1 Pressure Independent Control Valves

2 About the Product Marflow Hydronics supplies a range of Pressure Independent Characterised Control Valves or PICCVs. They combine the functions of 3 different products - a differential pressure control valve, a regulating valve and a 2-port control valve - into a single multifunctional unit. Use of these valves in a commercial heating or cooling system allows comfort levels to be optimised at least cost, reducing ongoing energy consumption and improving the efficiency of the system to outstanding levels. Key Features & Benefits We understand that various terminal devices require various types of controls and added performance capabilities, such as increased flushing, temperature control and Energy Management, and so design our valves to meet the real needs of customers. Guaranteed performance of the system and optimisation of energy usage Late changes to building design are easily accommodated by the multi-function capability of the PICV Regula ti ntrol Valve n a lv e V g Pressur l a i e nt Co We have also pioneered new methods of commissioning to use with the valves to help speed up the process, making it easier than ever before. Diffe re We are the only company that has a complete range of PICC valves and sizes. The range consists of three different types of PICCV that have been designed for various applications in water distribution systems. PICVs help eliminate the challenging problems on-site associated with sizing 2-port control valves. They have close to 100% control valve authority, lowering pump head (compared with traditionally designed systems) and reducing energy consumption Reduced design time and risks due to the multifunction capability of the PICV Valve selection is simplified as no authority calculations are required Minimal commissioning time and reduced costs, allowing quicker building completion and handover and easier seasonal commissioning tc 2-Po r on t 3 rol Valve VALVES IN 1 A differential pressure control valve, a regulating valve and a 2-port control valve all come together to create a pressure independent control valve.

3 The Marflow Hydronics Range Marflow Hydronics supplies 3 different types of PICCVs Axial Rotary Electronic Axial Valve The Axial design valve, known as EVOPICV, is selected for a number of reasons, such as: A quick turnaround is required The BMS controller is not capable of Remote Commissioning A more traditional commissioning programme is expected The construction programme is already set Constant flow at the end of the circuit is required The valve has some great features: The rising stem design ensures that valve stroke is maintained even when the valve is pre-set (with no loss of stroke) Flow rates can be adjusted and valves locked in position, even with the actuator in place It s maintenance free and uni-directional; suitable for installation in either the flow or return pipework providing the flow direction arrow is correctly observed The valve body is manufactured in dezincification resistant brass (DZR) and is currently available in 4 sizes: DN15, DN20, DN25 and DN32 It has a large, easy to use, black hand-wheel with integrated setting ring and locking facility, used for valve setting and flow rate adjustment It is actuated by means of an electromotive actuator, a thermoelectric actuator or a TRV sensor Test points are included in the design of the EVOPICV for measurement of differential pressure in order to verify that the valve is operating correctly Rotary Valve The Rotary valve, known as EVOPICVR, is selected for a number of reasons, such as: The client requires enhanced flexibility for: o Seasonal commissioning o Flexibility on room layouts o Programmable flushing routines Intrinsic equal percentage control is required The BMS controller is Remote Commissioning capable A more engineered solution is required The valve has some great features: The valve design incorporates a characterised ball, with various profiles available to suit the design flow rate, covering standard flow, low flow and very low flow requirements Constant pressure is maintained across the valve by the diaphragm of the differential pressure controller The valve has an ISO mounting pad for quick and easy installation of actuators It is suitable for maximum flow rates between 4.7l/s and 0.61l/s The valve body is manufactured in dezincification resistant brass (DZR) in sizes DN15, DN20, DN25 and DN32 The valve is also available in sizes DN40 and DN50 in cast iron It is maintenance free and uni-directional, suitable for installation in either the flow or return pipework providing the flow direction arrow is correctly observed

4 Electronic Valve Marflow Hydronics supplies the Dynamx Electronic PICCV. It ensures dynamic pressure independent flow control in HVAC variable volume, cooling and heating systems. The valve has some great features: As the valve monitors and measures precise information on energy flows at all levels within the system, then the primary pumps can be controlled to ensure that only the correct volume of water is delivered and distributed to each floor when required Operates on a MODBUS network The valve will control flow to a desired flow set point, irrespective of system pressure conditions, when in either an analogue or digital flow control mode The unit is supplied factory configured to start-up in the commissioning mode (CX-mode), which will allow the system to be flushed without a control signal being applied Operates on AC24 volt 50Hz power supply and power consumption is 3W typical, 9W at start-up Equal percentage or linear configurable valve characteristic Supporting You Should you require further assistance our service and support team are here to help.
