Application
Ordering
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
- is dimensioned for pressure stage PN 10,
max. 120 °C
- DN 15 and DN 20
- operates without impulse tubes
a central heating system.
On delivery valve housing is fit onto AVDO
AVDO:
- opens on rising differential pressure
- has a setting range of 0.05 - 0.5 bar
with one of the following fittings: internal
socket thread, internal socket thread/nipple or
external thread for compression fittings.
Princip
Low-capacity gas boiler where maintenance of
a min. flow is required

Data sheet Automatic bypass control AVDO
Setting 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

Example 1
Bypass control across heating system
Given:
- System, see fig. 1
- Insignificant pressure loss in pipe from
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 m
3
/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.
3
/h boiler circulation at min. system
2.0 m
load
Solution:
A 2.0 m
3
/h flow corresponds to a 0.25 bar
pump pressure.
On closing radiator thermostats AVDO is to
ensure min. 2.0 m

0.25 bar differential pressure across valve.
Set AVDO on 0.15 bar required opening
pressure.
for a given setting are indicative. The scale
gives the differential pressure across the
AVDO when it just begins to open.
Fig. 3
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
3
/h water volume (fig. 4). At min. load
1.8 m
AVDO must ensure 1.8 m
3
/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.
