A thermostatic balancing valve has a sealed thermostatic "motor" in the flowstream of the valve body, which responds to temperature to open and close the valve to control water flow.Apr 29, 2020
What is oventrop?
Oventrop is one of the leading European manufacturers of valves and controls for the building services industry. ... Oventrop offers a full line of thermostatic radiator valves and controls, pressure independent control valves, and hydronic balancing valves.
How does a thermal balancing valve work?
The balancing valve works by regulating the flow of water within it depending on the temperature. Once the water temperature rises to its set point at 70°C, the thermal balancing valve restricts the flow. A bypass opens following a higher flow rate for disinfection purposes to protect against Legionella.
Who owns oventrop?
The Fähnrich and Rump families become shareholders in the company.

How does a balancing valve work?
Dynamic balancing valves work as flow limiters. They are set to a desired flow rate and ensure that a larger flow rate does not take place. If the pressure in front of the valve increases, it will close some more, so the pressure loss across the valve becomes correspondingly higher.
Which way does a balancing valve go?
Shifting viewpoints on flow controls can cause disagreements where balancing valves should be located in closed loop systems. Many (including us at Hays Fluid Controls) agree that the balancing valves should be placed on the return side, whereas other companies may choose the supply side.May 26, 2016
When would you use a balancing valve?
The role of balancing valves are to control the flow rates in each of the buildings branches to deliver the desired flows in low temperature, chilled, or hot water applications. At each heat exchanger the balancing valve is set to provide the desired flow rate to maintain comfort and energy.May 26, 2016
Is a globe valve a balancing valve?
The globe-type calibrated manual balancing valve is the best choice for proper balancing of a system, and it has the greatest pressure drop of any of the calibrated manual balancing valves available.
