Sizing - Directly connected heating system Example 1 Motorised control valve (MCV) for mixing circuit in direct-connected heating system requires differential pressure of 0,3 bar (30 kpa) and flow less than 600 l/h. Given data: Q max = 0,6 m 3 /h (600 l/h) p min = 0,9 bar (90 kpa) p circuit = 0,1 bar (10 kpa) p MCV = 0,3 bar (30 kpa) selected p ) b = 0, bar (0 kpa) Remark: p circuit corresponds to the required pump pressure in the heating circuit and is not to be considered when sizing the AFQ. ) p b is differential pressure over flow restrictor. The total (available) pressure loss across the controller is: p AFQ,A = p min p MCV = 0,9 0,3 p AFQ,A = 0,6 bar (60 kpa) Possible pipe pressure losses in tubes, shut-off fittings, heatmeters, etc. are not included.

Resulting pressures are being transferred through the impulse tubes to the actuator chambers and act on control diaphragm for flow control. The flow restrictor diff. pressure is controlled and limited by means of built-in spring for flow rate control. Control valve closes on rising differential pressure and opens on falling differential pressure to control max flow. Settings Flow setting Flow setting is being done by the adjustment of the flow restrictor position. The adjustment can be performed on the basis of flow adjustment diagram (see relevant instructions) and/or by the means of heat meter. 8 VD.CA.O3.0 Danfoss 01/015 DEN-SMT/SI
