Operate Your Systems Effectively with Precise Temperature Control

Manage your thermal challenges with ThermOmegaTech’s thermostatic technology. These phase-change thermal actuators respond to precise temperatures, offering reliable, reproducible movement for multiple actuation or single-use operations. With a durable, pressure-independent design, they minimize part failures and extend service life. Their low SWaP profile makes them ideal for various aerospace heating, cooling, and control/activation applications. Our high-output paraffin actuators (HOPA) excel in harsh environments, including spacecraft, satellites, and deep-sea vehicles.

    00:00:07 ineffective thermal management can cause component degradation and system failure in many Aerospace and defense applications to maintain consistent temperatures and keep systems operating at Peak Performance designers are turning to self-powered thermostatic technology thermomegatex thermostatic Valves and actuators utilize paraffin wax phase change technology to convert a

    00:00:30 temperature change into a mechanical force the temperature at which the wax changes phase is repeatable reliable and customizable providing a compact design and low size weight and power are self-powered actuator devices are often the ideal solution for Extreme Design challenges the unique quality of paraffin wax is its predictability each actuator blend

    00:00:54 produces a controlled volume change within a narrow temperature range in the cold position the wax is solid and the Piston is retracted as the temperature increases to the wax active range the wax melts and expands into the hot position the expansion extends the Piston producing a usable stroke used to open or close a valve stem or other mechanical device

    00:01:17 thermal actuators can be integrated into a valve body or cartridge to automatically Supply consistent fluid temperatures to a heating or cooling system by continuously regulating the temperature an example of this is our mixing and diverting valves when installed in mixing mode the valve will modulate between the hot and cold Inlet ports to produce a desired output

    00:01:39 temperature in diverting mode the valve will modulate open to divert Inlet flow through a heat exchanger or close to bypass it to a reservoir based on fluid temperature our actuators are designed to respond within narrow temperature range which varies depending on the chemical composition of the wax pellet

    00:02:00 thermostatic wax actuator technology is also incredibly flexible its parameters can be molded to fit unique temperature control projects thermomegatex thermal actuators are suitable for applications with required actuation temperatures in the range of 20 degrees Fahrenheit to 270 degrees Fahrenheit custom Blended wax actuators can be made for extended temperature

    00:02:23 ranges or to produce different Force ratios customizations can be made to a thermostatic valve size springstone material and weight ratios to suit your application we can also design valve cartridges or actuators to integrate into your custom manifolds A System's external environment can significantly affect its component's

    00:02:47 performance for the Space Age systems must be designed for high reliability and or long service life depending on the application self-powered devices not affected by pressure changes that can withstand harsh conditions and Achieve many cycles like high output paraffin thermal actuators are ideal for this and similar hazardous environments the Simplicity of

    00:03:12 thermal actuators allows for a lightweight design which increases service life and minimizes part failures for a long lasting and reliable thermal control solution trust thermomagatex thermostatic technology
