TV/SC-A

Operation

The TV/SC-A (Tube Valve/Steam Control-Ambient Sensing) valves can be used to turn on steam, air, gas, or liquids compatible with Teflon® and stainless steel in response to ambient temperature changes to protect piping and instrumentation from freeze damage.

The thermostatic actuator located at one end of the TV/SC-A (thermally isolated from the body of the valve), will automatically open or close within a 10°F (5.6°C) differential (e.g. 35°- 45°F) to provide an optimal fluid temperature. The valves are normally closed and will begin to open to inject steam or another fluid when the ambient temperature drops below the valves’ set-point. The valves will close again once the air temperature rises back above the valves’ set-point, saving thousands of dollars in wasted operating costs.

Typical Applications

There are hundreds of applications for these compact, self-contained, automatic steam control valves.

Most often used in steam tracing applications, these self-actuating valves can also be used in the operation of pneumatically operated pumps for injection of antifreeze liquids and instrument enclosure temperature control (See ITCH product sheet).
