Navigator launches new antifreeze valve

Leading heating and plumbing distributor Navigator has launched its new antifreeze valve onto the market, a part of Navigator's Midbrass Renewable Range. This antifreeze valve is designed to work seamlessly with heat pumps and other renewable energy systems, providing reliable protection and enhancing system efficiency.

It’s easy to install and prevents systems freezing by detecting when the fluid in the system reaches below 3°C.

The new valve features Automatic Temperature Regulation. The valve automatically opens at 3°C to release water and prevent freezing and closes at 4°C to stop the discharge, ensuring seamless operation without manual intervention.

By releasing water that would otherwise freeze and expand, the valve protects the closed circuit heating system and connected components - pumps, valves and pipework - from potential damage.

For absolute peace of mind, it is recommended to install these valves on both the flow and return pipes, accommodating different operating pressures and enhancing system protection. The valve operates effectively within a wide temperature range (-30°C to 60°C) and can handle a maximum working pressure of 10 Bar, making it suitable for various environments and conditions.

Constructed from durable materials – DRZ solid brass material - the valve is designed to withstand harsh conditions and provide reliable performance over time. With a sensitivity of ±1°C, the valve ensures accurate temperature control, enhancing the safety and efficiency of the heating system.

The valve must be installed vertically on horizontal pipework, ensuring proper drainage and preventing freezing of the outlet port. It should be placed where the pipework is most liable to freeze, away from heat sources to maintain accurate readings.

The valve is compatible with closed circuit systems and helps maintain system pressure, ensuring normal operation even in severe cold conditions. Recharging the system and resetting the pump can resume normal operation if the valve causes a shutdown due to pressure loss.
