Honeywell introduces pressure-regulated flow control valves
April 5, 2010 – Honeywell introduced Pressure-Regulated Flow Control Valves for commercial hydronic applications. The valves represent an important tool for contractors seeking to provide superior energy efficiency, comfort and ease of use in schools, hotels, hospitals, office buildings and other settings. Selecting, installing and commissioning goes quickly with the new valves, added Weber. Dynamic balancing eliminates the labor-intensive process of manually balancing hydronic systems. Key featuresHoneywell’s Pressure-Regulated Flow Control Valves integrate a dynamic pressure-balancing cartridge with a control valve. The dynamic pressure-balancing cartridge ensures that the flow-through valve stays at design flow for maximum comfort and system efficiency.Other key features include:
Controls flow within five percent accuracy at all load conditions, and improves control and performance to help extend actuator life.
Accurate flow regulation allows optimal sizing of chillers, boilers and pumps.
Threaded (VRN Series) and flanged (VRW Series) valves.
Field serviceable stem allows valves to be serviced in the field rather than cut from the pipe.
Full range of sizes – from ½ inch to 6 inch.
Honeywell provides integrated building automation systems and components that together offer maximum operating efficiencies in commercial building HVAC systems. Use of pressure regulated flow control valves and variable frequency drives (VFDs), are two top ways to tap into improved energy efficiency.“The demand for ongoing energy efficiency and operational savings, plus lower project costs, makes Honeywell Pressure-Regulated Flow Control Valves a compelling choice,” said Larry Weber, director of marketing for Honeywell Building Control Systems.Honeywell International is a Fortune 100 diversified technology and manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and services; control technologies for buildings, homes and industry; automotive products; turbochargers; and specialty materials. Based in Morris Township, N.J., Honeywell’s shares are traded on the New York, London, and Chicago Stock Exchanges.
