Model J:
Three way thermostatic valve
AMOT Model J thermostatic valves are fully automatic, 3-way fluid temperature controllers for diverting or mixing applications. They are used to provide reliable control of fluid temperatures in engine jacket water and lubricating oil systems. These valves are suitable for process control and industrial applications where fluids must be mixed or diverted depending on their temperatures. They may also be applied to cogeneration systems to control temperatures in the heat recovery loop assuring proper engine cooling and maximizing heat recovery. As with other AMOT thermostatic valves, the J valve uses fully enclosed, factory-set temperature element assemblies which provide tamper-proof operation.

Operation:
The temperature control power is created by the expansion of a wax/copper mixture which is highly sensitive to temperature changes. Large forces are created by the warming/expansion of the mixture which in turn acts upon the sliding valve, thus regulating the flow.
During operation the sliding valve constantly modulates for accurate temperature control. The reliable rugged construction provides a unit sensitive to temperature variations, not easily disturbed by pressure changes and sudden surges and maintains stable temperatures over a wide range of operating conditions.
