ASV balancing valves are used to secure anautomatic hydronic balance in heating andcooling systems. Automatic balancing means:Permanent balancing from 0 to 100 % loadby controlling the pressure in systems withvariable flow. By using ASV you avoid usingcomplex comissioning methods, you onlyneed to install the valves. Automaticbalancing of the system in all loads helps youto save energy.

Lower noise emissionDifferential pressure limitation provide thepressure over the control valve not toincrease at partial loads thus noise emissionwill be lower. (This is the reason whyDIN 18380 requires control of differentialpressure by partial load.)

No balancing method neededFlow limitation is achieved by adjusting eachhydronic loop separately without influencingothers, which consequently results in onetime adjusting process. No special balancingmethod is needed. You can save a lot ofcommissioning cost.

Control valve authorityControlling differential pressure over thecontrol valve means that authority is high –which allows an accurate and stable controlas well as energy saving.

Data sheet

Automatic balancing valvesASV

ASV-I ASV-M ASV-P ASV-PV / ASV-PV Plus

ASV automatic balancing valves allow twobasic balancing functions:

- Flow limitation- Pressure limitation

The ASV-PV can be set to control thedifferential pressure between 0.05 bar and0.25 bar (5 kPa and 25 kPa). When suppliedit is set at 0.1 bar (10 kPa).

The ASV-PV Plus can be set to control thedifferential pressure between 0.2 bar and0.4 bar (20 kPa and 40 kPa). When suppliedit is set at 0.3 bar (30 kPa).

The ASV-P is a balancing valve thatmaintains differential pressure across theriser at 0.1 bar (10 kPa). They incorporate ashut-off function and a drain cock. ASVvalves are to be used in sets of: ASV-P orASV-PV/PV Plus (blue handwheel) in returnpipe and ASV-I or ASV-M (red handwheel)valve in flow pipe.

The pressure is controlled between the shutoff valve ASV-M (or I) and the ASV-P(or ASV-PV). At 100% load pressure limitingtogether with adjustable orifice allows flowlimitation.

At partial loads, when the flow is decreasedby the control valve, a pressure limitation isstill performed and consequently securing apermanent balancing.

ASV-M ASV-M ASV-M

FV

ASV-P ASV-PASV-P

ASV valves are to be used in radiator heatingsystems to control the differential pressure inrisers. To limit the flow for every radiator, thethermostatic radiator valve with pre-settingfacilities (feature) is used together with aconstant pressure provided by the ASV, thusproviding balanced heat distribution.Alternatively the flow in the riser can belimited by using setting function of the ASV-I.

ASV valves are performing pressure controlnot only at design conditions (100 % load) butalso at all partial loads (to fulfill therequirements of DIN 18380 norms). Bycontrolling pressure at a partial load one canprevent noise problems on thermostaticradiator valves which often occur inunbalanced systems.

By installing the ASV sets you may divideyour heating system in pressure independentzones. This would allow a gradual connectionof zones/risers to the main in newconstructions or at renovation without the useof an additional balancing method. There isno need to perform a new commissioningevery time the system is changed as thehydronic balancing is done automatically.Controlling differential pressure over the risermeans also that the valve authority over thethermostatic radiator valves is high – whichallows an accurate and stable temperaturecontrol and saves energy.

ASV balancing valves are designed toguaranty a high quality of the automaticbalancing by:- a pressure released cone- an adapted membrane for every valve

dimension which provide constant qualityperformance for all sizes.

A 90° angle between all service features(shut-off, draining, setting, measuring) allowsan easy access under any installingcondition.

All the above-mentioned features andfunctions are realized in small build-indimensions so it is easy to install the ASValso under worst installing conditions.The ASV valves are packaged in styropor(EPS) which can be used for insulation attemperatures up to 80 °C. An insulation capis available as an accessory for insulation athigher temperatures (up to 120° C). The ASVvalves are supplied with an internal orexternal thread. (ASV-PV Plus only withinternal threads) If an external thread ischosen, a threaded or weld nipple can besupplied as an accessory.

Fig. 3 ASV with fan coil

ASV-I ASV-PV ASV-I ASV-PV

The ASV valves are to be used in systemswith fan coils, induction devices and air-heaters to secure an automatic hydronicbalance by the means of differential pressurecontrol in branches or at every coil. Constantdifferential pressure in combination with pre-set control valves i.e. ASV-I limits the flow.

By using automatic ASV valves you candivide your heating system in pressureindependent zones. This would allow gradualconnection of zones without additionalbalancing method used. There is no need toperform a new commissioning every time thesystem is changed because the hydronicbalance is done automatically.

ASV valves are to be used in floor heatingsystems. To limit the flow for every loopvalves or manifolds with an integrated flowlimiting or presetting should be used togetherwith a constant pressure provided by anASV-PV or an ASV-PV Plus. Alternatively theflow for the whole manifold can be limited byusing the setting function of the ASV-I.

