Horizontal Distribution Units - HDU Multi-port
Application
Installation Example
Danfoss pre-fabricated HDU distribution units are
made for distribution and measuring of waterbased heating in 2-pipe horizontal systems.
A HDU is easily mounted on the apartment wall
and connected to the riser. The radiators in the
apartment are connected through the manifold.
The unit design provides a good overview of the
installation, which makes after-service easy.
All Danfoss distribution units are equipped with:
heat meter, for individual measuring of en-
▪
ergy consumption.
dP controller, to ensure hydraulic stability in
▪
the heating system.
HDU multi-port units are wall-mounted and created for parallel radiator distribution. HDU multiport units are available with 4 or 7 manifold
ports, each in two versions with left or right connection.

Example Given:
Design flow trough radiatorsloop: 450 l/h
Pressure drop trough the loop at design flow: 10 kPa
Solution:
Set to 80 %, AB-PM will control differential pressure of 10 kPa when design flow is achieved. It will at any loads including keep it under 22 kPa at zero load, while limiting the
flow to radiator system to 450 l/h.
AB-PM Automatic Balancing Valve
AB-PM is a combined automatic balancing valve. It
features three functions in a compact valve body:
1. Differential pressure controller.
2. Control valve with linear characteristic.
3. Flow limiter.
Benefits:
Reliable heating system resulting in proper
▪
heat distribution even at partial loads and
noise free operation based on stable low Δp
over thermostatic radiator valves even in installation where higher pump head is needed.
Lower heating cost.
▪
Better indoor temperature control • Faster in
▪
simpler installation with less installation space
needed.

9. Impulse tube.
AB-PM is a combined automatic balancing valve. It is working as Δp controller, flow limiter and zone
controller. Higher pressure acts on the upper side of the control diaphragm (5) while via an impulse
tube (9) lower pressure in the return pipe acts on the lower side of the diaphragm. When available
pressure increases at partial loads, the membrane closes and thus keeps stable Δp inside the controlled loop. Δp controller keeps constant differential pressure on the controlled loop including the control part of AB-PM (similar as if ASV-I would be integrated into ASV-P).
Danfoss Heating Solutions VDIGB102 © Danfoss 08/2012 5
The control part of AB-PM is working as a flow limiter. This enables to set both the design flow as well
as needed Δp. The flow rate is defined by presetting AB-PM, based on pressure demand of the loop.
With actuator mounted on the valve, AB-PM can be used as zone valve. When connected to the room
controller with time programs, functions such as night setback, holiday mode, etc become available.
