AVPB Controller
Picture
AVPB (-F) is a self-acting differential pressure
controller with flow limitation primarily for use in
district heating systems. The controller closes on
rising differential pressure or when set max. flow
is exceeded.
The controller has a control valve with adjustable
flow restrictor, an actuator with one control
diaphragm and handle for differential pressure
setting (fixed setting version is without handle).
Main data:
• DN 15-50

• PN 25
•
Setting range (AVPB): 0.2-1.0 bar/0.3-2.0 bar

control diaphragm. Control valve closes on
rising differential pressure and opens on falling
differential pressure to maintain constant
differential pressure. Flow volume is controlled
and limited by means of the flow restrictor.
Settings
Flow setting
Flow setting is being done by the adjustment of
the flow restrictor position. The adjustment can
be performed on the basis of flow adjustment
diagram (see relevant instructions) and/or by the
means of heat meter.
Differential pressure setting
Differential pressure setting is being done by the
adjustment of the setting spring for diff. pressure
control. The adjustment can be performed on
the basis of diff. pressure adjustment diagram
(see relevant instructions) and/or pressure
indicators.
