Linked Globe Valve Assemblies with Linear SmartX Actuators

Globe Valve Assemblies

The Schneider Electric VA, VF, and VS‑7000 and ‑9000 series Linked Globe Valve Assemblies with Schneider Electric SmartX Linear Series Actuators are complete actuator/valve assemblies

that accept two position, oating, or proportional control,

respectively, from a DDC system or from a thermostat, for control of hot water, chilled water, and steam.

These valve assemblies consist of Linear Series spring return

Schneider Electric SmartX Actuators directly mounted on 1/2” up

to 4” (15 mm to 80 mm) 2-way and 3-way globe valve bodies. 3-way assemblies are available for mixing (1/2” to 4”) and diverting (1/2” to 2”) applications. The Linear Series Schneider Electric SmartX Actuators feature linear travel and an integral linkage, eliminating the need for separate linkages.

Typical applications include reheat on VAV boxes, fan coil units,

hot and chilled water coils in air handling units, unit ventilators,

and central system applications.

Globe Valve Assembly Selection Procedure

When selecting a globe valve assembly, you must deter mine the applicable codes for the control signal type, valve body conﬁguration, end connection, port size, and actuator. Select a globe valve assembly part number as follows:

1. Control Signal Type, Valve Body Conﬁguration, and End Connection

Referring to “Part Numbering System” on page 4, select the appropriate codes for these part number elds.

2. Valve Size (Flow Coefﬁcient)

If the required ow coefcient (C

a. Refer to the “Sizing and Selection” section on pages 8 to 11, to calculate the required Cv.

b. Select the nearest available Cv and corresponding valve body port code from “Part Numbering System” on page 4.

3. Actuator

Select the appropriate actuator and code, according to “Part Numbering System” on page 4, based on the control signal type, required valve normal position, and voltage requirements. For detailed actuator information, refer to the applicable actuator specications on page 16, 19, or 21.

Note: Globe Valve Assemblies are not available with Mx51‑7103‑0x0 actuators (equipped with appliance wire). However, if

required, you may eld-assemble one of these actuators to a globe valve body. For information on Mx51-7103-0x0 actuators, refer to page 16.

4. Close-off Pressure

Conrm in Table-3 or Table-4 that the selected actuator and valve body combination provides sufcient close-off pressure. If no

close‑off pressure is shown, the valve body/actuator combination is not valid.

5. Available Space

If available space is a consideration, check the appropriate dimensional gure (Figure 8 through Figure 19) and its accompanying table for any potential t problems.

Linked Globe Valve Assembly

The information in this section describes characteristics of the VB-7xxx and VB-9xxx valve bodies, which are used in the Vx-7xxx and Vx-9xxx valve assemblies.

Control Precision

2-Way Valves: All valves have modiﬁed equal percentage ﬂow characteristics. That is, for equal increments of valve stem stroke, the change in ﬂow rate with respect to valve stroke may be expressed as a constant percent of the ﬂow rate at the time of the change. The change of ﬂow rate with respect to valve stroke is relatively small when the valve plug is near the valve seat and relatively high when the valve plug is nearly wide open. See Figure 1 for typical modiﬁed equal percentage ﬂow characteristics of VB-72xx and VB-92xx series valves.

Figure 1 Typical Modiﬁed Equal Percentage Flow Characteristics.

3-Way Valves: 3-way mixing valves are designed so that the ﬂow from either of the inlet ports to the outlet is approximately linear, which means the total ﬂow from the outlet is almost constant over the stroke of the valve stem. See Figure 2 for typical ﬂow characteristics of the VB-731x and VB-931x series valve bodies.

3-Way Valves: For mixing valves, control begins as soon as plug displacement allows ﬂow. Thus, the rangeability of 3-way valves normally exceeds 500:1, which is the reciprocal of 0.2% nominal leakage.

