General Information

A thermally activated valve provides reliable, automated, and non electric solutions for control through thermal expansion. In real-time our thermal valves monitor temperature within applied systems and perform the tasks of port diverting, mixing, and or port modulation. Our thermal valves can also be paired with pressure regulating features if required. Some of our valves require a housing / manifold while others are self contained in a simple multi-port body. If the valve you need requires a manifold Vernatherm by Vernet will ensure maximum performance through machining a manifold specifically for your needs; see more on manifolds here.

Thermal valve performance

Like our thermal actuators, Our patented high performance expansion material and willingness to blend you any temperature you want sets separates us from our competitors. With our actuators inside your valve you are in complete control over what temperature range the your valves perform at and to what degree. Every valve we design is for the customer and to the customer's specifications.

Customization

Please keep in mind that the products on this page reflect example valves that may not fit directly into your application and will require modifications; this is normal and is to be expected. We can accommodate any fastening method you need from standard threads (metric or imperial), to custom designs. Our 5 axis CNC machining ability enables us to machine exactly what you need without compromise.

Thermal Valves - Diverting & Mixing (Mouse Over Images To Animate)

Valve: 3 Port Thermal Diverter Valve Mouse over the image below to animate		Valve: 4 Port Thermal Bypass Mouse over the image below to animate		Valve: 3 Port Mixing Mouse over the image below to animate
The three port diversion valve diverts flow through the valve between ports B & A, to B & C when a pre-set temperature level is met. Each customer has the freedom to choose a diversion temperature between 30F-300F (-1.1C - 148.9C).		The four port diversion valve offers an alternative method to the three port valve on the left. Cold flow will enter port A and exit out of port D without flowing through B. Hot flow will activate the wax motor inside causing the internal valve to close forcing fluid through the system cooler and back into port C of the valve.		The three port mixing valve has two inlets, and a single outlet for the mix temperature. This valve will shuttle between the hot and cold "inlet feeds" to appropriately mix your fluid to the desired temperature suited for your system.
