The HAT/RA-HP is a self-operating, high-pressure in-line temperature control valve designed to protect pumps from over-temperature damage by modulating fluid discharge to maintain a constant temperature. It features an all-300 series stainless steel body, fittings, spring, and ram-type plug, with EPDM or Viton seals, and is rated for up to 1000 PSIG pressure and a maximum temperature of 250°F. The valve operates within a narrow temperature band, with opening temperatures selectable from 40°F to 210°F and a typical closing temperature 10°F below the opening point. It is NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and 372 certified, compact, and requires no external power. The part is available in 1/2 NPT size, with dimensions of 1.1 inches in diameter and 3.9 inches in length, and weighs 1 pound.
The HAT/RA-HP valve is commonly used as a thermal relief valve on fire pumps and high pressure water pumps. It may be used to regulate the flow of glycol, water or other media in critical cooling applications and to economically remove heat from equipment or a process.
As the fluid temperature increases to within the operating range of the HAT/RA-HP(Heat Actuated Trap/Reverse Acting – High Pressure, the thermal actuator modulates the valve open. If the fluid temperature is above the acceptable range, the valve will continue to modulate open allowing additional fluid discharge. As the outlet temperature falls, the valve then modulates toward the closed position, reducing flow. This modulating action maintains a relatively constant fluid temperature.
