Danfoss Updates Series of Mechanical Thermostatic Radiator Valve Operators
Danfoss Climate Solutions has announced a new product line of thermostatic radiator valve operators to meet the demands for greater energy efficiency and customer needs, delivering unparalleled energy performance and replacing the RA2000 series of valve-mounted thermostatic operators. The new product includes Danfoss’ unique gas-filled thermostats, including well-known features from previous thermostat ranges paired with new, innovative functionality.
The regulation precision of a thermostatic radiator valve is determined by its control accuracy classification. The lower the CA value, the more precise the thermostat maintains the desired room temperature, avoiding overheating and achieving better comfort. Danfoss’ new thermostat range achieves a CA of 0.2K, the highest ranking possible.
The new thermostatic radiator valve operators feature unique gas bellow technology. Research shows that gas thermostats regulate more accurately based on the desired set temperature than liquid thermostats, thereby lowering the amount of energy consumed. This results in up to 2% additional energy savings compared to traditional liquid bellows. To help customers adjust room temperature more precisely, the Aveo also features tactile temperature setting, providing a subtle click feeling for every 1 F change in temperature.
The thermostats help customers save money in other areas as well. An anti-theft plug-in accessory offers additional protection for the thermostatic operator. This small plug-in makes it harder to remove the thermostat, which can only be done by using a special tool.
The thermostatic radiator valve operators also have built-in temperature limitation options so building managers can limit room occupants from changing the thermostat temperature.
