The Myson LSTCCKITUK is a specialised "Close Coupled Thermostatic Radiator Valve (TRV) Kit" designed for use with Myson's range of Low Surface Temperature (LST) radiators. Its primary function is to ensure the accurate and efficient operation of the thermostatic valve, a critical component for controlling room temperature and enhancing energy efficiency in environments where safety is paramount.
LST radiators are designed to have a surface temperature that is safe to touch, making them ideal for installations in hospitals, schools, care homes, and nurseries. The Myson LSTCCKITUK is an essential accessory for these radiators, enabling the thermostatic sensing head to be mounted on the exterior casing of the radiator. This strategic placement allows the sensor to accurately gauge the ambient room temperature, rather than being influenced by the heat generated within the radiator's enclosure.
The kit includes several key components:
Thermostatic Sensing Head: This is the visible part of the valve that the user interacts with to set the desired room temperature.
Thermostatic Radiator Valve (TRV) Body: This is the main valve that connects to the radiator's water inlet and controls the flow of hot water.
Lockshield Valve: This valve is installed on the water outlet of the radiator to balance the heating system.
Capillary Coupling Unit: This is a crucial element of the "close coupled" design. It is a thin, flexible tube that connects the sensing head to the TRV body, allowing them to be positioned separately.
The innovative design of the Myson LSTCCKITUK offers several advantages. By separating the sensing head from the main valve body, it overcomes the potential for inaccurate temperature readings that could occur if the sensor were enclosed within the LST radiator's casing. This ensures precise temperature control and optimal energy usage. Furthermore, the design provides greater flexibility during the installation process and simplifies routine maintenance, such as cleaning the radiator, as the main thermostatic components do not need to be disconnected.
The Myson LSTCCKITUK is a purpose-built solution that allows for the effective and safe operation of thermostatic radiator valves on Low Surface Temperature radiators, ensuring both comfort and safety in sensitive environments.
