Walton temperature control systems are used wherever fluid temperature control is vital - in industrial, power generation and marine applications. The accurate temperature control they provide plays a significant role in reducing both operating and maintenance costs. The systems have gained a reputation for reliability, robust operation and minimal maintenance requirements, based on sound engineering and proven design. The UK's Royal Navy and other navies have relied on Walton systems for over 40 years, and many of the original valves are still operational. Walton systems are also used by leading diesel engine, steam and gas turbine manufacturers. The key benefits of Walton valves are:
Walton valves have a number of different actuation methods: direct, pneumatic, electric or gas operation; see the appropriate section for details. They are also available in a wide variety of materials including:
Sizes range from 25mm (1") bore to 350mm (14") diameter. The flow rates that each valve can accommodate are shown here. Of a distinctive three port design, valves can be installed with either two inlet ports (mixers) or with one inlet and two outlet ports (diverters). In operation, the valve automatically proportions the flow of a coolant between the cooler and the by-pass according to the positioning of a flow-control mechanism. An important feature is the ability to ‘hand’ the valve: this provides maximum flexibility for designers in selecting the orientation which bests suits the pipework arrangement. Manual control at the valve is a standard feature of most Walton valves. |
