AVP(-F) is a self-acting differential pressure
controller primarily for use in district heating
systems. The controller closes on rising
differential pressure.
The controller has a control valve, an actuator
with one control diaphragm and handle for
differential pressure setting (fixed setting version
is without handle).

or read from the sizing diagram, page 7, by
taking a line from Q-scale (1.3 m3/h) through ∆pvscale (0.5 bar) to intersect kv-scale at 1.8 m3/h.
Solution:
The example selects AVP DN 15, kVS value 2.5,
with dierential pressure setting range
0.05-0.5 bar.
The P-band (Xp) can also be read from the sizing
diagram. Take a horizontal line from the kv-scale
(1.8 m3/h) to the right to intersect the Xp-scale
(0.04 bar). At a set value of 0.2 bar and a Xp of
0.04 bar the AVP controller controls between
0.2 bar with open motorised control valve and
0.2 + 0.04 = 0.24 bar at almost closed motorised
control valve (i.e. total pressure loss across the
motorised control valve).

FunctionPressure changes from flow and return pipes are
being transferred through the impulse tubes
and/or control drain in the actuator stem to
the actuator chambers and act on control
diaphragm for diff. pressure control. The diff.
pressure is controlled by means of setting spring
for diff. pressure control. Control valve closes on
rising differential pressure and opens on falling
differential pressure to maintain constant
differential pressure.
SettingsDifferential pressure setting
Differential pressure setting (valid for AVP
controller only) is being done by the adjustment
of the setting spring for diff. pressure control.
The adjustment can be done by means of
handle for diff. pressure setting and/or pressure
indicators.
Adjustment diagram
Relation between scale figures and differential pressure. Values given are approximate.
Controller is equipped with excess pressure
safety valve, which protects control diaphragm
for diff. pressure control from too high
differential pressure.
