By means of a flexible and modular design, it is possible to combine several control functions into one controller to meet the most demanding requirements across a wide range of applications.

In some applications, it may be necessary to control the flow temperature, limit maximum flow rate and primary return temperature by using a single multifunctional controller.

A typical example of such a device is the AVQMT, which works like the AVQM but with an additional self-acting thermostat (type AVT / STM).

The pressure-independent valve controls the temperature on the secondary side and the self-acting thermostat limits the return temperature. In domestic hot water systems, the thermostat can be used as a safety thermostat protecting users from scalding.

FAQ

Yes you can. Open the control valve fully and set the max flow by adjusting the differential pressure. You can also calculate the appropriate differential pressure, but you need to know the exact capacity of the control valve.

We produce valves with a standard length. You can also find the measures in our datasheet or download 2D and 3D CAD drawing models from our product presentations. Please go to our product catalog where you will find links to documentation and drawings - follow the below link.

    Solar heating plant reduces CO2 emissions by 15,700 tonnes annually

    The world’s largest solar heating plant in Silkeborg, Denmark harnesses energy to heat the homes and workplaces of 40,000 citizens. It supplies 18-20% of the annual heat consumption in the city of Silkeborg, Denmark, which has an ambitious target of CO2 neutrality in heat production by the year 2030.
