Control Valves
Your HVAC System’s Gatekeepers: Every HVAC system relies on valves to control fluid flow (water, refrigerant). Choosing the right type optimizes performance.
SENSELEMENT offers a variety of valves:
- 2-Way Control Valves (Simple & Cost-Effective): Ideal for basic on/off or modulating control in Zones, FCU, AHU or Chillers and for stable pressure systems. Available in:
Globe Valves: Precise flow control, ideal for throttling applications.
Ball Valves: Simple on/off operation, good for full flow or shut-off.
- 3-Way Valves (Mixing & Diverting): Perfect for mixing hot/cold water or diverting flow in heating/cooling loops or zone control. Available in:
Globe Valves: Excellent for precise mixing and flow control.
Ball Valves: Great for simple mixing applications or diverting flow.
- PICVs (Precision Flow): Maintain consistent flow and system balance, especially in complex systems.
- Motorized Butterfly Valves (Simple On/Off): Great for basic on/off or Modulating control
The Masters of Efficiency: Control valves are like conductors, regulating fluid flow for optimal performance:
- Temperature Control: Consistent comfort by regulating hot/chilled water to air handling units.
- System Efficiency: Prevent energy waste by controlling flow rates.
- Demand-Based Control: Adjust heating/cooling based on real-time needs, saving energy.
- Zone Control: Set different temperatures for specific areas, maximizing comfort and efficiency.
- Equipment Protection: Regulate flow within safe parameters to protect pumps, coils, and other components.
Control valves are essential for:
- Comfort: Maintaining consistent temperatures.
- Efficiency: Optimizing energy use and reducing costs.
- Equipment Protection: Safeguarding HVAC components from damage.
By precisely managing fluid flow, control valves are the unsung heroes of a well-functioning and efficient HVAC system.
