some cases, the cylinder maximum store temperature can be raised to as high as 80C, which if delivered through a tap or any outlet, would present a severe danger of possible scalding.  The Solar Thermostatic Mixing valve is designed to temper the water temperature to a safer level. Unlike the under basin, or bath/shower type valves we are familiar with on the market, the Solarmix is designed to function continuously at high temperatures, something a standard TMV2 valve could not cope with. Fitted close to the HW outlet from the cylinder, the Solarmix blends the high temperature hot water with cold, to provide safe water supplies. Flow rates are also greater on these valves and are suitable for use on pressurised systems (please note though, they may not be suitable for use on some LP gravity DHWS). Note - Solar Thermostatic Mixing valves should not be installed instead of TMV2 or TMV3 valves, and are used in a different context to these valves. Further details...Solarmix Thermostatic Group Mixers Solar heating system valves are used in systems for the production of domestic hot water. They are designed to maintain the set temperature of mixed water supplied to the user when there are variations in the temperature and pressure conditions of the incoming hot and cold water or in the flow rate.  This particular series of mixing valves can function continuously at the high temperatures of the incoming hot water from the solar storage tank. Note - Solar Thermostatic Mixing valves should not be installed instead of TMV2 or TMV3 valves, and are used in a different context to these valves. Further details... |
