<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>The <strong>Amot Controls 1096P090 thermostat element</strong> is a replacement thermostatic wax element designed for AMOT Model B thermostatic control valves. This component serves as the temperature-sensing heart of the valve, regulating fluid temperature in engine cooling, lubrication systems, and industrial process applications without external power. The element is offered in a range of temperature set points, each factory-calibrated to ensure consistent performance.</p>
<h2>Key Features</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Thermostatic wax design</strong> — Internal wax expansion automatically activates valve slider for accurate temperature control</li>
<li><strong>Preset calibration</strong> — Factory-calibrated at the ordered set point to eliminate field adjustments</li>
<li><strong>Wide temperature range</strong> — Available with set points between 12°C and 115°C to suit diverse applications</li>
<li><strong>Direct replacement</strong> — Compatible with all Model B series valve sizes (1½”, 2″, 3″, 4″, 6″, 8″)</li>
<li><strong>Maintenance-friendly</strong> — Quick element swap during scheduled overhauls extends valve service life</li>
</ul>
<h2>Technical Specifications</h2>
<p>The 1096P090 element operates on simple thermostatic principles. When fluid temperature rises above the crack-open point (typically 5°C below nominal set point), internal wax expands and pushes the piston outward. This movement opens valve ports to redirect cooler fluid and maintain the desired temperature. The element enters full-open mode approximately 10°C above set point and provides proportional control across this range. Element replacement is recommended during each major equipment overhaul to maintain system efficiency.</p>
<h2>Typical Applications</h2>
<ul>
<li>Marine and industrial engine jacket water (cooling) temperature control</li>
<li>Engine lubricating oil temperature regulation</li>
<li>Charge air cooler inlet temperature management</li>
<li>Industrial hydraulic and process fluid conditioning</li>
<li>Equipment protection against cold-start corrosion and overheating</li>
</ul>
