    IMI TA / Balancing valves / TBV

    TBV
    The TBV terminal valve delivers accurate hydronic balancing.

    Key features
    >> Handwheel >> AMETAL®
    User-friendly handwheel for easy Dezincification resistant alloy that
    balancing and shut-off. guarantees a longer valve lifetime, and
    lowers the risk of leakage.
    >> Self-sealing measuring points
    For simple, accurate balancing.

    Sizing
    When Δp and the design flow are known, use the formula to
    calculate the Kv-value.

    Setting
    Setting of a valve for a given pressure drop, eg corresponding to The valve is now set.
    position 4 is done as follows:
    1. Check that the handwheel is fully opened (fig A). There is a diagram for every valve size that shows the flow for
    2. Push the handwheel downwards and turn the scale (fig B) so different pressure drops and settings.
    that position 4 is pointing at the index* of the valve body (fig C).
    3. Release the handwheel.
    (Press the side of the grip (fig D) to make sure that the scale is in
    locked position.)

    Closing / Opening
    Close: Turn the handwheel clockwise until stop.
    Open: Turn the handwheel unclockwise until stop
    Note: The handwheel must only be either fully opened or fully closed.

    Noise
    The following conditions must be fulfilled in order to avoid noise The maximum recommended pressure drop in order to aviod
    in the heating system: noise: 30 kPa = 0,3 bar.
    • Flows correctly balanced
    • The water in the system must have been de-aerated
    • Circulation pumps which do not give too high differential
    pressure (alternative use a differential pressure controller, e.g.
    STAP).

    Measuring accuracy
    Flow deviation at different settings Try to avoid mounting taps and pumps, immediately before the
    valve.
