Before installation of Cim 747, check that inside the valve and the pipes there are no foreign
matters which might damage the tightness of the valve.
When installing the valve, please make sure to have a pipe length 5 times the DN upstream
the valve and 2 times the DN downstream, and pay attention to the arrow direction casted
on the valve body, which shall be the same as the flow one.
Burr pipe connections after having threaded them and distribute the sealing material on
pipe threads only and not on valve threads.
For assembly purposes, use a spanner, not a pipe wrench, by applying necessary working torque only on the valve end nearest the pipe. This helps get a firmer grip and avoids
potential damages to valve body.
Make sure that pipe threading length is not longer than valve threads.

Regulating:
technological solutions
To close the valve, rotate clockwise the handle until the stop. Looking at the data showed
in the herewith attached diagrams, it is possible to regulate the flow by rotating the handle
anticlockwise until the required flow rate is reached.
The reading of this flow rate can be done by using the differential manometer Cim 726.
This interfaces with the balancing valve through two sensors inserted in the binder points
(Kvs) placed before and after the calibrated diaphragm of the valve.
The main index scale showing values from 0 up to 8 of the handle, states the turns of
opening of the obturator, while the second circular one from 0 up to 9 registers the tenths
of one turn.
The position of the handle for the required flow rate can be memorized by an Allen Key 6
mm.

FLOW COEFFICIENT
Kv, in metric system represents the flow in m3/h of water at the temperature of 15.5°C
(density =998 kg/m3) which causes a pressure drop of 1 bar. In the USA flow coefficient is
called Cv (Kv = 0.865 Cv).
It is possible calculate the pressure drop across a valve with a generic flow rate and fluid:
where:
r is the relative density, Q is the flow rate in m3/h.

SUGGESTED VALUES AND TIPS:
•Pressure drop across the valve:
Max = 50 kPa
•Pressure drop across the binders:
Max = 50 kPa
Min = 1 kPa
•Velocities in the pipeline:
Max = 1.15 m/s
Min = 0.75 m/s
For the preliminary sizings where the
value of pressure drop across the valve
is not known, use a value of 10 kPa.
It is required to balance the circuit in the figure, the given data are:
• Necessary pressure for the circuit: ∆pc=13 kPa;
• Available pressure for the riser: ∆pa=35 kPa;
• Pressure drop across the control valve: ∆pm= 10 Kpa;
• Flow rate: Q= 3 m3/h=0.833 l/s.
The required differential pressure across the balancing valve can be calculated using the
following relation:
the required Kv is:
Using the attached tables to this datasheet, it is possible to find the following available
valves with the relative position of the handle:
• Cim 747 DN 32 --> Preset: 4.8 (Kv=8.49);
• Cim 747 DN 40 --> Preset: 4.0 (Kv=8.86);
• Cim 747 DN 50 --> Preset: 3.0 (Kv=8.84);
The three selected models are comparable. As a general rule, it is better to choose the
valve with the smallest diameter, in this way the valve will be quite opened and there will
be no problem with noises and cavitations.
Measuring the pressure drop across the binders of the Cim 747 DN 32, the operator will
find this value:

As a rule, the balancing valve does not need any maintenance.
In case of replacement or need of disassembling of some components of the valve, make
sure that the installation is not under service or pressure.
Should you need to replace the tightening OR (3) between body (2) and bonnet (4), follow
the instructions given here below:
• Open the obturator partially (1)
• Lift the index scale (6) placed over the bonnet (4), remove the pins (7) using the suitable
tool,unthread the handle (8) and the reference ring (5);
• Unscrew the bonnet (4) with a key, acting on the hexagonal side;
• Replace the Oring (3)
• Open the obturator (1) until the maximum opening;
• Screw the bonnet (4) on until its fastening on the valve body (2) with a key acting on
the hexagonal side;
• Insert the reference ring (5), the handle (8) and the relating fixing pins (7) in their site;
• Close the valve completely by turning the handle clockwise;
• When the valve is closed, the index scale (6) shall be placed with the “0” value in cor-
respondence with the sign marked on the reference ring (5).
