What is Balancing Valve?

The valves that are used in the central heating and cooling systems based on the flow of the water are termed as Balancing Valves. Balancing is a practical technique for setting systems to meet design requirements. It helps overcome a wide range of system conditions where pipe sizing and pipe configurations alone cannot set a system in balance. The latest flow technology is used by these valves and they also ensure that if there is no change in the pressure within the system then the design flow rate of the system will be achieved at all times. The rate of the design flow is determined by the velocity of the water flow in the tube of the coils. The minimum flow is 1.5 ft / s (0.46 m / s) and the maximum flow is 12 ft / s (3.7 m / s).

Balancing Valves – Screwed

When the system is unbalanced, water takes the easiest path through the system where the resistance is lowest and as per the result of the terminal units, radiators, fan coils, air handling units, chilled beams and radiant panels that are closest to the pump are provided with excess water flow. Units that are further away from the pump, seek insufficient flow. When balancing a system, flow distribution is changed so that critical circuits can be provided with the required flow. When the system is balanced, water flow can be set to design the requirements of all parts of the circuits. This results in good thermal comfort and no unnecessary energy consumption. Screwed balancing valves are the efficient operation of control devices to achieve energy savings, Room temperatures will be optimized throughout the building and lower fuel bills for the building occupier. 

Balancing valves – Flanged

Flanged balancing valves help ensure that all components in a hydronic system achieve the required design flow. These valves are more accurate than screwed Balancing valves. The effect on the selection of the control by the flow system was not initially realized but flanged balancing valves are very effective for this purpose.

Applications of the balancing valves

There are numerous applications of the balancing valves. They are mostly used in boilers and HVAC chiller system to regulate the flow of liquids such as water. Creating a consistent output pressure to a system from an inconsistent input pressure from another system is the main purpose of the balancing valves. Balancing valves are also used as the heat exchangers for ensuring the optimum flow of the liquid throughout the system.

Customer satisfaction is the main motive of our company. If you are also interested in buying these valves then it will be our pleasure to provide service to you.

Applications of Valves in Water Industry

In industrial engineering, manufacturing and scientific communities, there is a vast use of valves. The main objective of the valve is to control the flow and pressure of water and to release air from the water system. Valves play a very ample role in the water industry.  Water valves are used in many parts of daily mechanical devices such as HVAC and water system in an office.

 

Most Common Valves Found in the Water Industry and their Characteristics

 

1. Gate Valves

Gate valves are the most common valves found in the distribution system. Gate valves are mostly used for the on/ off control. Gate valves prevent the flow of the liquid in both directions. They are very easy to install and to maintain. Gate valves are cost efficient and they are mostly used in petroleum industries because of their abilities to cut through liquids.

2. Butterfly valve

Butterfly valve also known as quarter turn valve because it provides 90-degree rotary motion for stoppage. They often came in large sizes but short in length and are of very light weight. They posses very low torque requirements.

3. Ball Valves 

Ball valves are considered as ideal for pump check services. In ball valves a ball rotates between two circular seats which are made up of a kind of PTFE and co- polymer. They exist in a small size range between 1/2” to 12”. These valves are used in higher pressure applications. Ball valves can be operated with less torque than gate valves and has small dimension and are lighter in comparison of gate valves.

4. Plug Valves

Plug valves are used to control the flow by rotating the conically tapered plugs inside the valve body. They came in a very simple design with few parts and their maintenance and repair is very easy to do. They contain very low head cost and comes drip tight closing.

5. Regulating Valves

 Regulating valves are designed to enable the direct control of flow rate and the considerable control of process quantities i.e. reduces the flow/ pressure. A high head loss can be tolerated by regulating valve and they came with multiple control scenarios. These valves are installed on trunk or industrial pipelines and it consists of a regulating unit which varies the flow cross-section.

6. Air/Vacuum Release Valves

 As it is clear from the name that these types of valves releases air during the filling and testing of pipe and it also releases air that naturally accrues in pipes. During draining it allows air into the pipe and it also assures the pipeline carrying capacity.

SKG Pneumatics Inc is one of the best suppliers of all kinds of industrial valves such as Gate Valves, Globe Valves, Ball Valves, Check Valves, and Non-return Valves, Pressure Reducing Valves, Shutoff Valves. If you want to buy any kind of valves or want to know more about our organization, then we are always at your service with our heart and soul.

Functions and Applications of Automatic Balancing Valve


Automatic balancing valves are used in heating and cooling systems where water flows through the system. Balancing valves are used to ensure the correct distribution of water flow within the system. Water flows from one system to another. When water is flowing in this way it is possible that the pressure is not consistent enough. This can lead to an inconsistent output. To control and regulate these valves are used.

Functions of balancing valves

When Check Valves & Non-return Valve are used in hydronic systems, it ensures a proper design flow within the system leading to a better working of the cooling system where it is being used. Apart from this the other functions of automatic valves are:

  • They work as pressure independent control valves and help to limit flow to achieve the desired rate of flow.
  • It is an automatic valve and does not require manual intervention. This makes it simpler to use and there is no dependence on external persons.
  • Ensures the best flow rate that can improve the efficient working of the system.
  • Valves help to eliminate vibration and noise from the system where they are used.
  • Automatic valves help to achieve better temperature control and cooling is more effective.
  • Since it is automatic in nature, there is no need for a person to be employed to physically operate the valves, thus it leads to savings in terms of labor and time – this translated to savings in money.
  • Easy addition of additional devices to the system without having an effect on balance.

Uses and applications of balancing valves

Automatic control valves have many uses and applications. It is commonly used in applications like:

  • It is used in HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Cooling) systems used in large commercial and residential buildings to ensure temperature control.
  • It is used in chilled ceilings where a cooling effect has to be produced.
  • It can even be used in fan coil units.
  • It can be effectively used in any heating or cooling system where a balanced flow is needed.

Installation

Automatic balancing valves are very useful devices used in most cooling systems. When an organization wishes to buy and install these valves, they need to make sure they get it from one of the leading suppliers of Balancing valve. A well-known manufacturer and supplier would ensure quality in the valves. Durability and reliability are what one needs to look at while buying these valves.
