Valve mounting
Before mounting the valve be sure that the pipes
are clean and free from abrasion.
It is essential that the pipes are lined up squarely
with the valve at each connection and that they
are free from vibrations.
Install the motorized control valves with the
actuator in a vertical or horizontal position in
accordance to recommendations described in
Installation above.
Leave sufficient clearance to facilitate the
dismantling of the actuator from the valve body
for maintenance purposes.
Note that the actuator may be rotated up to 360°
with respect to the valve body by loosening the
retaining fixture. After this operation retighten.
Mixing
Diverting
Always install the valve with the arrow on
the body in the same direction as the flow. In
order to avoid turbulence, which will affect the
measuring accuracy, it is recommended to have a
straight length of pipe up and down stream from
the valve as shown (D - diameter of pipe).
Note:
Install a strainer upstream of the valve
(e.g. Dan foss FVR/FV F)

Mixing or diverting connection
3-way valve can be used either as mixing or
diverting valve (fig.1).
If 3-way valve is installed as mixing valve
meaning that A and B ports are inlet ports, and
AB port is outlet port it can be installed in mixing
(fig.2) or diverting application (fig.3).
Fig. 4: Diver ting valve used in divertin g application
3-way valve can be also installed as diverting
valve in diverting application (fig.4) meaning that
AB port is inlet and A and B ports are outlets.
Note:
Maximal closing pressure for mixing and diverting
insta llation are no t the same. Plea se refer to value s stated
in Technical data section.

Example
Design data:
Flow rate: 6 m3/h
System pressure drop: 55 kPa
Locate the horizontal line representing a flow
rate of 6 m3/h (line A-A). The valve authority is
given by the equation:
Where:
Δp1 = pressure drop across the fully open valve
Δp2 = pressure drop across the rest of the circuit
with a full open valve
The ideal valve would give a pressure drop equal to
the system pressure drop (i.e. an authority of 0.5 ):
if: Δp1 = Δp
2
In this example an authority of 0.5 would be
given by a valve having a pressure drop of
55 kPa at that flow rate (point B). The intersection
of line A-A with a vertical line drawn from B lies
between two diagonal lines; this means that no
ideally-sized valve is available.
The intersection of line A-A with the diagonal
lines gives the pressure drops stated by real,
rather than ideal, valves. In this case, a valve with
kVS 6.3 would give a pressure drop of 90.7 kPa
(point C):
The second largest valve, with kVS 10, would give
a pressure drop of 36 kPa (point D):
Generally, for a 3 port application, the smaller
valve would be selected (resulting in a valve
authority higher than 0.5 and therefore
improved control). However, this will increase
the total pressure and should be checked by the
system designer for compatibility with available
pump heads, etc. The ideal authority is 0.5 with a
preferred range of between 0.4 and 0.7 .
