Working principle of the thermostatic divertor valve : The supply enters the bottom of the valve and exits to the right until the temperature in the system reaches the set temperature . Once the set temperature is reached , the valve then diverts the flow to the opposite side of the valve . In a heat pump system this is ideal for keeping the colder water in a heating loop until the desired temperature is attained . The heated water then gets dumped into the top of the storage vessel . Because the hot water is dumped into the top of the vessel the stratification present in the vessel is not disturbed and gives the best user comfort .
