ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLABLE VALVE CARTRIDGE AND MIXING VALVE ASSEMBLY
An electronically controllable mixing valve cartridge, having at least two fluid inlets and at least one fluid outlet, at least one movable valve member and at least one actuator configured to move the or each movable valve member in a manner that controls the flow of fluid from each of the at least two fluid inlets and to the at least one fluid outlet, at least one temperature sensor situated within the valve cartridge and within a fluid flow path that flows between the at least one movable valve member and the at least one fluid outlet, and an electronic control system situated within the valve cartridge and configured for receiving inputs from an input device and adapted to receive inputs from the or each temperature sensor and to control the operation of the or each actuator to achieve a selected fluid temperature at the at least one fluid outlet when in use, wherein the valve cartridge includes a mixing chamber that is situated downstream of the or each movable valve member and upstream of the at least one temperature sensor, and which is configured to receive at least two separate fluid flows, one originating from each fluid inlet, and the at least two separate fluid flows are introduced separately into the mixing chamber in a manner that produces a swirling motion within the mixing chamber.
