Abstract:
The invention relates to a regulating valve (1) for regulating the flow rate and differential pressure in fluid-guiding heating or cooling systems, the regulating valve consisting of a housing (2) with an inlet (3) and outlet (4) and therebetween a connection piece (5) with disposed therein a regulating device (9), a first flow-regulating device (10) and a second flow-regulating device (11). In the direction of flow of the fluid flowing through the valve, following the inlet (3) is the first flow-regulating device (10), followed by the second flow-regulating device (11), followed by the regulating device (9), followed by the outlet (4). Further provided arc a spindle (12), disposed in the connection piece (5), an actuating part (13) and a choke element (14) which is part of the first flow-regulating device (10). The spindle (12) axially penetrates both the regulating device and the second flow-regulating device (11).

Abstract:
An automatic balancing valve is described provided with a valve body having at least one inlet channel and an outlet channel for a heat transfer fluid, wherein the flow regulation is carried out by a ball shutter having an axial through channel with axis perpendicular to the rotation axis of the ball. The ball valve has at least one radial channel aligned with the rotation axis of the ball and is connected to the axial through channel. The radial channel has an outlet port having a circular cross-section which hydraulically connects the axial through channel of the ball with the outlet channel of the valve.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a flow adjustment valve (1) comprising a valve housing (2) having a flow channel (3) and a pipe stub (10), disposed at an angle to the flow channel (3). A throttle unit (6) is arranged in the flow channel (3) and comprises a throttle element (8) that can be actuated through the pipe stub (10). The flow adjustment valve also comprises two measuring points (14, 15) for detecting the pressure in the flow channel (3) at both sides of a throttle arrangement, each of which measuring points being connected to a pressure measuring connection (17) via a pressure measuring channel (26, 27). The aim of the invention is to improve the design options for a flow adjustment valve of the aforementioned type. For this purpose, at least one pressure measuring channel (26) is guided through the pipe stub (10).
Abstract:
An on demand tankless water heater system that is capable of quickly delivering water within a desired temperature range. The tankless water heater provides a hybrid heating method that contains a primary heating system and a secondary heating system disposed in a buffer tank that cooperate to facilitate control of output water temperature during water usage. A pressure differential switch detects low flow demand and allows the secondary heating system to provide immediate heating to the water. This secondary heating system provides a faster temperature response and fine tuning of output water temperature.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of controlling pressure maintenance equipment for a cooling and heating system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of operating and controlling, under optimum conditions, pressure maintenance equipment with multiple sensors so as to check for irregularities in the sensors which measure the same physical parameter. In the present invention, measurement values of two or more sensors are used to detect whether an abnormality has occurred in any sensor. If a sensor is determined to be abnormal, a measurement value of the abnormal sensor is excluded when determining a reference control value. Thereby, the pressure can be precisely and reliably controlled in response to actual conditions of the system.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a control system for controlling a plurality of fluidly and operably connected water heaters to meet a hot water demand such that overall efficiency is maximized and usage disparity between water heaters is minimized. There is further disclosed a method for detecting a small system demand in said network by adjusting the setting of each flow limiting valve of each water heater. There is still further disclosed a method for enabling seamless addition or removal of a heater in service and heating load distribution to water heaters.
Abstract:
A device for regulating the flow in a heating and cooling system. The flow is controlled by a complete valve realized as a combination of a difference pressure valve (5) and a flow controlling valve (6) where the complete valve construction allows flushing of the tube system where the valve is mounted. A first static pressure (P1) in the inlet (2), a second static pressure (P2) in the intermediate chamber (4) and a third static pressure (P3) in the outlet (3) are measured by the measuring nipples (27a, 27b) and the difference between the second and the third static pressures (P2, P3) is adjustable during operation.
