More Information
Summary:A heated valve is provided and includes a valve body (11) having an inlet (110), an outlet (111) downstream from the inlet (110) and a valve section (112) fluidly interposed between the inlet (110) and the outlet (111), a valve element (12) operably disposed within the valve section (112) to assume and move between at least a first position at which fluid communication between the inlet (110) and the outlet (111) is prevented by the valve element (12) and a second position at which the fluid communication is permitted and a heating system (13). The heating system (13) is in operable communication with at least one of the valve body and the valve element (12) and is configured to melt ice that could prevent movement of the valve element (12) between the first and second positions.
