NEW VALVE PROVIDES ULTIMATE IN FREEZE PROTECTION
CUSTOMER CHALLENGE
Various systems on a passenger train require a water supply, from the buffet car to the carriage toilets. When a train is not in service (overnight), water left in the system can freeze, either damaging the system or preventing the train from being started. Components have been developed over the years to automatically drain the water when the train is out of service, if the temperature falls towards zero. Many of these systems are unreliable.
