Freeze and Scald Protection Valves

Continuation of the many uses of F Series Freeze Protection Valves

The Ogontz Type F valve provides positive freeze protection by draining the system when the fluid temperature approaches a critical temperature. The F/FG series can also be part of most applications that involve automatic control of fluids, such as glycol, oil, light chemicals, etc.

This intermittent operation provides substantial savings in water and sewer costs, making the F/FG series valve an ideal, economical replacement for systems with manually operated block valves that open seasonally.

Freeze & Scald Protection for an Emergency Shower
Installation of FP and FPR series valves (direct and reverse acting) provides both freeze and scald protection for emergency showers and eyewash stations.

Freeze Protection For A Maritime Pier
An AF series valve can be used to bleed fluid from an exposed water line when the external air temperature drops toward freezing, thus preventing ice from forming and blocking fluid flow.

Three Key Applications For Freeze Protection

Using fluid temperature sensing valves for automatic freeze protection & fluid temperature control is the most economical way to protect outdoor pipelines and vessels from expensive freeze damage. A thermal actuator automatically opens the valve before the temperature of the fluid drops to the freezing point. By bleeding the fluid in the system only when the danger of a freeze-up exists, the valve delivers positive freeze protection with minimal waste.

Winterization of Exposed Overhead Pipes

Use an F series valve to winterize an exposed overhead pipe and freeze-protect a water supply or fire line. Please note this is only for the internal sensing of fluid temperature.

Freeze Protection of a Condensate System

Installed on a condensate receiver, the F series valve provides positive freeze protection by draining the condensate system when fluid temperature approaches a preset critical temperature.

Freeze & Scald Protection of a Water-Cooled Air Compressor

FGR series valve installed on a water-cooled compressor. The FGR valve senses cooling water outlet temperature and throttles to maintain optimum compressor temperature. Thus, water consumption is minimized, and equipment life maximized.