The ASV-PV can control the differentialpressure between 0.05 and 0.25 bar (5 and25 kPa). If a higher pressure is needed, anASV-PV Plus which provides a pressurebetween 0.2 and 0.4 bar (20 and 40 kPa) canbe used. Due to its small dimensions the ASVautomatic balancing valves are easy to installin a wall mounted box for floor heatingmanifolds.

The ASV valves are performing pressurecontrol not only at design conditions (100 %load) but also at all partial loads. Differentialpressure limitation provide that pressure overthe control valve will not increase at partialloads thus noise emission will be lower.Controlling differential pressure over controlvalve means that authority is high – whatallow accurate and stable control and to saveenergy. Due to small dimesions, it is easy toinstall the ASV also in worst installingcondition.

Fig. 5. Column diagram for sizing ASV valves

We recommend to size the diameter ofASV-P/PV/PV Plus valves (based on the10 kPa differential pressure) by using graph 5.After ASV-P/PV/PV Plus valves have beensized the same dimension of ASV-I / ASV-Mvalve should be selected.

Example:Given: Pipe flow 200 l/h, pipes DN 15Solution: Horizontal line intersects the columnfor the valve DN 15 which can therefore beselected as required size.

Connection between valves size andpipe size

As long as the water flow velocity is between0.6 and 0.3 m/s dimension of the valveshould be equal to valve dimension.

This rule is derived out of the fact that Kvvalues per particular dimension weredesigned to cover flow range up to speed of0.6 m/s at differential pressure of 10 kPa overthe valve.

If you are designing on the different basisplease refer to page 11.

Fig. 4 ASV with chilled ceiling

ASV valves are to be used in chilled ceilingssystems to control differential pressure inrisers or at every chilled ceiling. To limit theflow for every chilled ceiling, valve with pre-setting facilities (feature) should be usedtogether with constant pressure provided byASV, thus providing balanced distribution.Alternatively the flow can be limited by usingsetting function of ASV-I.

Description / Application(continued)

ASV automatic balancing valves can beused also in other applications. Forexample ASV can be used to preventnoise problems at the thermostaticradiator valves in small systems withcondensing boilers by controlling thedifferential pressure. ASV can be used inevery application you need a smalldifferential pressure controller, forexample like small floor manifolds or flatstations.

Turn the valve knob fully counterclockwise so that the mark on the knob isopposite »0« on the scale. The valve is nowopen as many turns from the closed position(2.2) as indicated by the convertion fromrequired flow. To annul the setting, turn thehexagon socket key fully clockwise (until astop can be felt).

Remember, at the same time the knob mustbe held on its »0« setting.

Sizing - design examples 1. Example

Given:Radiator system with thermostatic radiatorvalves with pre-setting function.Desired flow for the riser (Q): ............ 1500 l/hMinimal available pressurefor that riser (∆pa)................................. 70 kPaEstimated pressure drop over the riserat the desired flow (∆pr)................... 20 kPa

Wanted:- Valve type- Valve size

Since radiator valves has pre-setting functionASV-M is selected.

Since desired pressure drop over the riser is20 kPa ASV-PV is selected.

ASV-PV should control 20 kPa pressure overthe riser that means that 50 kPa out of 70 willbe disposed over two valves.

∆pp + ∆pm = ∆pa - ∆pr = 70 - 20 = 50 kPa

We presume that dimension DN 25 is theright dimension for this example (please mindthat both valves should be of the samedimension). As ASV-M DN 25 is to be fullyopen pressure drop is calculated by followingequation:

∆pm = 0.14 bar = 14 kPa

Or by reading from diagram (fig.14) asfollows:Draw horizontal line from 1.5 m3/h (~1500 l/h)trough the line that depicts dimension DN 25.From the intersection draw vertical line toread that pressure drop is 14 kPa.

Pressure drop over ASV-PV valve istherefore:

∆pp = (∆pa - ∆pr) - ∆pm =50 kPa - 14 kPa = 36 kPa

From diagram (fig. 10 - Ex. 1) we canestablish that DN 25 is the first dimension thatcan be used for this example by:

Drawing the line trough the point 1500 l/h onQ-line and 0.36 kPa on ∆pv -line to intersectpoint 2.5 m3/h on Kv-line. From this pointhorizontal line should be drawn until itintersects the first line that representsparticular valve dimension.

If in doubt regarding the valve size decisionshould be made according to following:

1. Smaller dimension should be selected toutilize valve to full extent.

2. Higher dimension should be selected tobe on the safe side when desired flow (Q)is higher tha specified, or when estimatedminimale available pressure is lower thanspecified (∆pa).

Wanted:New valves’ setting to increase the flow for10%, Q2 = 1650 l/h.

