Motorized valve

What is a Motorised Valve for Heating and what is it used for?

A Motorised Valve for Heating is an essential component in modern heating systems. It is a valve equipped with an electric motor that allows you to regulate the flow of hot water through your heating system. Its main function is to control the amount of heat distributed in different areas of your space, providing you with personalised control over the temperature in each room. 

By adjusting the valve's opening, you can efficiently balance and regulate heat, avoiding energy waste and maintaining a comfortable environment.

Function and Features of Motorised Valves for Heating

Discover the cutting edge in temperature control with Motorised Valves for Heating, crucial players in the equation of energy efficiency and comfort in your home. Their distinguished features include:

• Precise Temperature Control: These robust valves empower you with the ability to finely tune the flow of hot water through the radiators, resulting in absolute control over the temperature in every corner of your space.
• Efficient Zoning: Divide your space into zones and heat only the areas that demand thermal comfort, leading to intelligent energy use and reduced unnecessary expenses.
• Programming and Automation: Many motorised valves can be programmed to automatically adjust the temperature according to your preferences, freeing you from constant manual adjustments and aligning with your modern lifestyle.
• Integration with Smart Systems: Some valves are compatible with smart home systems, granting you the power to control the heating remotely, through devices like your smartphone or other connected devices.

Advantages of Motorised Valves for Heating

The inclusion of Motorised Valves for Heating in your system brings a host of tangible and lasting advantages:

• Energy Savings: Precise regulation of heat flow ensures the minimisation of energy waste, helping preserve valuable resources and reduce your ecological footprint.
• Personalised Comfort: Everyone in your home can enjoy their preferred temperature in their own space, creating an environment where everyone feels comfortable.
• Cost Reduction: Efficient energy consumption translates into more affordable heating bills, leaving more room for the things that really matter.
• Extended System Lifespan: Balancing heat distribution not only results in optimal temperature but also less wear and tear on the heating system, prolonging its lifespan.

Types of Motorised Valves for Heating

2-Way Motorised Valve

The 2-Way Motorised Valve is the ideal solution for heating systems seeking simple yet effective operation. Its design focuses on two states: open or closed. In the "open" state, the flow of hot water flows unrestricted, allowing heat to disperse through radiators or underfloor heating systems. Conversely, in the "closed" state, the valve completely interrupts the flow of hot water, stopping the circulation of heat.

This type of valve is especially useful for heating zones where only an instant on or off is required. For example, in individual radiator systems in different rooms, the 2-Way Motorised Valve becomes the master controlling the presence or absence of heat in each space. Its simplicity makes it effective and easy to use, especially in more basic heating configurations.

3-Way Motorised Valve: Versatility and Advanced Control

On the other hand, the 3-Way Motorised Valve stands as the preferred choice for heating systems that demand more sophisticated and adaptable heat distribution. Its design adds a degree of complexity by incorporating a third flow path, connecting two hot water supply points with a return point. This arrangement brings more flexible control over the amount of heat sent to different areas.

The true advantage of the 3-Way Motorised Valve lies in its ability to adjust the heat flow in real-time. Suppose you want to maintain a main room at a constant temperature while gradually slowing down the heating in a less used room. In this case, the 3-Way Motorised Valve comes into action. It can direct most of the hot water flow to the main room while modulating the flow to the less used room, optimising heat distribution according to your needs.

Pipe Diameter of the Motorised Heating Valve

Motorised heating valves are also available in different pipe diameters, as depending on our circuit, one or another will need to be chosen. Among them, we find:

• 1" Motorised Heating Valve
• 1/2" Motorised Heating Valve
• 3/4" Motorised Heating Valve
