BALANCING & FLOW CONTROL VALVES FRESE INTRODUCTION
SCOPE This section contains an account of why it is necessary to balance a water distribution system for the distribution of heating or cooling effects, the considerations that should be made before the system is designed, the result of balancing and the difference between a static and a dynamic balancing valve. WHAT Is A BALANCED SYsTEM? Denition: A distribution system is in balance when the ow in the whole system (through the component terminal lines, distributing lines and main distributing lines) corresponds to the ow rates that were specied for the design of the system. The dimensioned hydraulic condition of operation can be simulated by means of the opening of all the valves regulating the ow depending on the temperature (room temperature, outdoor temperature or medium temperature) either as manual radiator valves, self-regulating thermostatic valves or electrically actuated valves. In practice it is recommended that balance is established by means of a number of balancing valves that can be pre-set individually to an assessed orice dimension. Together with the rest of the system they will then establish the exact ow resistances to ensure a correct distribution of the owing medium.
Figure 2.1 A Balanced section with a distributing line for three terminals. Figure 2.1 Shows an outline of a minor section of a balanced water distribution system. Referring to the gure above the distribution system is in balance when the system contains a number of regulation valves that have been pre-set to be mutually dependent so that the ow through the component terminal lines, distributing lines and main distributing lines corresponds to the ow rates that were specied for the design of the system.

In an analogue electric system the balancing valves are comparable with a variable resistance, and the resistance of the pipes with the corresponding wiring resistance, and the effective heating-/cooling surfaces with a load resistance (g. 2.2). The distribution of the electric power through the component load resistances, distributing lines and main distributing lines, depends on the distribution of the resistance in the circuit, similarly to a water distribution system. THE NEED fOR BALANCING If the correct balancing of the system has not been established, this will result in an unequal distribution of the ow, so that there will be a surplus effect in some of the terminals, whereas the effect will be inadequate in others. The result of this will be that the wanted heating/chilling will not be ensured in all parts of the installation.
Figure 2.2 An analogue electric system
In practice it is not possible to make a correctly balanced system by manipulation of the piping or alteration of the pipe dimensions only. Only a correct adjustment of the balancing valves shown in gure 2.1 will ensure the correct distribution of the ow in the system. DEsIGN CONsIDERATIONs The engineer in charge of the design and installation of a system should aim at: Substantial operating effectiveness Achievement of the required comfort at the lowest operating costs possible Avoiding unnecessary waste of energy resources. For the design and selection of equipment for the balancing and control of a system the following should be taken into consideration: (A) Type of application (B) Type of the building in question (C) The required room temperature/comfort (D) Type of the hot domestic water supply (E) Acceptable deviations from the comfort parameters (F) Minimization of the primary energy (G) Application of heat recycling (H) Economic factors The result of (C), (E) and (F) is very much dependent on the correct distribution of the ow in the system. Therefore the quality of the balancing should meet the the required comfort and energy efciency. The quality of the balancing is partly dependent on the type of the required balancing valves (static versus dynamic valves, ref. the following section), compared with the required adjustment method, and partly the design of the required components for the verication of the ow in the system. The following quality parameters should be specied during the phase of design: Type of balancing valves Adjustment method Verification of flow, where and how? Acceptable deviations of the flow

THE REsULT Of BALANCING A satisfactorily balanced installation will show the following results: Correct flow in boilers and chillers. Correct distribution of flow and effect in the whole system. Compatibility between all flow rates in primary and secondary lines. These results will ensure the following benets: The room temperature is adjustable within the specific deviations. Energy saving as a result of the favourable conditions of the equipment that controls the energy transfer. Achievement of the required indoor climate. WHY ARE BALANCING VALvEs REQUIRED? We answer that question on the basis of gure 2.3 The gure shows a schematic outline of a simple installation that contains a boiler/chiller, three identical terminals with the same ow requirement, and a pump to make the heat transfer medium, i.e. water or water/glycol circulate in the system. The top half of the diagram represents the pressure distribution throughout the schematic layout shown in the lower half of the diagram. The branch nodes are indicated on both the distribution diagram and the schematic by the small lettering.
Figure 2.3 Simple installation and its pressure distribution.
qvn = p/(R . rn), in which qv = ow p = pressure drop R = resistance of pipes, single resistances (ttings, terminals etc.) and valves n = exponent r = density
In the piping there will be friction between the owing medium and the pipe wall. This frictional loss makes the pressure decrease along the pipe in the direction of the ow. This will be seen from the falling pressure line between the branching points. The ow rate between two points is determined by the pressure differential between the points and the resistance of pipes, valves and terminals against the ow. The arithmetic coherence can be expressed by the equation to the left. The resistance of value R can be read from tables, please see the respective product catalogues. The exponent n varies in relation to the pipe sizing.

