Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of controlling at least one of the flow rate or temperature of outlet water from a mixing valve having a first control valve configured to receive water at a first temperature and a second control valve configured to receive water at a second temperature higher than the first temperature includes moving at least one of the first or second flow control valves to output a flow of water from the mixing valve having at least one of a desired flow rate or temperature, wherein the force required to actuate the flow control valves is substantially independent of water flow.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of controlling at least one of the flow rate or temperature of outlet water from a mixing valve having a housing, a first control valve configured to control the flow of water at a first temperature from a first inlet of the housing to a mixing chamber, and a second control valve configured to control the flow of water at a second temperature higher than the first temperature from a second inlet of the housing to the mixing chamber, the method compri…
