Spartan supplies Norwich University a perfect retrofit solution Since 1866, a valley within the Green Mountains of Vermont in the town of Northfield, Washington County has been the home of Norwich University. Norwich University is special within the town of Northfield, not just because it is the main employer of the town but also of its longstanding heritage and the two diverse curriculums it offers.
In March of 2010 when the University had to perform a control project they looked at what would keep Norwich University as integral as possible. The University had in place Honeywell Braukmann zone control valves with thermostatic actuators. They wanted to convert in to electric controls and had 2 choices: they could replace the entire valve assembly which would mean perhaps going against the integrity of the campus and high labor costs, or they could retrofit the actuators and keep as much originality as possible. Unfortunately Honeywell no longer provided electric actuators that would fit on to the original valve bodies. Norwich University found their solution in Spartan Peripheral Devices. For 200 valve assemblies Spartan delivered our AV10 retrofit kit. (Yoke adaptor for Honeywell Braukmann V110 40mm valve to Spartan actuators) and our ME1601 (24vac, Direct acting, PWM, fail stem up, Thermoelectric actuator). Spartan dos not stop there! If in the future the university requires to service this original valve bodies Spartan can deliver EBH110 packing/plunger kit for direct replacement of the valve body internals.
