Thermostatic valve for radiator, has pipe with alternator driven by flow of heating fluid, and digital control unit mounted either on hot water pipe or at distance from radiator to control opening of valves based on ambient temperature

摘要

The valve has a pipe (2) with an alternator (1) driven by flow of heating fluid (50) and a motor (3) that are integrated in a portion of the pipe to produce electricity from fluid. Valves (33, 34) control flow of the fluid through the pipe. A microcontroller and a digital control unit control opening of the valves based on ambient temperature. The control unit is mounted either on a hot water pipe or at a distance from a radiator.
