Disinfection device for a valve

A thermostatic mixing valve including: a first fluid inlet; a second fluid inlet; an outlet; a thermostatic element connected to a return spring and a piston such that movement of the thermostatic element assists with moving the piston, movement of the piston controlling fluid flow from the first fluid inlet and the second fluid inlet to the outlet; a housing containing an overtravel spring, the overtravel spring configured to resist a force applied by the thermostatic element during movement thereof; and a plunger extending into the housing, the plunger configured to engage the overtravel spring, wherein rotating the plunger adjusts the resistance applied onto the thermostatic element from the overtravel spring.

Thermostatic mixing valve with disinfecting facility

A water temperature regulating valve () including a valve body () having a cavity () in which mixing of fluids can occur, and provided with a hot fluid (or heated water) inlet () adapted for communication with a source of hot (or heated) water, a cooled fluid inlet () adapted for communication with an apparatus that has used the mixed fluid for heating, a mixed fluid outlet () adapted for communication with an apparatus that uses the mixed fluid for heating, and a return fluid outlet () adapted for communication with the source of hot (or heated) water, all inlets and outlets also being in communication with the cavity () provided within the valve body (), said cavity () being provided with an insert () in a sealing relationship with an inner surface of the said cavity (), said insert () having a central bore () and also defining flow passages and being configured to direct the flows of hot fluid entering the cavity () via the hot fluid inlet () and cooled fluid entering the cavity via the cooled fluid inlet (), the flow passages defined by the said insert () interacting with moveable closure means to selectively permit, restrict or prevent the flows of hot fluid and cooled fluid into the cavity (), and mixed fluid and return fluid out of the cavity (), said moveable closure means being temperature-reactive and/or manually operable.
