Applications of a Bronze Balancing Valve
A bronze balancing valve is commonly used in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to help measure and regulate water flow. During commissioning, engineers can use the test points with a suitable differential pressure instrument to assess flow rates and help balance the system.
Effective water balancing helps distribute flow according to system design requirements, supporting the performance of suitable commercial heating and cooling installations.
Choosing the Right Balancing Valve
When selecting a VIP bronze balancing valve, consider the required pipe connection size, design flow rate, operating pressure and water temperature. Ensure the selected valve’s specifications meet the requirements of your installation.
The VIP Bronze Variable Orifice Balancing Valve is supplied complete with test points to support flow measurement during commissioning. Explore the VIP commissioning valve range for additional products designed for water flow measurement and balancing applications.