Setting on the ASV-PV valve:When needed setting of the control pressurecan be adjusted to particular value (ASV-PVfrom 5 to 25 kPa or ASV-PV Plus 20 to 40 kPa).With increasing / decreasing the setting it ispossible to adjust flow trough the riser,terminal or similar. (100 % increase of controlpressure will increase the flow for 41%)

p2 = p1 x ( Q2 )2 = 0.20 x ( 1650 )2

= 24 kPa Q1 1500

If we increase the setting to 24 kPa flow willbe increased to 10% to 1650 l/h.

Given:Desired flow for the branch (Q): ......... 880 l/hASV-PV and ASV-I (DN 25)Setting on the ASV-PV valve (∆po) .... 10 kPaEstimated pressure drop over the riserat desired flow (∆pr) .................................................. 4 kPa

Required:Setting of the ASV-I valve to achieve desiredflow

Solution:When needed setting of the ASV-I can beadjusted to perform flow limitation function.ASV-I namely is inside the control loop of thepressure controller therefore adjusting ASV-Iwould result in adjusting flow limitation.(General rule is that 100 % increase of kvvalue will increase the flow for 100%)

At partial loads automatic balancing valve arein general throttling surplus pressure byclosing itself.

ASV-P, ASV-PV and ASV-PV Plus valves aredesigned to control differential pressureacross the riser by using compression spring.As spring compresses controlling pressureincreases and vice versa. In practise thismeans that controlling pressure is highest atvalve’s closing position and minimal at fullyopen position.

ASV-P, ASV-PV and ASV-PV Plus aredesigned that setting pressure is achieved at62.5 % of working stroke.

At desired flow pressure drop over the entirebranch is 4 kPa. Without using ASV-I flowtrough the branch at fully open control valvewill be 58% higher thus causing overflow(4 kPa allow 880 l/h, while 10 kPa allow1390 l/h). With adjusting the ASV-I DN 25 onvalue 90% kv value (3.6 m3/h) we will limit theflow to 880 l/h as desired.

This value is optained by followingcalculation:

∆pi = ∆po - ∆pr = 10 - 4 = 6 kPa

Kv = = = 3,6 m3/h

Or by reading from graph (fig. 13) by drawingthe line trough point 880 l/h on Q-line and6 kPa on ∆ppv line untill intersect the kv-line.From the point on kv-line (3.6 m3/h) drawhorizontal line to untill DN 25 line is intersectsat 2.4 setting.

Given:ASV-P & ASV-M (DN 25)Setting on the valve ∆pr ..................... 10 kPaAvailable pressurefor the riser ∆pa ........................................................ 40 kPaFlow (Q) ............................................. 220 l/h

Required:Controlled pressure at 220 l/h

Solution:Pressure drop across ASV-P is∆pp = ∆pa - ∆pr = 40 - 10 = 30 kPa

By drawing the line trough Q = 220 l/h and∆pp = 0.3 bar and horizontal line intersectcolumn of DN 25 at value 10% or bycalculating from eq.:

Kv = =0,4 m3/h, this is 10% of kvs value.

Data sheet Automatic balancing valves ASV

ASV-I is equipped with two measuring nipplesso that the differential pressure across thevalve can be measured using Danfossmeasuring equipment PFM 3000 or anyother measuring device. When the measuringequipment quick couplings are connected,the measuring nipples can be opened bygiving them a half-turn counter clockwise withan 8 mm open-ended spanner.

Using the pressure drop graph for ASV-I,fig. 13, the actual differential pressure acrossa fully open valve can be converted to actualflow.

After measurement, the nipples must beclosed again by turning them back clockwiseand disconnecting the quick-couplings. Note:When measuring sized flow, all radiatorvalves must be fully open (nominal flow).

Measurement of differential pressure (∆pr )across riser .Fit a measuring connector (Danfoss code no.003L8143) on the ASV-P/PV/PV Plusbalancing valve drain cock. Measurementsmust be taken between the measuring nippleat ASV-I/ASV-M valve port B and themeasuring connector on the draincock.

ASV-P, ASV-PV or ASV-PV Plus must beinstalled in the return pipe with flow in thedirection of the cast-in arrow. ASV-M andASV-I must be installed in the flow pipe, withflow in the direction of the cast-in arrow. Theimpulse tube must be installed betweenASV-M / I and ASV-P / PV / PV Plus.

Installation

Measurement of flow anddifferential pressure

The impulse tube must be flushed throughbefore installation. ASV-PV and ASV-I mustin addition be installed as determined byinstallation conditions

Max. test pressure ............................... 25 bar

When pressure testing the system you mustsecure that both sides of the membrane havethe same static pressure to prevent damageof the pressure controller. That means theimpulse tube must be connected and anyneedle valves must be open.

Pressure testing

Sizing (continued)

If ASV-P / PV or ASV-PV Plus is installed incombination with ASV-M both valves must beopen or closed (both valves must be in thesame position!). If ASV-PV or ASV-PV Plus isinstalled in combination with ASV-I bothvalves must be open.
