advance balancing valves

Pressure Independent Control Valves (PICV) – Efficient Flow & Temperature Control Pressure Independent Control Valves (PICVs) are advanced HVAC components designed to maintain a constant flow rate regardless of system pressure fluctuations. These valves incorporate a diaphragm-type Differential Pressure Control Valve (DPCV), which ensures a stable differential pressure across the valve orifice. As long as the pressure remains within operating limits, the PICV delivers consistent and accurate flow. Beyond these limits, it functions similarly to a fixed orifice valve. PICVs are highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications due to the availability of multiple actuator options. They feature a high-precision, large-diameter lockable handwheel with a simple linear scale, allowing easy and accurate flow adjustment—even when an actuator is installed. The full-stroke equal percentage control characteristic ensures excellent temperature regulation under varying load conditions. One of the biggest advantages of PICVs is cost efficiency. By combining multiple functions into a single valve, they eliminate the need for separate balancing valves, temperature control valves, and differential pressure control valves. This significantly reduces capital investment and simplifies system design. Installation is also easier as these valves can be directly close-coupled with terminal units. PICVs improve system performance by reducing circuit interactivity and removing the need for complex authority calculations. Commissioning becomes faster and more straightforward, as no proportional balancing is required. The result is enhanced controllability, improved energy efficiency, and better occupant comfort through precise temperature control. Typical Applications: Fan Coil Units Chilled Beams (Active & Passive) Radiant Panels & Radiators Heater Batteries Small Air Handling Units Heat Recovery Units Over-door Heaters PICVs are an ideal solution for modern HVAC systems requiring reliability, efficiency, and simplified operation.

They feature precise double regulation with flow measurement accuracy within 2.5D or less, along with valve ratings of PN16 and PN20 (higher pressure ratings available on request). The high-performance butterfly valve design ensures positive shut-off, while EPDM seals provide durability and leak-proof operation. Constructed with stainless steel components for critical parts, these valves offer long-lasting performance. A zero-backlash gearbox with 1-degree setting accuracy allows precise adjustment, and tamper-proof locking ensures settings remain secure. Overall, these valves deliver efficient, reliable, and space-saving flow control for large HVAC systems.

Flanged Manual Balancing Valves – Product Overview Flanged Manual Balancing Valves are essential components in HVAC and hydronic systems, designed to ensure accurate flow regulation and system efficiency. These valves are manufactured in compliance with BS 7350 standards for double regulating valves, guaranteeing reliable performance and precise control across a wide range of applications. Available in sizes ranging from DN 50 (2”) to DN 300 (12”), these valves are suitable for medium to large-scale installations such as commercial buildings, industrial plants, and centralized cooling or heating systems. The flanged design ensures strong, leak-proof connections and ease of installation in pipeline networks. One of the key features is the EPDM sealing disc, which provides excellent durability and ensures positive shut-off, preventing leakage even under demanding operating conditions. The valves are also equipped with pressure test cocks, allowing easy measurement of differential pressure for accurate system balancing and performance verification. Flanged balancing valves offer robust construction, long service life, and dependable operation. Their double regulating capability allows both isolation and precise flow adjustment, reducing the need for additional components. These valves play a crucial role in optimizing energy efficiency, improving system performance, and ensuring consistent temperature control across HVAC systems.

Screwed End Gun Metal Balancing Valve – Features & Software Support Screwed End Gun Metal Balancing Valves are widely used in HVAC systems for accurate flow regulation and efficient water distribution. Manufactured from high-quality gun metal, these valves ensure durability, corrosion resistance, and long service life. Designed for precise double regulation, they allow accurate flow balancing while also functioning as reliable shut-off valves. A key advantage is the availability of advanced software and services. Flow Computation Software, Valve Selection Software, and System Balancing Software are designed to work seamlessly with handheld digital differential pressure meters. These tools enable site engineers to quickly calculate flow rates by selecting the valve size, entering the valve position (turns/angle), and inputting differential pressure readings. The software is user-friendly and compatible with Windows-based laptops and desktops, making on-site calculations fast and efficient. Additionally, on-site water balancing services are available to ensure optimal system performance and energy savings right from the commissioning stage. The valves come with features such as tamper-proof settings (handwheel or lock shield), low noise operation, PTFE sealing for leak-proof performance, and optional drain or pressure test cocks. Complying with IS 778 – 1984 standards, these valves can eliminate the need for separate flow measuring devices. Available in sizes up to 2 inches, they offer flexibility, easy installation, and cost-effective operation, making them an ideal choice for modern HVAC systems.

Advance make Balancing Valves provide a full complement (size ranges, pressure ratings, operating temperatures, and fluid characteristics) including related services such as on-site commissioning for optimum performance. Available in PN 16 / PN 20 or Higher (on request). To suit the channel requirements, there are high temperature valves and low temperature valves capabilities in the same valve itself. In other words, these balancing valves can withstand extreme temperatures without spillage or breakdowns. Pressure Control Sets (PCS) are designed to simplify installation, improve system efficiency, and ensure precise flow control in HVAC applications. These units can be easily pushed straight onto a Fan Coil Unit (FCU) and mounted directly over a drip tray, making them highly convenient for on-site installation. One of the key advantages is the ability to adjust flow rates while the system is still in operation, saving both time and effort during commissioning. PCS units are compatible with actuators, enabling remote commissioning and single-station balancing for enhanced control. They come as a complete package with customizable fittings, reducing the need for additional components and minimizing installation time. Equipped with strainers, drain plugs, and shut-off functionality, these units also serve as highly accurate flow measurement devices. Pressure Independent Control Valve (PICV) versions eliminate the need for differential pressure valves and complex calculations associated with traditional two-port control valves, leading to significant cost savings. The integrated design ensures all necessary valves are located in one place, simplifying maintenance and commissioning. Additionally, automatic balancing features reduce setup time to simple flushing and verification. Each PCS unit can be individually tagged for easy identification and can be installed in both horizontal and vertical orientations. With accessible filter ball strainers and precise temperature control, PCS units deliver reliable performance and maximum efficiency in modern HVAC systems.