Seat leakage for reduced port versions of metal-to-metal seats may match the full port versions, allowing up to 1% on the 0.4Cv plugs.

close-off ratings are based on ANSI IV (0.01%

Installation Considerations

Mounting Angle of Valve Assembly

Be sure to allow the necessary clearance around the valve assembly. The valve assembly must be mounted so that the valve stem is at least 5° above the horizontal. This ensures that any condensate that forms on the valve body will not travel into the linkage or actuator, where it may cause corrosion. On steam applications, where the ambient temperature approaches the limit of the actuator, the valve assembly must be mounted 45° from vertical. See the applicable Actuator General Instructions for details.

Insulation of Linked Globe Valve Assembly

The globe valve should be completely insulated to minimize the effect of heat transfer and condensation at the actuator.

Caution: The actuator and the integral linkage must not be insulated. Doing so will result in excess heat or condensation within the actuator.

Temperature Limits for Globe Valve Assembly

When installing the globe valve assembly, obser ve the minimum and maximum temperature limits given in the Actuator Speciﬁcations and

Valve Assembly Mounting Dimensions section of this document.

Sizing and Selection

Flow Coefﬁcient (Cv)

Two-position Control

Two-position control valves are normally selected “line size” to keep pressure drop at a minimum. If it is desirable to reduce the valve below

line size, then 10% of “available pressure” (that is, the pump pressure differential available between supply and return mains with design ﬂow at the valve location) is normally used to select the valve.

Proportional Control

Proportional control valves are usually selected to take a pressure drop equal to at least 50% of the “available pressure.” As “available

pressure” is often difﬁcult to calculate, the normal procedure is to select the valve using a pressure drop at least equal to the drop in the coil or other load being controlled (except where small booster pumps are used) with a minimum recommended pressure drop of 5 psi (34 kPa). When the design temperature drop is less than 60°F (33°C) for conventional heating systems, higher pressure drops across the valve are needed for good results (Table-2).

Table 2. Conventional Heating System

Design Temperature Load Drop °F (°C)

60 (33) or More 50% 1 x Load Drop

40 (22) 66% 2 x Load Drop

20 (11) 75% 3 x Load Drop

a - Recommended minimum pressure drop = 5 psi (34 kPa).

Secondary Circuits with Small Booster Pumps: 50% of available pressure difference (equal to the drop through load, or 50% of booster pump head).

Recommended Pressure Drop (% of Available Pressure)

Multiplier on Load Drop

When sizing a valve, you must select a ﬂow coefﬁcient (Cv), which is

deﬁned as the ﬂow rate in gallons per minute (GPM) of 60°F water that will pass through the fully open valve with a 1psi pressure drop (ΔP) It is calculated according to this formula:

where ΔP is measured in psi.

Since the ﬂow rate through the heat exchanger is usually speciﬁed, the only variable normally available in sizing a valve is the pressure drop. The following information in this section can be used to determine what pressure drop to use in calculating a valve Cv. Once you have calculated the Cv, consult “Part Numbering System” on page 4 to select the valve body having the nearest available Cv.

Note: Metric equivalent.

The metric measure of ﬂow coefﬁcient is kvs, which is calculated according to the formula: kvs=

(where DP is measured in bar; 1 bar = 100 kPa.).

If the Cv is already known, it may be converted directly to its kvs equivalent: kvs=

3-Way Proportional Mixing Valves Used to Bypass Flow

When 3-way proportional linked globe valve assemblies are used to control ﬂow through a heating or cooling coil, the valve assembly is piped on the outlet side of the load to throttle the water ﬂow through the load, and therefore control the heat output of the load (Figure 4).

Figure 4 Typical Piping of 3-Way Mixing Valve for Control of Heating or Cooling Coil.

3-Way Proportional Mixing Valves used to Blend Water Flows

Proportional 3-way mixing valves used to blend two water ﬂows (Figure 5) control the heat output by varying the water temperature to the load at constant ﬂow. These valves do not require high pressure drops for good control results. They can be sized for a pressure drop of 20% of the “available pressure” or equal to 25% of the pressure drop through the load at full ﬂow.
