PRODUCT DATA
Application
The V5012C Kombi-DP diaphragm unit is installed onto a
V5010 Kombi-3-plus BLUE or V5032 Kombi-2-plus return
mains balancing valve and connected to a V5000 Kombi-3plus RED or V5100 Stop Valve-3 supply mains valve with the
supplied impulse tube.
It is used in systems with variable volume flows, for example
two-pipe heating systems or district heating exchangers, and
supports a hydronic balance by keeping the differential
pressure over consumers at a constant pre-set level even
under changing flow conditions.
The V5012C Kombi-DP diaphragm unit can be fitted to the
Kombi-Valves at any time, even when the system is under
pressure and in operation – operation of the system does not
have to be interrupted to install the V5012C Kombi-DP.
Features
• Retrofittable without interrupting operation of the
system
• Rugged design
• Two pre-setting ranges available: 0.1...0.3 bar or
0.3...0.6 bar differential pressure
• Suitable for V5010 Kombi-3-plus BLUE DN10...DN40
and V5032 Kombi-2-plus DN15...DN40

V5012C KOMBI-DP
Function
The V5012C Kombi-DP diaphragm unit is installed onto a
V5010 Kombi-3-plus or V5032 Kombi-2-plus return mains
balancing valve and connected to a supply mains valve with
the supplied 4 x 1mm copper impulse tube and compression
fittings. Suitable supply valves are the V5000 Kombi-3-plus
RED or the V5100 Stop Valve-3 which are both compatible
with the supply valve adapter of the V5012C Kombi-DP kit.
The pressure of the supply pipeline is led to the Kombi-DP via
the impulse tube and acts onto the top of the diaphragm, the
pressure of the return pipeline is led to the Kombi-DP through
the return valve and acts onto the bottom of the diaphragm.
Dimensions
When the supply pressure increases, the diaphragm inside
the Kombi-DP is pushed down against the return pressure.
The diaphragm acts onto the insert of the connected return
valve and the flow is throttled.
When the supply pressure decreases, the diaphragm inside
the Kombi-DP is pushed open by the return pressure. The
diaphragm moves up, releasing the insert of the return valve
and the flow increases.
The desired differential pressure can be preset from 0.1...0.3
or from 0.3...0.6 bar, depending on the type used.

NOTE: The pump pressure must be set at least 0.1 bar above the pre-setting value, e.g. Dp 0.3 Î P
bar. The total pressure drop across supply and return valve, taking the V5012C Kombi-DP pre-setting into account, can
be calculated with Honeywell’s Valve Sizing Software at www.honeywell-valvesizing.com.
The V5012C0103 is factory set to 0.1 bar. The pre-setting can be increased to max. 0.3 bar. In that case the control
curve as displayed in Fig. 4 moves in parallel to the pre-setting value.
The V5012C0306 is factory set to 0.3 bar. The pre-setting can be increased to max. 0.6 bar. The control curve as
displayed in Fig. 4 moves in parallel to the pre-setting value.
In some special cases, e.g. heating systems with unrestrichted TRVs, the flow can additionally be throttled by reducing
the pre-setting value of the balancing valve.

NOTE: The V5010 Kombi-3-plus BLUE or V5032 Kombi-2-plus balancing valve has to be pre-set to 1.5 (sizes DN10...DN25)
or to 1.0 (sizes DN32...DN40) when used with the V5012C Kombi-DP diaphragm unit. Lower pre-settings can be used
to further throttle down the flow, see Table 4 on page 5.
