Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2679918A1] The present application discloses a method for automatically determining the connection of inlets of a mixing valve in view of a low temperature fluid inlet and a high temperature fluid inlet. The method comprises: operating, by a motor, an obturator to a first position; providing, by a temperature sensor, at least a first temperature value to a controller; operating, by the motor, the obturator to a second position; providing, by the temperature sensor, at least a second temperature value to the controller; determining, by the controller, a mutual relationship between at least two of the provided temperature values; and determining, by the controller and based on the determined mutual relationship, which of the first inlet and the second inlet being connected to the low temperature fluid inlet and the high temperature fluid inlet, respectively. The present application also discloses an actuator for performing the method, and a system.
