Features and Benefits
DPCV - SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO
OPTIMISE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
Extremely efficient, the DPCV is set to a maximum
differential pressure limit, under dynamic balancing
conditions, which ensures flow cannot exceed a desired
rate. It therefore helps reduce energy consumption, the
risk of noise and simplifies the commissioning process.
The EPM diaphragm, which separates the upper and
lower chamber of the valve, in combination with the
balanced piston is key to stabilising differential pressure
within the system. The rubber-seated piston, controlled
by the diaphragm, closes the valve on rising differential
pressure and opens it on falling differential pressure. The
valve will continue to move in this way until equilibrium of
pressure is achieved. This ensures the maximum desired
flow rates or differential pressures are not exceeded.
Installing a DPCV in a system to control differential
pressure, can also help to minimise the risk of noise.
Installing a DPCV in a circuit ensures the system remains
balanced, independent from any changes in other areas
of the circuit, which greatly simplifies the balancing and
commissioning procedure. It also maintains the control
authority of the 2 port control valve.
Available in sizes from DN15 to DN50, in flow and return
configurations, the DPCV operates at a temperature
range of -10C to 100C and is PN16 rated. The pressure
differential is set on installation, across a 20 to 100 kPa
range, and can be easily adjusted on commissioning as
required by the changing conditions.
Hattersley highly recommends the use of a companion
valve as a part of the circuit. As well as providing
standard flow measuring and regulating features, the
companion valve has an integral tapping point for an
impulse tube to link the valve and the DPCV.

Diaphragm
Separates and balances the upper and
lower chambers and therefore the
differential pressure. The Diaphragm
reacts quickly to fluctuation in pressure.

Impulse Tube
Bosses enable fitting

Alongside the DPCV, an impulse tube and

adapter are supplied as standard. It is
essential to the valves performance as it
taps pressure from the other side of the
circuit and links it to the valves chambers.
