Electronically Controllable Valves and Mixing Valves

Abstract

Abstract An electronically controllable mixing valve cartridge, the valve cartridge having; at least two fluid inlets and at least one fluid outlet, at least one temperature sensor, at least one movable valve member and at least one actuator configured to move the or each movable valve member, and an electronic control system configured for receiving inputs from an input device and adapted to receive inputs from the or each temperature sensor and to control the operation of the or each actuator, and the valve cartridge is characterised in that the valve cartridge has a single substantially flat mating face that includes the at least two fluid inlets and the at least one fluid outlet, and the valve cartridge is configured such that a mechanical fastening system is used to hold the mating face of the valve cartridge securely to a complimentary fixable valve fitting to form a leak resistant seal between the mating face and the fixable valve fitting. 20 26 20 60 87 15 J ul 2 02 6 2 0 2 6 2 0 6 0 8 7 1 5 J u l 2 0 2 6
