CALEFFI 142 Series Manual

Variable Orifice Balancing Valve
© Copyright 2018 Caleffi
Function Caleffi 142 series low lead manual balancing valves are used to measure and adjust
the fluid flow rate in hydronic or plumbing circuits. Characterized flow plug which
provides precise system balancing valves and highly accurate flow compared to
other setters with ball valve control. Turning the knob moves a plug within the fluid
stream which varies the flow rate. The flow rate is determined according to the
pressure drop value measured by a differential pressure meter connected to the
pressure test ports, included. The flow rate is directly determined from the pressure
differential created across the two test ports as fluid passes the adjustment plug. The
valve design is variable orifice with pressure ports located upstream and downstream
of the adjustment plug. Compared to fixed orifice designs where both test ports are
located upstream of the adjustment plug, for a given size and flow rate, the variable
orifice design produces a greater differential pressure value. In very low flow rate
applications and with good fluid quality, this larger differential pressure signal can
result in more accurate balancing. A memory stop feature allows the valve to be
closed, and later reopened to the original set position. Insulation shells are available,
purchase separately.
