Differential pressure, flow and temperature controller (PN 25)
AVPQT - return mounting, adjustable setting
Description
The AVPQT is a self-acting differential pressure,
flow and temperature controller primarily for use
in district heating systems. The controller closes
on rising differential pressure or temperature, or
when set max. flow is exceeded.
AVPQT controller can be combined with AVT or
STM thermostatic actuators.
The AVPQT controller have a control valve with
adjustable flow restrictor, combination piece
with connection neck for thermostat, an actuator
with two control diaphragms and handle for
differential pressure setting.
The controllers combined with AVT and STM
thermostats are type-tested acc. to EN 14597.
Controllers combined with STM thermostats
protect systems against exceeding temperatures.
Applications:
- District heating systems acc. to DIN 4747
- Heating systems acc. to EN 12828 (DIN 4751)
and EN 12953-6 (DIN 4752)
- Water heating systems for drinking and
industrial waters acc. to DIN 4753.
Main data:
• DN 15-50
• kVS 4.0-25 m3/h
• Flow range: 0.07-15 m3/h
• PN 25
• Setting range: 0.2-1.0 bar
• Flow restrictor ∆pb: 0.2 bar
• Setting ranges:
- AVT:
−10 … 40 °C / 20 … 70 °C / 40 … 90 °C / 60 … 110 °C
The controller AVPQT will be
delivered completely assembled,
inclusive combination piece and
impulse tubes between valve and
actuator. Thermostatic actuator
AVT will be delivered separately.
External impulse tube (AV) must be
ordered separately.
In case of safety temp. monitoring
STM should be ordered instead of
AV T.
Differential pressure, flow and temperature
controller
Up to medium temperature of 100 °C the
controllers can be installed in any position.
Temperature sensor
The place of installation must be chosen in a way
that the temperature of the medium is directly
taken without any delay. Avoid overheating of
temperature sensor. The temperature sensor
must be immersed into the medium in its full length.
Temperature sensors 170 mm R½ and 210 mm R¾
- The temperature sensor may be installed in
any position.
For higher temperatures the controllers have
to be installed in horizontal pipes only, with a
pressure and temperature actuator oriented
downwards.
Temperature sensor 255 mm R¾
- The temperature sensor must be installed as
shown on the picture.

Differential pressure, flow and temperature
controller
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.
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.
Safety Temperature Monitor (STM)
- Function
The safety temperature monitor is
proportional temperature controller which
controls temperature and protects the system
against exceeding temperatures. The valve
cone is soft sealed and pressure relieved.
Handle for limit setting can be sealed.
- Extended safety function
If there is a leakage in the area of the
temperature sensor, the capillary tube, or the
thermostat, the valve closes by a safety spring
in the safety thermostat. In this case safety
temperature monitor (actuator) must be
replaced.
- Physical Function Principle
The safety temperature monitor operates
in accordance with the liquid expansion
principle. The temperature sensor, the
capillary tube and the bellows are filled with
liquid. As the temperature at the temperature
sensor rises, the liquid expands, the
thermostat stem moves out and closes the
valve.
Temperature Controller (AVT)
- Function
By increasing of medium temperature valve
cone moves towards the seat (valve closes),
by decreasing of medium temperature valve
cone moves away from the seat (valve opens).
Handle for temperature setting can be sealed.
- Physical Function Principle
Medium temperature changes cause pressure
changes in temperature sensor. Resulting
pressure is being transferred through the
capillary tube to the bellows. Bellows moves
thermostat stem and opens or closes the
valve.
In case the temperature at the temperature
sensor exceeds the adjusted set point, safety
temperature monitor interrupts energy
supply by closing the valve. As soon as the
temperature at the temperature sensor drops,
the valve opens automatically.
SettingsTemperature setting (AVT)
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 done by
means of handle for diff. pressure setting and/or
pressure indicators.
Temperature setting is being done by the
adjustment of the setting spring for temperature
control. The adjustment can be done by means
of handle for temperature setting and/or
temperature indicators.
Limit setting (STM)
Limit setting is being done by the adjustment of
the setting spring for temperature control. The
adjustment can be done by means of handle for
limit setting and/or temperature indicators.
