Valve Installation Balancing Approvals Classification Troubleshooting Warranty Introduction • Albion Valves (UK) Ltd ART 20C is a Pressure Independent Control Valve (PICV) which can be used to regulate the pressure differential in a circuit and to control the amount of fluid flowing through it. • Thanks to their unique design, PICV’s can perform flow regulation, differential pressure control and modulation for comfort control. Flow Regulation When an electric actuator is not present or the plastic cap has been removed, the valve is normally open. -

The valves may be installed in horizontal or vertical pipework, but the actuator must never be sited underneath the valve. • The valve is uni-directional and should only be used for flow in the direction shown on the valve. • Suitable gaskets / sealing material should be used during installation. • When setting the valve, the valve can be set by rotating the adjustment knob which sits underneath the cap.

Page 5: Balancing
Using a differential manometer, check that the differential pressure is higher or the same as the minimum value reported in the tables. The differential manometer interfaces with the balancing valve through the two binder points of the valve. When balancing is achieved, lock the pre-setting dial by screwing it down completely, preventing it from being unintentionally rotated.
