Thermal Fluid Mizer®

The no-leak answer for any thermal fluid system.

Worcester Thermal Fluid Mizer® is a high temperature ball valve designed specifically to handle thermal fluids at temperatures up to 650^oF** at 30 psi. A unique combination of body and ball material and seat/seal package guarantees positive, leak-tight shut-off in thermal service applications.

The standard handle for smaller valves through 2" is a stainless steel oval handle. In addition, the 1/4" - 2" three-piece and 1/4" - 1 1/2" full port three- piece Thermal Fluid Mizers are equipped with an optional V-48 extension handle. This rugged bracket and oval handle combination is designed to rise above pipe insulation to keep hands away from the heat in conformance with OSHA safety standards. The sturdy linkage also extends valve packing life by eliminating side load on the stem seal. Large three piece flanged and wafer versions of the Thermal Fluid Mizer are also available to suit your process needs.

TheThermal Fluid Mizer is backed by worcester's 120 day guarantee against leakage. Unlike gate and globe valves often used for this service, the therrnal Fluid Mizer does not leak expensive thermal fluid around the stem. No leaks means reduced maintenance time, no slippery floors, no odor, no fluid degradation from exposure to air, and no waste. The valve's carbon steel body with stainless steel ball and stem, Polyfill® and High-per Fill® seats and PTFE coated metal "S" body seals make the Thermal Fluid Mizer rugged enough to handle pressure and temperature requirements of thermal fluid service with ease. Polyfill seats are standard, High-per Fill seats are used for pressure/temperature conditions beyond the capabilities of Polyfill.

Applications

At temperatures above 400^oF, thermal fluids are more economical than steam because of significantly lower pressures required. Thermal service appli cations are found in small boiler installations (hospitals, laundries, etc.) and also in very large industrial plants where there are central process heating units and waste heat recovery operations.
