Optimize delta T by maintaining constant flow.
Pressure independent control valves (PICV) integrate three functions into a single device: control valve, adjustable flow limiter, and automatic pressure regulator. The automatic pressure regulator dynamically balances the circuit by maintaining a consistent flow through the valve when differential pressure changes.
Pressure Independent Control Valves
OVERVIEW
Consists of two-way threaded valves ranging from ½- to 2-inches with maximum flow settings from 0.3 to 50 gpm and flanged valves with line sizes from 2½- to 6 inches with maximum flow settings from 19 to 860 gpm. The differential pressure operating range as low as 2.3 psi to as high as 90 psi. These valves control hot and chilled water with up to 50% glycol over a temperature range of 35° F to 250° F.
FEATURES
ANSI 250 pressure class threaded valves; ANSI 125 and 250 pressure class flanged valves
Up to 200 psi close-off with ANSI Class IV (≤0.01%) leakage
Linear flow characteristic
Field adjustable maximum flow presetting
P/T ports kit (optional accessory kit for ½- to 1¼-inch valves; standard on 1½ to 6-inch valves)
Full range of actuators available
BENEFITS
Simplified valve sizing
Optimized performance for greater energy savings
Efficient installation and commissioning -- cost savings due to fewer components to install, simplified balancing and fast, trouble-free commissioning
Greater control resolution and precision due to flow limiter being independent of the stroke of the valve
Eliminates “hunting,” thus increasing actuator life due to fewer repositions
System expansions do not require re-balancing of existing system
Using P/T ports it is easy to validate that the device is operating in the design range for pressure independent functionality
APPLICATIONS
Air handling units
Baseboard/radiant heat
Central plant
Convectors
Fan coil units
Unit ventilators
VAV reheat
Free Factory Assembly & Valve Tagging
Valves and valve actuators are assembled and tagged for direct delivery to any jobsite, free of charge. All you do is specify each valve’s location when placing your initial order and we will tag them before shipping to save you installation time and expense. Please contact CCG for details.
