Temperature control device (1) has a hot water inlet (12), a cold water inlet (14) and an outlet (16) for tempered water. A diffuser (18) is provided in the device (1) to disrupt the flow of hot water after it enters the device (1). The disrupted hot water emerges from the diffuser (18) into a chamber (20) in which it is melded with cold water that is able to enter the chamber (20) from the inlet (14) when a piston (22) is spaced from a seat (24). The melded hot and cold water result in tempered water that is discharged from the outlet (16). A temperature sensitive device (26) is provided, which is responsive to changes in ambient temperature. A temperature setting mechanism (52) is provided which is operatively associated with the temperature sensitive device (26) and permits the maximum temperature of the discharged tempered water to be adjusted.

A valve core connection structure of a valve assembly comprising: a body, two stop valve sets, two limitation structures, and two locking sleeves. The body includes a holder, a cold-water inflow connector, a hot-water inflow connector, a first outflow connector, a second outflow connector, a cold-water inflow seat, and a hot-water inflow seat. Each stop valve set includes a valve core, a limiting loop, a defining structure, and a locating structure. Each limitation structure is defined between a peripheral fence of each second accommodation cavity and the limiting loop so that the limiting loop is retained on the peripheral fence of each second accommodation cavity, thus limiting rotation of the limiting loop. Each locking sleeve is screwed on the cold-water inflow seat and the hot-water inflow seat so that the limiting loop and the valve core are limited in each second accommodation cavity.

A valve device including a first wall configured to be received by a valve housing; a second wall located in an inboard direction of the first wall; and a connecting member connecting the first wall to the second wall, wherein at least the second wall has an aperture therethrough in the inboard direction.

An energy saving system utilizing temperature sensing flow control valve to realizing chilled water loop is provided, which includes an air blower, a temperature sensing flow control valve and a temperature setter. The air blower is disposed in the chilled water loop of a building to chill the air by the chilled water loop and then discharge the chilled air from the air outlet of the air blower. The valve is connected to a chilled water outlet beside the air blower and controls the flow of the chilled water flowing from the air blower to the chilled water loop. The temperature setter is connected to the valve and detects the temperature of the air discharged from the air outlet; the temperature setter opens or closes the temperature sensing flow control valve according to the detected air temperature and adjusts the flow of the chilled water by the valve.

An iterative computer-implemented method and laboratory apparatus for calibrating and controlling the temperature: at a user device, remote from the apparatus: receiving a series of programming inputs from a user at a programming interface application on the user device; receiving a set of sensor measurements from the apparatus; automatically generating a set of control instructions for the apparatus based on a programming input of the series and the set of sensor measurements; and sending the set of control instructions to the apparatus; at the apparatus: receiving the set of control instructions from the user device; operating the apparatus based on the set of control instructions; recording a second set of sensor measurements during the apparatus operation; and sending the second set of sensor measurements to the user device; to the user device.

Generally described, embodiments are directed to a temperature calibration system that includes a closed fluidic system and a cooling assembly configured to remove heat from the closed fluidic system. The cooling assembly is configured to move between a coupled position, in which the cooling assembly is thermally coupled to (e.g., abutting) a condenser of the closed fluidic system, and a decoupled position, in which the cooling assembly is thermally decoupled (e.g., spaced apart) from the condenser of the closed fluidic system. In at least one embodiment, while in the decoupled position, components of the cooling assembly may be protected from damage that may occur at elevated temperatures.

The invention relates to a control cartridge for single-lever mixer taps, comprising a housing in which a ceramic base disk and a rotatable and displaceable ceramic control disk resting on the base disk are situated. An inlet for the cold water and hot water, respectively, and an outlet for the mixed water are situated in the base disk, and the mixed water is diverted in the control disk and leaves the control cartridge via the outlet in the base disk. In order for automatic scalding protection to be integrated into the control cartridge, i.e., for the control cartridge to automatically close in the event of a scalding temperature of the mixed water, according to the invention at least one shape memory alloy (SMA) element is situated on the control disk, and takes on the temperature of the mixed water during operation of the control cartridge, and upon reaching a scalding temperature of the mixed water, expands and hereby automatically moves the control disk into the closed position in which no water arrives at the outlet, and the SMA element is supported on the one hand on the control disk and on the other hand on the housing.
