Thermoelectric actuators from Grimwood Heating

Thermoelectric Actuators from Grimwood Heating
Grimwood Heating has extended their HVAC accessories range to include Thermoelectric actuators for heating and cooling applications.
Application
The AZA actuator is a thermoelectric actuator for opening and closing valves and is used in the fields of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.
Functions
- The actuator mechanism of the AZA actuator uses PTC resistor heated elastic and a compression spring
- The wax element is heated by applying the operating voltage and moves the integrated ram. The force generated by the movement is transferred to the valve lifter and thus opens and closes the valve
- The AZA actuator are available in Normally Closed (NC) and Normally Open (NO) versions
- The position indicator (all-around-indicator) on top of the AZA allows identifying the operation condition (valve open or closed).
Features
- Control signal on/off or Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
- Power supply
- 24 Vac/dc or 230 Vac versions
- Normally Closed and Normally Open versions
- 4.0 mm stroke
- 3 minutes opening / closing time
- Force 100N
- All around function indicator - to indicate when valve is closed or open
- Adaption check
- 360 degrees installation position
- 1 metre cable
- ZVA 50 valve adaptor to be used for AZA actuator with VZH valve
- Valve adaptor concept - different adaptors available to suit other valve brands on the market
- Valve adaptors can be used on new and existing valves
Valve adaption
The different valve adapters allows adapting the actuator to many valve bottoms available on the market. Adapters available in various thread sizes and special versions. The different colours used on adaptors make distinction of the individual types easy.
Installation positions
Preferred installation positions of the AZA are vertical and horizontal. An up-side down position may reduce product life through some circumstances (e.g. contaminated water).
With distributors in every state, Grimwood’s HVAC Accessories products are easily accessible for every industry requiring a quality solution to their application.
