Thermostatic valves and control heads

Function
Thermostatic valves are typically used for regulating the fluid flow to
the radiators of central heating systems.
They are provided with a regulating element which automatically
controls the opening of the valve to keep the ambient temperature
of the room where they are installed constant at the set value. This
prevents unwanted temperature rises and achieves considerable
energy savings.

Technical specification of control heads

Scale of adjustment: ❄–5
Setting temperature range: 7–28 °C
Frost protection cut-in: 7 °C
Storage temperature: -10–50 ° C
Caleffi valves 220, 221 (sizes 3/8”, 1/2”, 3/4”); 224, 225 series (sizes 3/8”,
028
1/2”), 222, 223, 226, 227 series (size 1/2”) in combination with control
heads 204 series, are approved to standard EN 215.
Caleffi valves 222, 223 (sizes 3/8”) are not approved to standard EN 215.

Flow curves
The head loss diagrams are obtained with the thermostatic control head in position 3 and a difference between the ambient temperature and the
set temperature of 1K and 2K (curves s-1K and s-2K respectively) as well as with the thermostatic control head fully open, corresponding to the
maximum opening of the valve. The diagrams can be used for straight, angled, double angled and reverse valves. For thermotechnical calculations,
the pressure loss can be considered equal with optimal approximation.
