Applications

Applications

N/A Installed in airplane galleys where coffee makers and faucets are inter-connected through a shared manifold, our HAT valves will sense the water temperature and automatically close to interrupt flow when it's above the valve's set-point preventing scalding to personnel and passengers.

Our scald protection valves are also available in 316 SS and can be passivated to prevent corrosion from disinfection solutions. ThermOmegaTech® valves protect personnel in hundreds of commercial aircraft including the Airbus 380, A330, and A350, Boeing B747 and B777, and the Boeing KC-46A Tanker.

Advantages

Advantages

N/A
  • Protects safety showers from over-temperature conditions, keeping personnel safe
  • Self-operating: requires no external power source
  • Discharges the minimum amount of water required to keep water temperature within safe limits
  • Fast-acting response to rising temperatures

Additional Information

Additional Information

N/A Installed at the highest point on the station to monitor either the ambient or water temperature; the HAT/ SP or the IC/SP will bleed off the excessively hot water and allow cooler water to backfill to prevent an individual from being scalded.

Exposed water lines on safety shower and eyewash stations are often left unprotected from freezing and overheating conditions. This can cause an extremely high or low temperature at the point of use. Relying on personnel to manually open valves to prevent freeze damage or scalding allows for human error.
