TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
A wide selection of temperatures are available. Fresh water systems typically run in the range 71˚ to 88˚C. Seawater systems do not
normally exceed 49˚C. Follow the equipment manufacturers’ guidelines for oil systems and for specific operating temperatures of
cooling/heating systems.
In general the temperature quoted is the nominal operating temperature in diverting mode on water systems.
For mixing and oil circuits the temperature may be 1 to 2˚C Degrees higher due to flow, viscosity and other system parameters.
For long life AMOT valves should not be operated continuously at temperatures in excess of their maximum continuous rating. If this
condition is anticipated then consult AMOT for suitable alternatives.
ELEMENT LEAKHOLES
Leakholes are drilled to allow a small flow of fluid between ports B and C for the following reasons:
• To allow small flows to cooler during start up which slows down warm up cycle.
• To allow small flows to maintain some flow through cooler in order to prevent condensation or in extreme cases freezing. In
applications where additives are not or can not be used.
• In applications where valve is used as 2 way. With port ‘B’ blocked, when circuit is cold and valve closed leakhole is necessary to
ensure small flow in order for the element to see temperature change. Allowing the unit to function.

VALVE SIZING AMOT VALVE
Pressure Drop FLOW
Amot Thermostatic Valves are designed to produce minimal pressure drop. The normal recommendation in
sizing AMOT Thermostatic valves is to select a pressure drop between 0.14 to 0.5 bar (2 and 7 Psi). COEFFICIENT
Valve Flow Coefficient
A Cv is the valve’s flow coefficient (Cv), it is defined as the number of US gallons per minute of room Kv Cv
temperature water which will flow through the valve with a pressure drop of 1 Psi across the valve.
The basic formula to find a valve’s Cv is shown below. (Kv is metric coefficient). 1/2 CM 6.1 7

VISCOSITY CORRECTION
For the selection of valves for use with more viscous fluids than water the following must be calculated in addition to using the
previously mentioned formulas.
1 Viscosity: Find the viscosity of the fluid which shall be used in the valve. This will generally be in centistokes – ISO grade oil is
easy to calculate as the grade no. is the viscosity. i.e. ISO VG 46 = 46 centistokes at 40˚C.
2 Viscosity Correction: Once the viscosity value has been found, by using the graph below the Flow Coefficient correction factor
can be established. The correction value that is produced by the graph should then be multiplied by the original Flow
Coefficient. This gives the corrected Flow Coefficient which can then be used in the standard formulas.
Example: 100 CST = correction factor of 0.68
0.68 x Flow Coefficient = corrected Flow Coefficient (Kv or Cv)

There are several ways of installing Amot thermostatic
valves, but the two most common applications are B C

“mixing” and “diverting”. When diverting the fluid,
temperature into the valve is being controlled. When
mixing the fluid, temperature from the valve is
controlled. In mixing mode the valve may run at 1-2˚C PUMP
(1.8-3.6˚F) higher than the normal set temperature.
All Amot internally sensed valves have the same port
