VZL valves provide a high quality, cost effective
solution for the control of hot and/or chilled
water for fan coil units, small reheaters, and
recoolers in temperature control systems.
The valves are used in combination with:
- AMV(E) 130(H)/140(H) ABNM A5 with
extension plug;
- AMV(E) 13 (SU) and TWA-ZL actuators.
Note:
TWA-ZL thermal a ctuator does not close po rt B.
In case that stem e xtension plug is not used tog ether with AMV(E)
130(H)/140(H) dea d zone in valve close position wil l occur.

Main data:
• DN 15, 20
• kVS 0.25-3.5 m3/h
• PN 16
• Temperature:
- Circ. water / glycolic water up to 50 %:
2 … 120 °C
• Reduced kVS on B port (VZL 3 & VZL 4 only)
• Linear characteristic
• Linear bypass on 3 and 4 port valves
• Valves are supplied with screwed plastic
cover for manual operation
Before valve mounting the pipes have to be
cleaned and free from abrasion. Valve must
be mounted according to flow direction as
indicated on valve body. Mechanical loads of the
valve body caused by the pipes are not allowed.
Valve should be free of vibrations as well.
Application schemes for 3-way and 4-way
mixing valves
3-way and 4-way valves are mixing valves
meaning that A and B ports are inlet ports, and
AB port is outlet port (f ig. 1). In case valve should
be used as diverting valve it is a solution to install
valve in return pipe (f ig. 2).
To prevent damages, starting max. p must not
exceed 1 bar for DN 20 and 2/2.5 bar for DN 15,
when installing the valve.
TWA -ZLABNM-A5
Installation of the valve with the actuator is
allowed in horizontal position or upwards.
Installation downwards is not allowed.

Note:
Install a strainer upstream of the valve
(e.g. Dan foss FVR/FV F)
Locate the horizontal line representing a flow
rate of 0.3 m3/h (line A). The valve authority is
given by the equation:
ΔP
1
N authority, Valve
ΔPΔP
21
Where:
P1 = pressure drop across the fully open valve,
P2 = pressure drop across the rest of the circuit
with a fully open valve
The ideal valve would give a pressure drop equal
to the system pressure drop (i.e. an authority
of 0.5):
If P1 = P2,
ΔP

N
=
ΔPΔP

=

In this example an authority of 0.5 would be
given by a valve having a pressure drop of
20 kPa at that flow rate (point B).
The intersection of line 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 with the diagonal
lines gives the pressure drops stated by real,
rather than ideal, valves. In this case, a valve with
kVS0.63 would give a pressure drop of 25 kPa
(point C):
authority valve hence

0.56
0252
The second-largerst valve, with kVS 1, would give
a pressure drop of 9 kPa (point D):
authority valve hence
9
0.31
0 29
Generally, for a 3 port application, the smaller
valve would be selected (resulting in a valve
authority higher than 0.5, and therefore
improved controllability). However, this will
increase the total pressure and should be
checked by the system designer for compatibility
with available pump head, etc.
The ideal authority is 0.5 with a preferred range
of between 0.4 and 0.7.