FRESE INTROdUCTION
The pressure drop Delta p1 is referred to as the index circuit. The index circuit is the circuit that has the highest resistance to ow. It is normal for this to be the circuit most remote from the pump. This pressure drop can be found by means of the equation delta p1 = R1 x (qv x r)n, in which the resistance of the terminal R1 and the wanted ow q v are known values. The pressure drop across the three identical terminals will be the same, provided the same ow is required through all of them, i.e. Delta p1 = Delta P2 = Delta p3. In order to bring about this identical pressure drop across the terminals and associated piping it is necessary to connect another resistance in series with the resistances of the terminals, so that the residual pressure drop between branching points BF and CG can be absorbed. If the installation in question is not equipped with balancing valves after terminals (2) and (3), the ow through the three terminals will vary so that terminal (3) will be exposed to the major ow, terminal (2) to a smaller ow, and terminal (1) to the smallest ow. In that case the system will not be in the required state of balance. Figure 2.4 shows the distribution of the pressure drop between branching points BF. From this you will see that the adjustment of the regulating valve to the required resistance value has to be carried out with regard to not only the terminal but also the connecting pipes. The nal adjustment is usually carried out by indirect measurement of the ow through the regulating valve simultaneously with measurement of the ow through terminal (1). The regulating valve to terminal (2) is to be adjusted to ensure that the proportion of the measured ow rates through terminals (1) and (2) is the same as the one between the indexed ow rates between the two terminals. Hereafter the valve is adjusted to terminal (3) to ensure that the proportion between the measured ow rates through terminals (3) and (2) is the same as the one between the indexed ow rates between the two terminals. This adjustment method is called the proportional method.

THE DIffERENCE bETwEEN A STATIC & A DYNAMIC BALANCING VALvE Usually you will not nd an indication of the resistance value of a valve in valve catalogues and data sheets. On the other hand, the producer always states a ow coefcient referred to as kv or C v (American products). This is also called the ow coefcient of the valve. The ow coefcient of kv is dened to be the ow of water (density 1 kg/litre) through the valve, when the differential pressure across the valve is 1 bar. The designation of this ow is m3/hour. The ow coefcient of Cv is dened as the ow of water (density 1 kg/litre) through the valve, when the differential pressure across the valve is 1 psi (lb/inch2). The designation of this ow is GPM (US gallon/min.). Hereafter the mathematic coherence between the ow and the differential pressure of the valve can be expressed as follows:
qv = kv p/rr qv in m3/hour when p is in bar (gauge) qv in GPM (US) when p is in psi qv = cv p/rr
Figure 2.5 The valve features of a static circuit balancing valve and a dynamic circuit balancing valve respectively at a given pre-adjustment value.
As regards the 2-position and balancing valves, the indicated ow coefcient of kv refers to the completely open valve. A feature of a static circuit balancing valve is that the open orice area (k value) can be changed manually and xed into a static value. The kv value can now be obtained by referring to the hand wheel position in relation to the calibration graph of the valve. The valve should be equipped with 2 pcs. isolation test plugs to which the measuring equipment for indirect ow measurement can be connected. The valve can be pre-adjusted on the basis of a calculated pressure distribution in the whole HVAC installation. Please note that the calculation of large, complex installations may involve a considerable inaccuracy. Further, the valve can be pre-adjusted on the basis of an adjustment after the installation, e.g. according to the proportional method. A dynamic circuit balancing valve is the next step in balancing valves that was introduced onto the market forty years ago. One of its features is that it can be pre-adjusted to a given ow and be locked to ensure this ow. The valve is an automatic regulator valve that with a reference to the differential pressure automatically adjusts to the kv value necessary to maintain the required ow. The kv value of the valve automatically compensates for any changes of the differential pressure, so that the ow will never exceed the pre-set ow.
These valves are available in types that have been calibrated in the factory to the rated ow, and in types the indexed ow of which can be pre-adjusted by the user before or after the installation of the valve in the system, or from the outside as the system is working. The valve can be used on the basis of the calculated ow without regard to the distribution of pressure in the system. Figure 2.5 illustrates the difference between the static and the dynamic application in the form of ow variation as a function of the differential pressure across the valves at a given pre-adjustment. As will be seen from the chart, the ow through the static valve will increase as the differential pressure increases, and decrease as the differential pressure falls, whereas the dynamic balancing valve will maintain a constant ow (within the regulation range) independently of the differential pressure within the dynamic balancing valve. Further, please note that the indexed ow (100%) through a static balancing valve will not be achieved unless the differential pressure across the valve is equal to the indexed differential pressure delta p.

