CAPACITY DIAGRAM
LK 823 ThermoVar® R is a 3-way thermic loading valve for solid
fuel/storage tank installations. The valve is intended to ensure
both an optimal temperature stratification in the storage tank
and a high return temperature to the boiler, thus increasing the
efficiency of the system. Tarring and condensation are prevented
which prolongs boiler life.
The valve regulates on two ports, which means that there is
no need for a balancing valve in the cirucit between boiler and
loading valve. The thermostatic element starts to open port A
when the outgoing mixed water temperature in port AB reaches
the opening temperature. Port B is closed when the temperature
in port A exceeds the nominal opening temperature by 10 °C.
The valve is adjustable within the range of 55 °C to 70 °C.
LK 823 R can be equipped with an insulation - see under
Accessories. For more information, please see the product
sheet for insulations.
The valve can be mounted at any angle. LK 823 ThermoVar® R
is for right- or left-hand mounting.
