How do thermostatic mixing valves work?

Thermostatic showers store hot water in their valve before mixing it with cold water to the temperature you set. A thermostatic mixing valve can also react to the changes in the temperature of the water and mix according to any preset temperature. Thermostatic mixers also shut down their thermostatic valves if there is no cold water supply. This will prevent you from getting burnt by the hot water.

Some core elements of thermostatic diverters are:

  • 01

    Element

    The element is a small motor that increases and decreases with the temperature of water flowing through the thermostatic valve.

  • 02

    Piston

    The piston is used to regulate the water temperature. It moves across the entry points of hot and cold water to maintain constant water temperature.

  • 03

    Temperature control

    Temperature control is what you use to control and change the temperature of the shower. This control moves the piston, which will mix the cold and hot water to your desired temperature.

    All these elements work together in a shower valve to reach the water temperature you wanted and also to maintain it.