WHEN ARE FLOw MEAsUREMENT DEvICEs REQUIRED? Static Systems: During the adjustment it should be possible to measure the ow through each terminal (coil in air-condition, not radiators in heating systems), distributing line, main distributing line and supply line. The measurements will typically be carried out as an indirect measurement, i.e. measurement of the differential pressure converted into a ow value in relation to the kv value of the measured device. The measurements are carried out across each circuitbalancing valve with the kv value relative to the valve setting and the associated ow chart. The accuracy of the measured ow is not likely to be better than +/- 25% dependent on the hand wheel position. This inaccuracy should be taken into consideration in connection with the verication of the ow. Still, it is of no particular importance to the relative comparison between the ow through the individual terminals and distributing lines during the balancing procedure. Dynamic Systems: Dynamic valves will typically balance the system at an accuracy of +/- 5% of the rated ow. So, as direct measurements involve a degree of accuracy of +/- 25%, it will be inappropriate to verify the ow through the individual terminals. Instead, measurement/verication of the ow in the supply line is recommended. For verication of the ow in the supply line it is recommended that a xed orice device is used with a specied accuracy which is +/- 5% above that of the measured ow. WHERE ARE BALANCING VALvEs REQUIRED? Figures 2.6 and 2.7 show a section of the same system, in which gure 2.6 has been designed as a static system, and gure 2.7 as a dynamic system. The section contains one supply line for 3 main distributing lines, each of which has 3 distributing lines with 3 terminals each (totally 27 terminals). In the static system each terminal has to be balanced in 9 groups of 3 terminals each. Hereafter the 9 terminal sections have to be balanced in 3 groups of 3 distributing lines each. After that the 3 main distributing lines have to be balanced. And nally the distributing line is adjusted to ensure the total design ow. This balancing procedure requires one balancing valve per terminal, one balancing valve per distributing line, one balancing valve per main distributing line and one balancing valve in the supply line. In the dynamic system the individual terminals can be adjusted independently of each other. This simply requires one balancing valve per terminal.

WHY UsE DYNAMIC BALANCING INsTEAD Of STATIC BALANCING? The adjustment of a dynamic system is quick and easy. All that is needed is the right pre-adjustment/balancing valve specied for the rated ow. There is no need for measurements for making comparisons between the ows of the individual balancing valves. When the features of an installation are to be calculated, the only uncertain factor will be any inaccuracy in the calculated ow rate. When a dynamic balancing valve is used the uncertainty regarding the distribution of pressure in the installation and consequently the calculated kv values of the balancing valves is eliminated. Balancing valves are only needed for the individual terminals. There is no need for balancing valves in the distribution lines, main distribution lines and supply lines. The individual terminals are 100% safe from overow without regard to the load distribution in the installation and independent of the dynamic load variation in the installation. In an properly balanced static system overow (up to 300-400%) may occur through some of the terminals. The rated ow can be changed in one or more sections of the installation without upsetting the balance in the rest of the system. If the dimensional basis of the whole system turns out to be wrong after the installation, a static system can only be re-adjusted if the whole installation is re- adjusted. The result of the adjustment is better when compared to static balancing, because the rated ow is controlled at an accuracy of +/- 5%. After the installation the system can be changed/extended/restored without regard to the changes of the balance in the existing part of the system. In a corresponding static system this would often involve a change of the total design of the system. From the foregoing, the following benets of dynamic balancing can be stated: Quick and easy adjustment Independent of errors/ unreliabilities in the calculated distribution of pressure in the installation. Fewer balancing valves 100 % safe from overflow Unproblematic re-adjustments More effective adjustment Great flexibility if the system is changed after the installation Due to these benets the features of the system design will typically be as follows: Cheaper installation Better comfort Greater flexibility More economical operation

