AVPQ(4) is a self-acting differential pressure
and flow controller 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 two control
diaphragms and handle for differential pressure
setting.
Main data:
• DN 15-50
• kVS 0.4-25 m3/h
• Flow range: 0.015-15 m3/h
• PN 25
• Setting range: 0.2-1.0 bar/0.3-2.0 bar
• Flow restrictor ∆pb: 0.2 bar
• Temperature:
Circ. water / glycolic water up to 30% :
2 … 150 °C
• Connections:
- Ext. thread (weld-on, ext. thread and flange
tailpieces)
Maximum allowed operating pressure as a function of medium temperature (according to EN 1092-2 and EN 1092-3).

Function
Flow volume causes pressure drop across the
adjustable flow restrictor. Resulting pressures
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 flow control. The flow restrictor diff. pressure
is controlled and limited by means of built-in
spring for flow control. Control valve closes on
rising differential pressure and opens on falling
differential pressure to control max flow.
SettingsFlow 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.
Pressure changes from flow and return pipes are
being transferred through the impulse tubes
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.
Controller is equipped with excess pressure
safety valve, which protects control diaphragm
for diff. pressure control from too high
differential pressure. In addition return version
of controller is equipped with second excess
pressure safety valve, which protects control
diaphragm for flow control from too high
differential pressure.
Differential pressure setting
Differential pressure setting 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.
