Operation
The Watts ACV Rate-of-Flow Control Valve with Pressure Reducing Feature is designed to automatically limit ow rate to a constant, adjustable, maximum, and reduce a uctuating higher upstream pressure to a constant lower downstream pressure. In most applications, the Pressure Reducing function will be secondary to the primary Flow Control Function. The ow control action of the valve is controlled by a normally open, differential control pilot designed to: 1) Open (allowing uid out of the main valve cover chamber) when the differential pressure across the orice plate is below its adjustable set point, and, 2) Close (allowing uid to ll the main valve cover chamber) when the differential pressure across the orice plate is above its adjustable set point. A decrease in differential pressure causes the valve to modulate towards an open position, increasing ow rate. An increase in differential pressure causes the valve to modulate towards a closed position, decreasing ow rate. The pressure reducing action of the valve is controlled by a normally open, pressure reducing pilot designed to: 1) Open (allowing uid out of the main valve cover chamber) when downstream pressure is below the adjustable setpoint, and 2) Close (allowing uid to ll the main valve cover chamber) when downstream pressure is above the adjustable setpoint. A decrease in downstream pressure causes the valve to modulate toward an open position, raising downstream pressure. An increase in downstream pressure causes the valve to modulate toward a closed position, lowering downstream pressure. NOTE: Please specify desired ow rate prior to ordering.
Installation Guidelines
Prior to installation, ush line to remove debris. Install valve horizontally in line (cover facing UP), so ow arrow matches ow through the line. Avoid installing valves 6 or large vertically. Consult factory prior to ordering if installation is other than described. Install inlet and outlet isolation valves. NOTE: When using buttery valves, insure disc does not contact control valve. Damage or improper valve seating may occur. Provide adequate clearance for valve servicing and maintenance. Install pressure gauges to monitor valve inlet and outlet pressure.
