  2. Pressure-balanced valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-balanced_valve

    Conversely, if someone opens a hot water faucet elsewhere, the relatively higher pressure in the cold water supply line will cause the shower temperature to drop suddenly. This is described in US patent 3674048. [1] The pressure-balanced shower valve compensates for changes in water pressure.

  3. Hydronic balancing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydronic_balancing

    There are various balancing methods, but all involve measuring differential pressures and adjusting them to the correct value by calculating the flow which each one represents. Differential pressure controllers are usually membrane- or spring-driven valves that control the differential pressures in the installation. This simplifies balancing ...

  4. Thermal expansion valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion_valve

    The refrigerant is compressed by the compressor to a high-pressure and high-temperature gaseous state. The high-pressure and high-temperature gas then enters the condenser. The condenser cools the high-pressure and high-temperature gas allowing it to condense to a high-pressure liquid by transferring heat to a lower temperature medium, usually ...

  5. Thermostatic mixing valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostatic_mixing_valve

    The storage of water at high temperature removes one possible breeding ground for Legionella; the use of a thermostat, rather than a static mixing valve, provides increased safety against scalding, and increased user comfort, because the hot-water temperature remains constant. [1] Many TMVs use a wax thermostat for regulation. They also shut ...

  6. Thermostat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostat

    Some automobile passenger heating systems have a thermostatically controlled valve to regulate the water flow and temperature to an adjustable level. In older vehicles the thermostat controls the application of engine vacuum to actuators that control water valves and flappers to direct the flow of air.

  8. Tap (valve) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_(valve)

    A single temperature tap is commonly found in a commercial or public restroom where the temperature of the water will be controlled by a separate temperature regulating valve that mixes hot and cold water. The regulating valve may be under the handwashing sink or in a separate mechanical room or service closet.
