AVD(S) is a self-acting pressure reduction
controller primarily for use in district heating
systems. The controller is normally opened and
closes on rising pressure.
The controller has a control valve, an actuator
with one control diaphragm and a spring(s) for
pressure setting.

Application principles
Direct-connected heating system Indirectly connected heating system
Installation positionsUp to medium temperature of 100 °C the
controllers can be installed in any position (valid
for AVD controller only).
For higher temperatures (valid for AVD
controller) and always in steam applications
(AVDS controller) the controllers have to be
installed in horizontal pipes only, with a pressure
actuator oriented downwards.

FunctionThe pressure behind of the control valve is being
transferred through the impulse tube to the
actuator chamber and act on control diaphragm.
On the other side of the diaphragm atmospheric
pressure is acting (through air space bore).
Control valve is normally opened. It closes on
rising pressure and opens on falling pressure to
maintain constant pressure.
SettingsPressure setting
Pressure setting is being done by the adjustment
of the setting spring for pressure control. The
adjustment can be done by means of spring for
pressure setting and/or pressure indicators.
