Model J: Three-way thermostatic valve
AMOT Model J thermostatic valves are fully automatic, 3-way liquid temperature regulators for dividing or mixing liquid streams, and are often used to ensure reliable control of liquid temperature in coolant or lubricating oil. The valves are also suitable for process control and industrial applications, as well as heat recovery loops. Like other AMOT thermostatic valves, the J-valve uses integrated, factory-set temperature elements that provide a "tamper-proof" operating temperature.

Operations
Temperature control is achieved by expanding a wax/copper mixture which is very sensitive to temperature changes. The expansion forces in turn act on the slide valve and regulate the liquid flow, so that the temperature is continuously regulated. The reliable robust construction provides high resistance to temperature variations and pressure changes, and maintains stable temperature under highly variable operating conditions.
