Construction and function

5.1 Survey and functional description
The balance is achieved by a presetting with memory position. The calcula-
ted flow rate or pressure loss for each individual pipe can be preset central-
ly and be regulated precisely.
The required values of presetting can be obtained from the flow charts. The
flow charts are valid for the installation of the double regulating and com-
missioning valve in the supply or the return pipe provided the direction of
flow conforms to the arrow on the valve body. All intermediate values are
infinitely adjustable. The selected presetting can be read off two scales
(basic setting longitudinal scale and fine setting peripheral scale, see illus-
tration 7.1).
The limit stop of the presetting is maintained even if the double regulating
and commissioning valve is closed.
The Oventrop double regulating and commissioning valves have two threa-
ded ports which are equipped with the pressure test points for measuring
the differential pressure.

6 Installation
Before installing the valve, the pipework has to be flushed thoroughly.
Installation is possible in any position (horizontal, oblique or vertical, in
ascending or descending sections). It is important to note that the direction
of flow must conform to the arrow on the valve body and that the valve
must be installed with L = 3 x Ø of straight pipe in the upstream side and
with L = 2 x Ø in the downstream pipe. The double regulating and commis-
sioning valve can be installed in either the supply or the return pipe.
After installation, the handwheel and measuring connection must be easily
accessible.
The warning notes under paragraph 2 (safety notes) must be
observed
CAUTION
• Do not use any lubricant or oil when installing the valve as these may
destroy the valve seals. If necessary, all dirt particles and lubricant or oil
residues must be removed from the pipework by flushing the latter.
• When choosing the operating fluid, the latest technical development
has to be considered (e.g. VDI 2035).
• A strainer has to be installed in front of the valve.
• Safeguard from external forces (e.g. impacts, or vibrations).
Once installation is completed, check all installation points for leaks.

7 Operation
7.1 Deaeration of the system
Before initial operation, the system has to be filled and bled with due consi-
deration of the permissible working pressures.
7.2 Correction factors for water and glycol mixtures
The correction factors of the antifreeze liquid manufacturers have to be
taken into consideration when setting the flow rate.
7.3 Presetting
1 The preset value of the valve is adjusted by turning the handwheel.
a) The display of the basic setting is shown by the longitudinal scale
together with the sliding indicator. Each turn of the handwheel is repre-
sented by a line on the longitudinal scale.
b) The display of the fine setting is shown by the peripheral scale on the
handwheel together with the marking. The subdivisions of the peri-
pheral scale correspond to 1/10th of a turn of the handwheel.
2 The set value of presetting can be limited by turning the adjustment stem
clockwise until it seats. This can be done by using the long end of a
4 mm Allen key.
7.4 Visibility/readability of the setting scales
Depending on the installation position of the double regulating and com-
missioning valve, an improvement of the visibility/readability of the setting
scales is obtained by twisting the scales.
With the valve fully closed and the two setting scales on "0", remove cover
plug, undo screw and with a light tug pull the handwheel from the valve
stem. Next, without altering the presetting (still indicating "0"), adjust the
position of the handwheel so that the display window is clearly visible.
Finally refit the handwheel to the valve stem, tighten the screw and replace
the cover plug.

7.5 Protecting the presetting
The sealing wire may be fitted through the hole in the handwheel and a lead seal may
be fitted.

7.6 Locking the handwheel
The handwheel can be locked in any position (1/10th of a turn). To do so, push the
enclosed clip into the cut-out of the handwheel below the holes between the guides
until stop (see illustr. 7.2).
The clip can now be sealed as illustrated. It is essential that the sealing wire is fitted
tightly.
