Principle of operation (see Fig. 2)

The regulators operate according to the liquid expansion principle. The temperature sensor (11), capillary tube (8) and operating element (7) are filled with an expanding liquid. The liquid
changes its volume depending on the temperature, causing the
operating element (7) and the plug stem (5) with the plug (3) of
the valve to move.
The position of the plug determines the flow rate of the heat
transfer medium across the area released between the plug (3)
and seat (2).
The temperature set point can be adjusted with a key (9) to a
value that can be read off the dial (10).

Installation
Valve
Install the valves in horizontal pipelines. The direction of flow
must correspond with the arrow on the body. The connecting element must be vertically suspended.
Capillary tube
Install the capillary tube such that it is not exposed to considerable temperature fluctuations and cannot be damaged. Make
sure the permissible ambient temperature range is not exceeded. The smallest possible bending radius is 50 mm.
Temperature sensor
The temperature sensor can be installed in any desired position.
Nevertheless, its entire length must be immersed in the process
medium. Choose a place of installation where neither overheating nor considerable idle times occur.
Only use the same kind of materials together. For example,
thermowells made of stainless steel 1.4571 can be installed in
stainless steel heat exchangers.

To protect the operating element from inadmissible operating
conditions, an extension piece or separating piece must be installed between the valve and the operating element.
An extension piece is needed for temperatures over 220 C.
The standard version does not have sealing.
The special version of the extension piece is made of stainless
steel and has a bellows seal. It additionally acts as a separating
piece.
An extension piece is required for temperatures over 150 C
when valves with cast iron or spheroidal graphite iron bodies
are used together with Type 2212 Safety Temperature Limiter or
Type 2213 Safety Temperature Monitor.
A separating piece is made of brass (for water and steam) or
CrNi steel (for water and oil).
A separating piece must be used when a seal between thermostat and valve is required. Separating pieces made of CrNi steel
must be used when all wetted parts are to be free of non-ferrous
metals.
In addition, it prevents the medium from leaking while the thermostat is being replaced.

Dynamic behavior of the thermostats

The dynamics of the regulator are mainly determined by the
response of the sensor with its characteristic time constant.
Table 3 lists the response times of SAMSON sensors operating
on different principles when tested in water.
