The AVT / VGS controller is a self-acting
proportional temperature controller developed
primarily for steam or hot water applications for
temperatures up to 200 °C. Controller closes on
rising temperature.
The controller has a control valve VGS,
thermostatic actuator and handle for
temperature setting. Thermostatic actuator
consist of bellows, capillary tube and sensor.
The temperature controller is type-tested
according to EN 14597 and can be used in
combinations with safety temperature monitors
STM and safety temperature limiters STL.

Installation positions
(continuous)
Temperature sensor
The place of installation must be chosen in a way
that the temperature of the media is directly
taken without any delay. Avoid overheating of
temperature sensor. The temperature sensor
must be immersed into the media in its full
length.
Temperature sensor 210 mm R¾”:
• The temperature sensor may be installed in
any position.
Temperature sensor 255 mm R¾”:
• The temperature sensor must be installed as
shown on the picture.

Valve sizing
6 | VD.JK.C5.02
Steam valve sizing is based on 40 % drop of the
steam pressure across the valve when fully open.
At this condition the steam is travelling at or
close to its critical velocity (approx. 300 m/s) and
throttling would occur over the full valve stroke.
If the steam is travelling slower than this, then
the first part of the valve stroke would merely
increase the velocity of the steam without
reducing the volumetric flow.
The absolute inlet pressure is 500 kPa. Critical
pressure drop (40 % of 500 kPa) is 200 kPa. Locate
the diagonal line corresponding to the pressure
drop of 200 kPa (line A-A).
Read the absolute inlet pressure on the lower left
hand scale (point B), and draw a horizontal line
across until it meets the pressure drop diagonal
A-A at point C.
From this point C extend a vertical line upwards
until it meets the horizontal line representing
the steam flow of 70 kg/h from point D. The
intersection of this is point E.
The nearest diagonal kVS line above this is line
F-F with a kVS of 1.6. If the ideal valve size is not
available the next largest size should be selected
to ensure design flow.
The pressure drop through valve at the flow rate
is found by the intersection of the 70 kg/h line
with F-F (point E’) and dropping a vertical line
downwards; this actually hits the horizontal line
for 500 kPa absolute inlet pressure (point E’’)
at a pressure drop diagonal of 90 kPa. This is
only 18 % of the pressure drop accross the valve
and the control quality will not be good until
the valve has partially closed. As with all steam
valves this compromise is necessary since the
next smaller valve would not pass the required
flow (maximum flow would be about 60 kg/h;
point P).
The maximum flow for the same inlet pressure
is found by extending the vertical line (C-E)
through point E until it crosses the kVS 1.6 line F-F
(point G) and reading off the flow (90 kg/h).
2. For superheated steam
Given data:
Flow rate: 170 kg/h
Absolute inlet pressure: 5 bar (500 kPa)
Steam temperature: 190 °C
Remark:
For this exampl e follow dotted line
The procedur e for superheated steam is muc h the same as for
saturated steam , but uses a different flow s cale which slightly
elevates the read ings according to the degree of sup erheat.
As before, the diagonal critical pressure drop
line A-A is located at 40 % of 500 kPa (200 kPa).
The horizontal inlet pressure line through
point B is now extended to the left to read off
the corresponding saturated steam temperature
at point H (150 °C). The difference between
the saturated steam temperature and the
superheated steam temperature is
190 °C − 150 °C = 40 °C (see point J).
The superheated steam flow 170 kg/h is found
on the upper right hand scale (point K). From
here the diagonal line is followed down until it
meets a vertical line from the steam temperature
elevation (40 °C, point J) at point L.
As before, the horizontal line through point B
is drawn to cut line A-A at point C. The point
where the vertical line from point C meets the
horizontal line from point L is the operating
point (point M). This horizontal line, L-M, is the
corrected flow line. The nearest diagonal line
above this is line N-N with a kVS 3.2. A vertical
line dropped from the intersection of L-M line
with line N-N (point M’) intersects the 500 kPa
absolute inlet pressure line (point M’’) at a
pressure drop diagonal of about 150 kPa.
This is about 30 % of the pressure drop accross
the valve which will give reasonable control
quality (compared to recommended ratio of
40 %).