FRESE S dYNAmIC BALANCING VALVE

APPLICATION The Frese S is an externally adjustable, tamper resistant, automatic balancing valve. Each valve can be set to deliver a range of ow rates via the handle without requiring a change of the internal cartridge. Frese S is used in heating and cooling systems for the distribution of ow in various sections of the system. The dynamic balancing valve ensures easy and reliable balancing of the system, regardless of any uctations in the differential pressure of the system. Frese S limits maximum ow in the system, and ensures the most economical operation. Can be used in both variable and constant ow systems. SPECIfICATION Housing DZR Brass DP Controller PPS 40% Glass Flow Setting PPO Spring Stainless Steel Diaghragm HNBR O-Rings EPDM Pressure Class PN25 Max. Differential Pressure 400 kPa (High Pressure) 250 kPa (Low Pressure) Temperature Range -10C to + 120C BENEfITs 1. Quick and easy selection as only ow data are required. 2. Security that the specied ow will not be exceeded. 3. Easy to install and adjust according to pre-dened ow. 4. Flexibility if the system is modied after the initial installation without changing internal cartridge. 5. Minimized commissioning time due to automatic balancing of the system. 6. High comfort for the end-users due to right balance of the hydraulic system. 7. The valves automatically nd the hydraulic balance regardless of pressure uctations in the system. 8. No main circuit or branch balancing valves needed in the system. 9. Systems with dynamic balancing are exible, as they do not require readjustment of the 'original' circuit in case the system is extended after installation. FEATUREs 1. Removable differential pressure cartridge solution simplies ushing procedure. 2. No minimum straight pipe lengths required before or after the valve. 3. Built-in optional P/T ports, with test points, for needle system. 4. Easy adjustment of the ow by the lockable handle without changing internal cartridge. 5. Flow rate tolerance +/-5%. 6. Differential pressure operating range up to 400 kPa or 250 kPa (DN15-DN25 Low pressure). 7. The handle is for the adjustment of ow. Use a partner isolation ball valve to shut off ow.

SPECIfICATION The valve should be a automatic balancing valve with the option of setting the ow without interference of operation. The valve should include P/T plugs for the verication of differential pressure. The valve should only be adjustable by means of a lockable handle. FUNCTION The operation of the Frese S can be simplied by breaking it down into its two main components, a pre-adjustment unit and a differential pressure control unit. The Frese S valves, react to pressure uctations so that the differential pressure across the pre-adjustment unit is kept constant. In that way a max. ow limit is ensured in accordance with the design. FLOw CHARACTERIsTIC The illustration shows how the ow in a Frese S valve reacts in accordance to the pump pressure. For comparison we have added the typical ow characteristic for a static balancing valve. The differential pressure unit of the valve will work as soon as the differential pressure provided by the pump is sufcient. Consequently, the rated ow is maintained regardless of any pressure uctuations in the system.

SETTING THE VALvE The valve is easily set and the pre-setting is read on the scale on the handle. See ow rate graphs attached for settings. NOTE: the scale is for the adjustment of ow. If you want to shut off ow you should use a partner isolation ball valve. The handle can be locked after adjustment. Remove the cap marked 'Frese' and tighten with 5mm hexagonal key. DIMENsIONs - mm

FLOw VERIfICATION The ow through the valve can be identied by measuring the differential pressure (p) across the valve: - If the measured differential pressure is above the minimum p, the ow is the one stated on the graph for the valve. - If the measured differential pressure is below the minimum p, the ow can be found by using the formulas below. FLOw CALCULATION
Q = kV p Q = kV 100 p Q = m3/h p = Bar Q = L/h p = kPa
Q = kV p 36
Q = L/s p = kPa
Measurement of the differential pressure across the valve.
FLOw RATE EXAMPLE FREsE S, DN15 Rated ow 500 L/h - 0,0139 L/s 1. The rated ow is used as the point of reference for the overall rating of dynamic systems. (See the graph) 2. The pre-setting for the valve is found by means of the ow rate graph. Setting = 5.2. 3. To the right in the graph you will see the minimum differential pressure required from the pump by each valve. Requires 18,3 kPa.

