AVDO is a self-acting constant flow control
primarily used either to maintain minimum flow
rates through e.g. a low-capacity gas boiler or to
control the differential pressure in a central
heating system.
AVDO:
opens on rising differential pressure
▪
has a setting range of 0.05 - 0.5 bar
▪
Low-capacity gas boiler where maintenance of a min.
flow is required
is dimensioned for pressure stage PN 10,
▪
max. 120 °C
DN 15 and DN 20
▪
operates without impulse tubes
▪
On delivery valve housing is fit onto AVDO with
one of the following fittings: internal socket
thread, internal socket thread/nipple or external
thread for compression fittings.

The valve body must be mounted with flow in
direction of the cast-in arrow.
The control is set by turning the setting dial.
AVDO has a setting scale on which the opening
pressure in bar or mwg can be directly read.
The differential pressures stated for a given
setting are indicative.
The scale gives the differential pressure across
the AVDO when it just begins to open.
boiler to bypass.
Pump characteristic, see fig. 2.
▪
0.15 bar system differential pressure at max.
▪
system load.
Required:
Bypass circulation beginning at 0.15 bar
▪
pump pressure.
Min. 2.0 m³/h boiler circulation.
▪
Seek:
A constant flow control that opens
▪
concurrently with falling load across the
system (closing radiator thermostats).
A constant flow control that ensures min. 2.0
▪
m³/h boiler circulation at min. system load.
Solution:
A 2.0 m³/h flow corresponds to a 0.25 bar
▪
pump pressure. On closing radiator
thermostats AVDO is to ensure min. 2.0 m³/h
circulation at 0.25 bar differential pressure
across AVDO. Choose AVDO 25 that
provides 2.75 m³/h at 0.25 bar differential
pressure across valve. Set AVDO on 0.15 bar
required opening pressure.
Example 2:
Bypass control across circulation pump
Given:
System, see fig. 3.
▪
-Pump characteristic, see fig. 4.
▪
Required:
Bypass circulation beginning at 0.1 bar
▪
pump pressure.
Max. system differential pressure at closed
▪
radiator thermostats must be limited to 0.25
bar.
Seek:
A constant flow control that opens
▪
concurrently with falling load across the
system (closing radiator thermostats).
A constant flow control that ensures max.
▪
system differential pressure not exceeding
0.25 bar at min. system load.
Solution:
The max. permissible differential pressure
▪
0.25 bar across system corresponds to a 1.8
m³/h water volume (fig. 4). At min. load
AVDO must ensure 1.8 m³/h pump bypass
circulation. In this example AVDO 20 must
be used - see "Capacity".- As circulation is
not to begin before differential pressure
across system has exceeded 0.1 bar, AVDO is
set on 0.1 bar - see "Setting.
