More than a century of steam control

For 110 + years , Horne Engineering Ltd has pioneered thermostatic control technology using steam and hot water for a variety of storage and process applications across a variety of industries : food and drink production , brewing , dairy , abattoirs , chemical manufacturing , pharmaceutical and cosmetics production , industrial laundries and dishwashing , as well as for packaging processing and manufacture .
For large volume , instantaneous hot water production , for wash-down or rapid vat / tank filling applications , use the Horne Steam-Water Mixing Valve . Both thermostatic and pressure balanced , the SWM1 is the world ’ s safest , most accurate and reliable valve of its type for delivering non-storage , temperature controlled hot water .
The Horne Steam Injection Heater , SIH , is often used in conjunction with the Horne EA-1 ‘ Standard Valve ’. As the world ’ s first automatic steam control valve , invented in 1909 , the EA-1 provides accurate temperature control of hot water storage vessels . The SIH enables very rapid and highly efficient heating of cold water ; tiny bubbles of steam are injected directly into the cold water where they collapse , releasing both real and latent heat . The steam bubbles are sized such that the SIH operates with minimal noise and vibration and , because there are no moving parts , it requires zero maintenance .
