Hi,
this is going to sound very basic but i need the wizards help. so im wiring up a classic car heater and am thinking of using a 12V electric ball valve to control the water flow of the engines coolant to pass into the heater matrix. I would like to control the proportional adjustment of the valve using a potentiometer; so as i rotate the pot the valve opens gradually and allows more or less water into the heater matrix thus giving me temperature control of the air being blown into the car. the car has a 12/14v battery.
The specs of the valve are below:
Model Number CTF001 Modulating type
Rated Voltage 12V
Working Current <200ma
Output torque MAX 6Nm
Full on off time <30s
Control Mode 4-20ma
working pressure 1mpa
power <5W
medium temperate 0-95 degrees celcius
IP 65 rated
I'm confused as to how this would be wired up and what rated pot i would use. Ive attached a picture of the valves wiring diagram which is in Chinese english lol so is hard to make sense. if someone could take a look and guide me in the right direction.
looking forward to having my mind cleared up
