Self-Actuating Thermal Control Solutions
Built on decades of expertise in phase-change wax actuation, our self-actuating technologies provide predictable temperature-responsive control without external power or electronics.
We work directly with engineers, OEMs, and defense contractors to evaluate operating conditions, understand system requirements, and configure solutions for fluid control, thermal management, and mechanical actuation. From standard products to custom designs, our engineering, manufacturing, testing, and quality teams work together to deliver reliable solutions.
Avionics & Electronics Cooling
Maintain proper operating temperatures within liquid cooling systems for mission computers, radar, sensors, and power electronics using thermostatic mixing and diverting valves and cartridge solutions. These self-actuating devices regulate coolant flow based on temperature to maintain thermal stability and protect critical electronic components.
Explore ApplicationFuel & Oil Thermal Management
Regulate fluid temperature in engine oil coolers, fuel systems, heat exchangers, and lubrication circuits using thermostatic thermal bypass, mixing, and diverting valves. Temperature-responsive fluid control helps shorten warm-up times, optimize thermal efficiency, and protect critical system components.

Thermal Actuation
Convert temperature change into controlled mechanical motion without external power using wax actuators. A compact design with a high force-to-size ratio provides reliable actuation for release mechanisms, doors, vents, latches, and other passive applications.
Explore ApplicationGalley Scald Protection
Automatically temper hot water supplied to aircraft galleys to help protect personnel from accidental scalding. Our thermostatic scald protection valves continuously monitor water temperature and interrupt flow when temperatures exceed the valve’s set point.
Explore Application
Naval Shipyard Freeze Protection
Protect piping and water systems from freeze damage using self-actuating freeze protection valves. The valve opens as temperatures approach freezing to drain the cold water and modulates closed as warmer supply water flows through the valve, reducing water consumption, eliminating manual intervention, and protecting critical infrastructure.

Get Answers to Your Aerospace and Defense Questions
How do self-actuating thermal actuators work?
ThermOmegaTech® thermal actuators use proprietary Thermoloid® phase-change wax technology to convert temperature change directly into mechanical motion. This self-actuating design eliminates the need for external power while providing predictable, repeatable operation.
What are the advantages of self-actuating thermostatic valves?
Self-actuating thermostatic valves regulate fluid flow based solely on temperature, eliminating the need for external power or electronic controls. Their direct mechanical response provides predictable, repeatable operation while reducing system complexity and maintenance requirements. A compact, lightweight design, low SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power), and resistance to shock and vibration make them well suited for applications where reliability and space are critical.
What aerospace and defense applications use thermostatic valves?
ThermOmegaTech® thermostatic valves support a wide range of aerospace and defense thermal management applications, including avionics liquid cooling, fuel and oil cooler assemblies for military aircraft, hydraulic cold-start bypass systems for military vehicles, aircraft ground support equipment, environmental control systems for spacecraft, and electronics cooling for radar and missile systems. Our thermal actuators also support passive actuation applications such as UAV vent door control.
Can ThermOmegaTech® customize thermal control solutions for my application?
Yes. Whether configuring an existing product or developing a custom valve, cartridge, or thermal actuator, our engineering, manufacturing, testing, and quality teams work directly with your team to deliver reliable solutions.
