AVDSA
AVDA and AVDSA are self-acting temperature
controllers used for constant flow control or
bypass control. Controller opens on rising
differential pressure.
The controller has a control valve, an actuator
with one control diaphragm and handle for
differential pressure setting.
For apartment block heating, district heating
plant and central heating systems.

Installation positionsThe valve body can be installed in any position.
A Danfoss FV strainer is recommended.
Impulse tubes have to be installed vertically
or horizontally onto the main pipe, never
downwards.
Needle valve can be installed between main pipe
and impulse tube, if necessary.

(+) impulse tube has to be connected to flow
line, (-) impulse tube has to be connected to
return line. Setting can be simplified by using
pressure indicators (manometers) placed close to
impulse tube connections.
By turning diaphragm housing downwards the
letter “RA” on valve housing must be oriented
upright.

Example
Given
Assuming a pressure drop in the line from the
pump to and from the valve connections of nil
so that Δpp = Δpa = Δpv, the plant differential
pressure at max. load = 0.25 bar.
Condition
Maximum plant differential pressure with closed
radiator valves limited to 0.3 bar. Pump water
volume (Q) for this condition = 0.3 m3/h.
Required
A pressure relief control able to circulate a water
volume of at least 0.3 m3/h at Δpa = 0.3 bar and
which will remain closed under max. plant load,
Δpa = 0.25 bar.
Method
Locate the necessary water volume,
Q = 0.3 m3/h, on the horizontal axis in the
nomogram.
From the 0.3 m3/h point, take a vertical line up
to intersect the curve that gives the pressure at
which the valve must be completely open (here,
0,3 bar). From the intesection, take a horizontal
line to intersect the vertical axes on the right.
These axes give the pressure rise XP that is
necessary across the valve before it can give the
required capacity Q.
Since the pressure rise in this example is 0.3 -
0.25 = 0.05 bar, a valve where XP ≤ 0.05 bar could
be used, i.e. an AVDA 25.
This setting is therefore 0.25 bar, i.e. the valve is
closed when the differential pressure across it is
0.25 bar.
A pressure gauge can be used in making the
setting, or an approximate setting can be made
as shown in the associated installation example.
