Danfoss launches large PICVs

Danfoss has added two high-flow models to its AB-QM range of pressure-independent balancing and control valves (PICVs). The 125 and 250 mm models enable Danfoss to offer a completed collection of PICVs for applications from DN10 to DN250. The largest model can handle flows up to 442 000 l/h. The new valves provide the potential to reduce project costs by downsizing valves.

The AB-QM range was launched in 2004, and over a million have been installed around the world. Balancing is simply a matter of selecting the required flow.

The problem of temperature fluctuations in different parts of a building is reduced, and stable room temperatures lead to a lower average temperature across the building, so less energy is required to achieve the same comfort level.
