Bad Installation - Danfoss TRV

Hi Folks:

We just had a Danfoss non-electric TRV with remote sensor installed in a problem room that used to get too hot. The plumbers installed the valve vertically in place of the steam valve which is wrong according to the Danfoss web site and Dan H. The valve overheats therefore the room is always cold. These guys have straightened out the rest of our steam system but I think they are wrong this time. Please help. Thanks.

    Steve,
    First question, did they install the 1 pipe steam valve where your air vent used to be or one on the inlet piping? One pipe steam is a different animal and does not take the "normal" Danfoss valve, I've attached a data sheet for you to look at.
    With the remote sensor, make sure the sensor is not being influenced by another heat source, i.e. return line, steam line, computer fan etc. The sensor has 6 feet of capillary tube on it so you should be able to mount it where it will sense room temperature.
    Good luck
