Temperature Control Valves

Why choose a Temperature Control Valve?

A balancing and temperature control valve is a 2-in-1 solution combining a control valve and a balancing valve working unaffected of system pressure changes. The benefit of this solution is that the actuator controls with full stroke length directly over the balancing insert.

With a simple control valve balancing is not included, but rotating actuator and built-in flow Optimizer® provide accurate equal percentage control.

How does a Balancing & Temperature Control Valve work?

The balancing and temperature control valves combine the control function and the dynamic balancing function in one unit.

• Control

Commonly, this valve type is fitted with a thermal ON/OFF actuator. Hence, the control function of the valve, as with any other ON/OFF 2-port control valve, allows design flow (100% load) or closed valve (0% load). By controlling the flow rate using full stroke based on room occupancy, energy consumption is optimized.
It is also possible to fit an electrical modulating actuator with this type.

• Balancing

The key to the optimal solution is to choose a real dynamic balancing valve and with the simple and tamper-proof all stainless steel insert, design flow is obtained independent of system pressure changes. The balancing unit also allows accessible for easy change out, service or maintenance.

How does a Temperature Control Valve work?

The simple temperature control valves include only the control function.

• Control

Commonly, this valve type is fitted with an electrical 90° rotation actuator working either modulating or digital. The FlowCon 2-way or 3-way valve solution offers a range of flow Optimizer®s. Due to selected built-in Optimizer®, the control function of the valve allows accurate and true equal percentage flow characteristic to the coil.
