Reworking the Design

What’s good y’all!

So the first of the design hiccups happened this week. With a limited budget, our prototype needs to work and fit within our budget, so we have a couple changes that we are making. Our valve that we originally intended to use would blow up the budget so we decided to pick a new one!

3-Way Temperature Control Valve
AMOT G-Valve

The above valve was the one that we originally would’ve liked to use. It is a mixing/diverter valve that has multiple purposes so it was a pretty solid choice. Turns out it didn’t work like we wanted to! We bounced some ideas off the guys over at AMOT, but when it came down to it, the valve just wouldn’t keep up with the purpose we had in mind for it.

Anyways, our search continues and we will find something that works!

See y’all next week!

PS. Check out this video on the G-Valve, it’s a fantastic piece of equipment!
