Mount according to flow direction as indicated
on valve body.
Valve mounting
Before mounting the valve be sure that the pipes
are clean and free from swarf. 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 allowed position as described below.
<
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 re-tighten.
Note:
Install a strainer upstream of the valve
(e.g. Danfoss FVR/FVF)

Example
Design data:
Flow rate: 60 m3/h
System pressure drop: 55 kPa
Locate the horizontal line representing a flow
rate of 60 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 = Δp2
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 63
would give a pressure drop of 90,7 kPa (point C):
The second largest valve, with kVS 100, would
give a pressure drop of 36 kPa (point D):
