Fernox has launched new TF1 Antifreeze Valves to its portfolio of renewable merchandise. Obtainable in two sizes appropriate for each compression and BSP fittings, the valves have been particularly engineered for warmth pump functions, to stop ice forming in heating and cooling techniques and damaging the warmth pump itself.  

When temperatures drop, techniques that aren’t handled with a glycol-based fluid can freeze throughout the warmth pump circuit, which can lead to dangerous and dear injury to susceptible parts and pipework. The Fernox TF1 Antifreeze Valve reduces this danger due to its inside sensor, which detects when the fluid within the system is near freezing to provoke protecting motion. 

Particularly, when the circuit temperature drops to three°C, usually within the occasion of the warmth pump ceasing to flow into fluid attributable to an influence outage or different exterior issue, the valve opens to discharge a small quantity of fluid, permitting the circuit to empty till it returns to a temperature above 3°C, at which level the valve closes. This motion prevents potential injury to the warmth pump and pipework brought on by the formation of ice within the system. 

Manufactured from brass the valve is offered in two sizes to swimsuit the appliance – both 28mm Compression or 1¼” BSP. As well as, the 1¼” BSP TF1 Antifreeze Valve can be manufactured with a 1” BSP feminine connection for ease of set up on the stream and return pipes. The corporate says its TF1 Antifreeze Valve encompasses a new expertise twin sensor thermostatic module for correct water temperature monitoring, in order that the TF1 Antifreeze Valve responds to precise water temperature, not the results of wind chill. 

“When fluid in a warmth pump system freezes, it may possibly result in pricey repairs and unscheduled downtime, leaving the constructing with out warmth, which is all the time a priority for finish customers throughout the chilly season,” stated Mark Corridor, Head Of Mechanical Engineering at Fernox. “Our new TF1 Antifreeze Valves provide a proactive and preventative answer to safeguard in opposition to such points and is an integral part in defending the heath of the system.”
