Thermostatic Control Valves - Model 6B ST and SS
Overview
The AMOT model 6B steel and stainless steel thermostatic valve may be mounted in any position
and uses the proven expanding wax principle to actuate the 3-way temperature element
assemblies. The valve may be used for diverting or mixing service and makes very economical
temperature limiting valves for engine and lubricating oil skids where high design specifications
may be required for the complete module.

Leakholes
In some applications, it is necessary to have leak holes drilled in the element to ensure a small
flow between ports A and C. Leakholes are available in sizes ranging from 1.6 mm to 12.7 mm
( 1/16” to 1/2”).

Temperature settings
Temperature settings are available from 13°C to 116°C (55°F to 240°F). In general, the
temperature quoted is the nominal operating temperature in diverting mode on water systems.
For long life, AMOT valves should not be operated continuously at temperatures in excess of 14°C
(25°F) of their maximum continuous rating. If this condition is anticipated then consult AMOT for
suitable alternatives.
For mixing and oil circuits the temperature may be one to two degrees higher due to flow, viscosity
and other system parameters. Elements and seals are available in a variety of materials. These
materials are suitable for most applications. Please refer to the Temperature Control Valve Selection
Guide for material compability information.

Manual override (BR & BM)

Manual override is often a requirement for marine applications. In automatic mode the valve
will control the temperature automatically, but actuating the manual override mechanism on top
of the valve will cause the element to move towards its hot (extended) position, regardless of
temperature. Each element assembly has its own override. Manual Override should only be used in
case of an emergency or element failure.
BR type valves are fitted with a variable manual override which allows a progressive opening of
port A to C. BM type valves are fitted with an on/off manual override.

(8)
in sizing the valves is to select a
pressure drop between 0.14 to 0.5 Bar
(2 and 7 PSI).

Flow coefficient

Kv is the flow coefficient in metric units. It is defined as the flow rate in cubic meters per hour (m3/h) of water
at a temperature of 16º celsius with a pressure drop across the valve of 1 bar. Cv is the imperial coefficient. It
is defined as the flow rate in US Gallons per minute [gpm] of water at a temperature of 60º fahrenheit with a
pressure drop across the valve of 1 psi. (Kv = 0.865 Cv / Cv = 1.156 Kv)

The basic formula to determine the Kv of a valve is: The basic formula to determine the Cv of a valve is:

Q = Flow (m 3/h) Q = Flow (US gallons/min)

Kv = Q SG Dp = Pressure drop (bar) Cv = Q SG Dp = Pressure drop (psi)
Dp SG = Specific gravity of fluid Dp SG = Specific gravity of fluid
Kv = Valve flow coefficient Cv = Valve flow coefficient

There are two other ways that this formula can be used There are two other ways that this formula can be used to
