Flow-compensated temperature controller
AVTQ DN 15
Description AVTQ prevents high temperatures in the heat
exchanger when no hot water is tapped by
rapidly shutting off the heat supply (e.g. hot
district heating water). AVTQ can be used with
most plate heat exchangers. However, the heat
exchanger manufacturer should be contacted to
ensure that the chosen heat exchanger has been
approved for use with the AVTQ.
• Pressure-controlled opening/closing on
start/stop tapping.
• Infinite adjustment of operating temperature.
AVTQ controller consist of a thermostatic
actuator, diaphragm element, main valve
and pilot valve. Thermostatic actuator with
diaphragm element and main valve are
installed on the district heating (primary) side.
The diaphragm element is, via impulse tubes,
connected to the pilot valve on the domestic hot
water (secondary) side.
Main data:
• DN 15
• kVS 1.6
• PN 16 - Main valve
AVTQ is a self-acting flow-compensated
temperature controller primarily for use in
district heating systems with plate heat
exchangers for instantaneous hot water
production. It closes on rising sensor
temperature.
It has permanent no-load (idle) temperature
setting on about 40 °C which is offset by a
pilot valve using flow-compensation principle
during tapping. Tapping temperature can be set
individually.

When domestic hot water (DHW) is tapped, flow
through the pilot valve creates a pressure drop
(force in the diaphragm housing) which is used
to increase the temperature level from no-load
(idle) to set tapping temperature.
This temperature increase causes the main valve
to open for flow on the district heating side and
close when the temperature level again falls to
the no-load operating level. No-load operation
prevents the district heating line becoming cold.
Tapping temperature can be set individually.