FRESE OpTImA pRESSURE INdEpENdENT CONTROL & BALANCING VALVE

APPLICATION Frese OPTIMA pressure independent control valve (PICV) is used in heating and cooling systems in applications with Fan Coil Units, Air Handling Units or other terminal unit applications. Frese OPTIMA provides modulating control with full authority regardless of any uctuations in the differential pressure of the system. Frese OPTIMA combines an externally adjustable automatic balancing valve, a differential pressure control valve and a full authority modulating control valve. Frese OPTIMA makes it simple to achieve 100% control of the water ow in the building, while creating high comfort and energy savings at the same time. An additional benet is that no balancing is required if further stages are added to the system, or if the dimensioned capacity is changed. DEsIGN FEATUREs 1. Less time to dene the necessary equipment for a hydraulic balanced system (only ow data are required). 2. No need to calculate valve authority. The constant differential pressure across the modulating control component guarantees 100% authority. 3. Flexibility if the system is modied after the initial installation. 4. No further regulating valves required in the distribution pipework when Frese OPTIMA is installed at terminals. 5. Total number of valves minimized due to the 3-in-1 design. 6. Minimized commissioning time due to automatic balancing of the system. 7. Removable cartridge solution simplies ushing procedure. 8. No minimum straight pipe lengths required before or after the valve. 9. High comfort for the end-users due to high precision temperature control. 10. Longer life due to less movements of the actuator. 11. Less energy consumption due to faster response and increased system stability. 12. The presetting function has no impact on the stroke; Full stroke modulation at all times, regardless the preset ow. 13. Automatic balancing eliminates overows, regardless of uctuating pressure conditions in the system. 14. Electrical actuator 0-10 V and 3 point control, normally closed. 15. Differential pressure operating range up to 400 kPa. 16. High ows with minimal required differential pressure due to advanced design of the valve. 17. More accurate control due to long 5mm stroke. 18. Higher presetting precision due to stepless analogue scale.

DEsIGN The design of Frese OPTIMA combines high performance with small size and compact construction. The main components of the valve are: 1. The pressure control cartridge 2. The modulating control component 3. The presetting scale (not accessible when the actuator is mounted) 4. The P/T plugs (optional) 5. The electrical actuator COMMIssIONING The Frese Optima is delivered to Australian customers with a commissioning cap and the pressure control cartridge installed. The commissioning cap keeps the modulating component in a fully open position to aid the ushing process. For automatic balancing valves a backush is recommended as a forward ush with the pressure control cartridge installed will begin to operate and limit the ow to the valves maximum owrate. During ushing the valve must be in the fully open position. Tags, labels, and a presetting list can be supplied with each valve upon request. At this point the user can then adjust the presetting dial to the design ow. Once the ow is set, the actuator can be mounted (this also prevents tampering of the presetting) and the valve is ready to operate. Pre-settings can be checked simply via ow vs. presetting graphs page 3.38 to 3.42.

Flow Rate vs. Differential Pressure (Preset ow: 625 l/h, 300 l/h)
Flow (l/h)
OPERATION PRINCIPLE The innovative design of Frese OPTIMA introduces a modulating control component that retains 100% authority at all times. With the Frese OPTIMA, there are two independent movements for the presetting and the modulating function. During presetting, the inlet area moves radially without interfering with the length of the stroke. During modulating, the inlet area moves axial taking advantage of the full stroke. In the example, the ow is modulated throughout the full range from 10 to 0V regardless of the preset ow (i.e. 625 l/h or 300 l/h). Whilst the control component provides proportional modulation irrespective of the preset ow, the automatic balancing cartridge guarantees that the ow will never exceed the maximum preset ow. Regardless of pressure uctuation in the system, the maximum ow is kept constant up to a maximum differential pressure of 400kPa.

FRESE CIRCON+/TEmCON+ ThERmOSTATIC VALVE

APPLICATION CirCon+ and TemCon+ are control valves designed for domestic hot water installations with circulation. The valves automatically control the temperature of the water that circulates through the valves. Thus the thermal balance is ensured throughout the domestic hot water system. The valve is adjusted on a scale to a desired temperature in the interval between 37C and 65C. TemCon+ is equipped with a by-pass located outside the thermal part of the valve. So, TemCon+ is suited for hot water installations with bacterial problems, eg Legionella. Here a procedure of raising the temperature of the water to between 70C and 80C is carried out at certain intervals.

