Danfoss valve controls and balances heating systems in one

Danfoss’s Dynamic Valve achieves temperature control and automatic hydronic balancing in a single product. Designed for installing at radiators, this device combines a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) and built-in differential-pressure controller. The latter eliminates pressure fluctuations, a common cause of heating-system complaints such as noisy radiators, uneven heat distribution and unacceptably high levels of energy waste.

These valves are easy to install and offer faster commissioning. They also reduce the amount of water circulating through a system, making it possible to optimise pump settings or reduce pump size.

Using an industry-standard 1 to 7+N scale, each valve can be set quickly to a maximum flow rate from 25 to 135 l/h, and the flow is not affected by normal pressure fluctuations. The system balance is not affected by building occupants adjusting a radiator thermostat or valve settings.

The Dynamic Valve was developed as a cost-effective alternative to Danfoss’s ASV valves and offers an economic choice for a wide range of buildings using 2-pipe radiator systems having only a few radiators on each riser.

‘Red tape scrapping is welcome – but more policy changes are needed’

The CEO of heat pump manufacturer Aira UK has said the government’s new proposals to scrap planning red tape for the installation of heat pumps in the UK will be a big breakthrough for the industry and consumers – but more policy changes are needed.

New procurement rules for NHS suppliers

New procurement rules mean NHS suppliers will need to demonstrate their green credentials so the NHS can achieve its target of becoming net zero for directly-controlled emissions by 2040, with an ambition to reach an 80% reduction in its carbon emissions between 2028 to 2032.
