Mixing valve with temperature controlled motive means:
(under subclass 12.1) Apparatus comprising flow control means positively moved to an adjusted position by a motor means wherein the motor means is moved to the adjusted position by a medium or force controlled by but not resulting directly from a sensed temperature condition or a change in such a condition.
(1) Note. Examples of motors to be found herein are electric motors controlled by thermostatic switches, fluid motors with independent sources of fluid pressure where a thermal responsive valve senses a system conditions and regulates fluid flow from said source to motor.
(2) Note. A valve merely moved by a heat motor which directly senses a system condition and responds to move a valve, e.g., bimetal, closed fluid system with sensing bulb, etc., will not be found herein.