The thermostatic element is located out of contact with the circulating water, and its dry location prevents scale problems. 2. The setting of the valves is stepless between 37C and 65C at an accuracy of +/-2C. 3. Each valve is calibrated seperately. 4. The valves are coated with tin/nickel, which is an anticorrosive coating. 5. TemCon+ has a by-pass for high-temperature operation from 70C to 80C. 6. TemCon+ by-pass adjustment occurs by hand or actuator.

OPERATION PRINCIPLE - CIRCON+ THERMAL CONTROL Circon+ controls on the basis of the temperature of the water that circulates through the valve. If the valve is set to a temperature of e.g. 50C, and the temperature of the circulating water is under 50C, the valve opens. If the temperature is over 50C, the valve closes. To Set The temperature setting is between 37C and 65C. Remove the cap, and the temperature is easily set by a screwdriver as shown here. APPLICATION EXAMPLE - CIRCON+

DIMENsIONING EXAMPLE The CirCon+ and TemCon+ is dimensioned on the basis of the thermal loss in the circuit, in which it is located. Example In an installation with 4 oors and basement a circulation line is dimensioned. The following parameters should be known for the calculation of the ow rate. Length of Pipe 30m, total length of pipe controlled by thermostatic valve. Thermal Loss 9 W/m of pipe, Thermal loss in an external 27mm pipe with 30mm insulation and a difference of 40C between room temperature and temperature of uid. Temp Differential 5C, temperature in hotwater tank is 55C. The CirCon+ was set to 50C on the scale. The ow rate can be found from the following formula: Q = (30m x 9W/m) x 0.86 = 46 l/h 5C DIMENsIONs - mm TEMCON+

So, the total quantity of water from 3 delivery pipes to the circulating pump is approx. 138 l/h (3 x 46) The Kv-value of the thermostatic valve at 46l/h and a differential pressure of 10 kPaD across the valve can be found from the following formula: Kv = Q SQRT(Dp) = (46/SQRT 10)/100 = 0.15
OPERATION PRINCIPLE - TEMCON+ CONTROL AT TwO OPERATING TEMPERATUREs TemCon+ was designed to control two sets of temperatures: Normal Operating Temperature Normal operation occurs at temperatures from approx. 50C to 60C. That is economic operation at low precise ow rates, which ensures a high level of comfort at all draw off taps and exact termperature in all circuits. High Operating Temperature High operating temperature is used at intervals for the pasteurization of domestic water at 70C to 80C. To Set The plastic cap is dismantled by means of a screwdriver that ts into the slot in the cap. Then the manually operated by-pass can be set steplessly to a Kv-value between 0.0 and 0.3.

The control during high temperature operation occurs as the actuator mounted on the by-pass opens to a fixed Kv-value of 0.3.

It is recommendable to install pressure test points on both sides of the critical TemCon+ valve in the installaton for the verification of differential pressure.
DIMENsIONING EXAMPLE During normal operation the TemCon+ is dimensioned in the same way as the Circon+. TemCon+ - Actuated by-pass The automatic heater or BMS opens the by-pass to a xed Kv-value of 0.3, continuing with the above example: Length of Pipe 30m, same as above. Thermal Loss 14 W/m of pipe, same pipe as above except with temperature difference of 60C. Temp Differential 8C, temperature in hotwater tank is 80C and temperature after TemCon+ is 72C. The ow rate for TemCon+ by-pass: Q = (30m x 14W/m) x 0.86 = 45 l/h 8C The minimum differential pressure of the TemCon+ valve at Kv 0.3: Dp = [45 / (0.3 x 1000)]2 = 2 kPaD Hydraulic Balance: The application of a circulating pump with proportional control of the pump pressure is recommended if a xed Kv-value of 0.3 is too much for the installation so that the hydraulic balance is upset. The pump compensates for increased ow by increasing the differential pressure. TemCon+ - Adjustable by-pass On the basis of the example above: Q = (30m x 14W/m) x 0.86 = 45 l/h 8C
The differential pressure across the TemCon+ at the given location in the system should be known in order to nd the value of the adjustable by-pass. Here we use 35 kPaD across the valve and Kv can be found as follows: Kv = Q = (0.045/SQRT 0.35) = 0.08 SQRT(Dp) Normal Operation: During normal operation is tis recommended to close the adjustable by-pass to gain all the benets of the thermal control of the TemCon+ valve.
