Description

NovoCon ChangeOver

The ChangeOver6 and NovoCon ChangeOver6
are 6-port motorized ball valves that performs a
diverting function between two water circuits in
4-pipe changeover system.
This diverting function allows the cooling and
heating capacity of a fan coil unit to be increased
for the same compact size compared to a double
coil model where the heating and cooling water
circuits each have their own coil.
The ChangeOver6 and NovoCon ChangeOver6
are 6-port motorized ball valves and not suitable
for flow control. Flow is modulated by the
AB-QM pressure independent balancing control
valve to avoid overflow and reduced efficiency of
boiler or chiller.
Typical applications are:
• Radiant ceiling panel, supplied by 4 pipes
(Heating supply and return and cooling
supply and return)
• Fan coil unit, with single coil supplied by 4
pipes (Heating supply and return and cooling
supply and return)
Features (ChangeOver6):
• No cross-flow between supply circuits
• Single on/off control signal to changeover
supply circuits
• Visual indication of actual valve position;
• Silent and reliable operation
• Maintenance free
• Teflon seal and polished chrome valve ball to
prevent valve sticking
• Manual override
NovoCon ChangeOver6:
The Actuator NovoCon ChangeOver6 is a unique
6-port motorised ball valve solution, which is
controlled directly from NovoCon® S and performs
a diverting function between two water circuits in
4-pipe ChangeOver6 system.
The NovoCon® S bus actuator controls the flow and
the 6-port diverting valve with actuator, switches
between heating and cooling, characterized by that:
• There is only one single plug-in cable, with bus
connection and power supply to the NovoCon®
S actuator. One plug-in cable between the
6-port Actuator NovoCon® S ChangeOver6 and
the NovoCon® S actuator , which includes a
0-10V control signal, feedback signal and power
connection.
• The NovoCon® S PIBCV actuator detects by means
of comparing 0-10V control & feedback signal if
6-port actuator is in manual operation or if the
valve is blocked (feedback signal does not follow
control signal).
• 6-port actuator is in maintenance mode able to
fully close the valve to prevent any leakage.
Features (NovoCon ChangeOver6):
• No cross-flow between supply circuits
• Simple connection and control
• Visual indication of actual valve position
• Silent and reliable operation
• Alarm
• Plug-in cable
• Quick-fit to actuator
• Maintenance free
• Teflon seal and polished chrome valve ball to
prevent valve sticking
Note: Act uators with 5 m and 10 m cable length are p roduced on request. Please n ote this increases lead time.

To reduce the risk of the ball
valve sticking due to water
quality, the valve must be
partially rotated at least every
7 days. An operation at least
once per week to reduce the
risk of higher toque loading
on the actuator. Reversing the
control signal for a maximum
of 40 seconds will rotate the
valve through 45 degrees to
the zero flow position without
changing between heating
and cooling.
The ChangeOver6 is a 6-port valve with rotary actuator that switches the flow between heating
and cooling. An AB-QM pressure independent balancing and control valve with actuator is used to
balance the system and modulate the flow. For modulating control, the AME 110NL actuator should
be used. For fieldbus control (BACnet or Modbus) NovoCon® S should be used.

Application principles
(NovoCon ChangeOver6)
Anti-sticking requirements:
To reduce the risk of the ball
valve sticking due to water
quality, the valve must be
partially rotated at least
every 7 days. By default this is
handled by NovoCon® S.
The ChangeOver6 is a 6-port valve with rotary actuator that switches the flow between heating and
cooling. An AB-QM pressure independent balancing and control valve with actuator is used to balance
the system and modulate the flow. When using the NovoCon® S for flow control, both NovoCon® S and
the Actuator NovoCon® ChangeOver6 are controlled by one single data point.
The 6 ports of the ChangeOver6 valve allow the
following flow directions.
Control signal - 0 VAC (black wire):
Port 1 to por t 2 and port 3 to port 4

CO6 in contrary to other ball valves includes shut off function. This function can be used only during
maintenance and replaces the need of four ball valves.

(ChangeOver6)
The design flow needed for heating is generally less than for cooling. Actuator AME 110NL supports this
difference by proportionately limiting the control voltage with a linear characteristic. The NovoCon® S
enables different design flows to be set via fieldbus communication. See the example below.
Example:
AB-QM 4.0 DN15 factory setting 100% = 650 l/h
Cooling: - ChangeOver6 set to cooling - control signal 0 V,
- PIBCV max. flow demand to terminal unit ~585 l/h = 90% presetting of AB-QM DN15
- Control signal to AME = 0 - 10 V
Heating: - ChangeOver6 set to heating - control signal 24 V,
- PIBCV max. flow demand to terminal unit ~286 l/h (=44% of AB-QM DN15 flow), presetting of
AB-QM DN15 equal to cooling,needed desgn flow achieaved by voltage limitation on AME.
- Control signal to AME = 0 - 5 V

ChangeOver6 is a 6-port motorized ball valve that switches flow between a heating
and cooling water circuit in a 4-pipe system and eliminates cross-flow. A single digital signal switches
between heating and cooling, and flow control must be performed by a separate pressure independent
control valve that can modulate flow rates to suit the heating and cooling circuits.
