Alwa-Kombi-4
Circulation throttle valve
Product specification sheet
Application
The Alwa-Kombi-4 is used as throttle valve for hydronic balancing
of warm potable water circulation systems.
To achieve a hydronic balance the flow in the circulation pipe is
throttled by manually pre-setting the valve. The valve can also be
equipped with a thermal actuator which allows a regulation of the
water temperature in the circulation system to the exact degree.
The thermal actuator can be installed without interruption of the
warm water supply.
When the thermal actuator 50 - 60 °C (122 - 140 °F) is used, a
thermal disinfection according to DVGW worksheet W551 and
W553 is supported. Hydronic balance is also retained during the
thermal disinfection process to ensure disinfection of all pipelines
and risers.
Special Features
• Meets KTW requirements
• For regulation according to DVGW worksheets W551 and
W553
• Valve housing and all parts with flow-contact made of corrosion-resistant red bronze
• Retrofittable automatic temperature-control with support of
thermal disinfection
• Draining option with retrofittable and removable draining
adapter
• No additional side connections to valve housing
• Cavity-free cartridge with maintenance-free spindle sealing
• Spindle thread is isolated from the flow
• Seat sealing made of PTFE
• Visible, digital pre-setting dial with concealed pre-setting
handwheel
• High accuracy due to factory calibration to every single valve

Method of Operation
As throttle valve the Alwa-Kombi-4 limits the flow through the
circulation pipe. This is achieved either by manually closing the
valve to a certain position or automatically, when the valve is
equipped with a thermal actuator.
Manual pre-setting: the valve is pre-set according to a calculated
value and stays in that position. The flow of the water is limited
by the narrowed valve opening.
Automatic regulation: the valve is equipped with a thermal
actuator and pre-set to the desired water temperature. The
thermal actuator holds the water temperature at the valve to the
exact degree.
When the water temperature falls the valve opens and the flow of
warm water increases. When the water temperature rises, the
valve closes and shuts-off when the pre-set water temperature is
reached (except for a leakage rate).
With manual pre-setting the valve can only be set for optimal
operation under „full load“. The automatic regulation process
allows a permanent regulation and by that an optimal supply of
all pipelines under most economical energy use.
As part of Honeywell´s "Kombi“ family of valves, additional
functions can also be fitted and used after the valve has been
installed. The functions are carried out by installing adapters into
the cartridge spindle:
• The thermal actuator (preferably 50 - 60 °C [122 - 140 °F])
can be installed at any time without interrupting the supply of
warm water. The actuator is simply screwed into the spindle
and allows permanent hydronic balancing based on the
water temperature in the circulation pipe.
• The draining adapter is fitted to drain a pipe or riser and can
be removed when the draining process is finished. It can be
used with any Alwa-Kombi-4 potable water balancing valve
and also with any Honeywell Kombi-3-plus heating/cooling
balancing valve.
• The current temperature in the circulation line can be read on
the thermometer at any time. The thermometer can be used
for variants both with and without a temperature-controlled
actuator.
• The sampling valve is used in conjunction with the drain
adapter and is used to determine chemical and microbiological parameters.
Thermal disinfection at temperatures over 70 °C (158 °F)
Supported by Alwa-Kombi-4 with fitted thermal actuator
50 - 60 °C (122 - 140 °F)
Starting from the leakage rate the valve opens at a water temperature of 63 °C (145 °F) and the flow rate increases.
When the water reaches a temperature of 72 °C (162 °F) the flow
of the water is throttled to a flow rate below the leakage rate. This
has the advantage that the hydronic balance is retained and the
hot water is repily distributed in all risers and pipelines.
When the thermal disinfection process is finished and the water
temperature drops again, Alwa-Kombi-4 returns to the standard
control position..

Pre-setting values for thermal actuators
We recommend:
Pre-setting value =desired minimal temperature
(standard setting)
Desired minimal temperature
55 °C (131 °F) = Pre-setting 1.5
If the required throttle position according to DVGW worksheet
W553 is to the right of the 2K-line (tempreature in pipe is below
53°C [127°F] at pre-setting 1.5) the pre-setting has to be
increased by 2K:
Desired minimal temperature
55 °C (131 °F) + 2K = Pre-setting 1.7
If the required throttle position according to W553 is to the right
of the 5K-line (temperature in pipe is below 53 °C [127 °F] at presetting 1.7) the following possibilities are left:
• Manually pre-set thermal actuator and valve with values
calculated according to DVGW worksheet W553.
• Use valve of larger dimension.
• Increase pre-setting by 5K:
55 °C (131 °F) + 5K = pre-setting 2.0
The increased pressure loss over the valve must be taken into
account when the pump is specified!
When installation is set according to above recommendations
the hydronic balance is also retained at 70 °C (158 °F) - during
the thermal disinfection process.
