Temperature Regulators

At Process Systems, we supply self-acting temperature regulators designed to provide reliable temperature control without the need for electricity or pneumatics. These valves automatically control the flow of steam or liquid in response to temperature changes, helping maintain a constant preset temperature in heated or cooled products.

Our range includes bronze temperature regulators for heating and cooling applications, along with matching accessories such as a 2 m sensor for the OB-30 and a thermowell to suit the OB-30 temperature probe. With sizes from 1/2" to 1" BSPT and pressure ratings up to 10 BAR, these products offer a practical solution for systems that need dependable standalone control.

How temperature regulators work

A temperature regulator is a self-acting control valve. It uses the expansion and contraction of temperature-sensitive material inside the sensor and capillary to move the valve and adjust flow as the product temperature changes.

For heating duties, a normally open valve is typically used. As the product temperature rises toward the set point, the valve moves toward the closed position to reduce the flow of heating media such as steam or hot water. For cooling duties, a normally closed valve is used. As the product temperature rises, the valve moves toward the open position to allow cooling media into the system.

These valves perform well in steady load conditions and are designed to maintain proportional control rather than simply being fully open or fully closed. They do not rely on any external power source, which makes them a useful option where electrical or pneumatic supply is limited or where continued operation during power failure is important.

A practical option for simple temperature control

Self-acting temperature regulators are well-suited to applications that need robust, standalone temperature control without the added complexity of electronic or pneumatic systems. They are straightforward to size and select, require only one trade for installation, and offer reliable long-term operation when installed correctly.

Typical uses include jacketed pans, tracer lines, boiler feedwater tanks, hot water calorifiers, acid baths, and cooling control for boiler blowdown vessels. They are generally best suited to non-critical applications with low, steady flow rates.

This range includes:

• Bronze temperature regulator for heating
• Bronze temperature regulator for cooling
• 2 m sensor for OB-30
• Thermowell for OB-30 temperature probe
