Amot delivers its largest temperature controller

Amot’s largest ever three-way temperature control valves have been installed on four new 4,250 TEU container ships by the Zhejiang Shipyard in China. The 457mm (18in) G-series valve was built specially to match modern higher flow requirements while providing rapid and repeatable control accuracy and reducing installation time and costs.

Designed for ease and speed of system integration, the valve has been matched to the pipe size, eliminating the need to fit reducers. Orientation of the ports and a low pressure drop allows the use of a smaller valve size, while manual hand-wheel valve adjustment further simplifies the set-up and maintenance.

Robust actuators designed to enhance reliability offer the user a choice of electric, pneumatic or electro-pneumatic control systems. The valve is used for oil temperature control, jacket water and sea water cooling. MP
