FLOWMATIC® Pressure Independent Control Valve (PICV)
The pressure independent control valve is a device composed of an automatic
flow rate regulator and a control valve with optional actuator. The device can
adjust flow rate and keep it constant in the presence of changing differential
pressure conditions of the circuit in which it is installed.
Flow rate is adjusted in two different ways:
-manually on the automatic flow rate regulator, to restrict the maximum value.
-automatically by the control valve in combination with a proportional (0–10 V) or
ON/OFF actuator, in accordance with the thermal load requirements of the circuit
to be controlled.
The pressure independent control valve (PICV) is supplied complete with pressure
test ports for confirming pressure differential and flow rate.
