KTM 512
High-performing and compact, these pressure-independent control
valves for variable flow heating and cooling systems are particularly
effective in situations requiring high temperatures and/or pressure
drops. They are also suitable for use on the secondary side in district
heating and comfort cooling systems. Rust protection is assured due
to the electrophoretically painted ductile iron body, while the plug
delivers valve characteristic, suitable for modulating control.

Key features
>> Inline design >> Adjustable flow
Inline flow allows high pressure drops Ensures the design flow.
without noise.
>> Adapters
For use with most available actuators.

The throttle (2) for flow adjustment, the control valve (9) and the
V+ 1 2 3 4 5 6
diaphragm operated inline the differential pressure controller (6)
are built in series in a common valve body.
Pressure upstream of the throttle acts through an internal
impulse pipe (V+) to the inlet side of the diaphragm (8).
Pressure downstream the control valve acts to the outlet side of
the diaphragm together with a spring force.
The differential pressure controller pressure relieves the control
valve, and at the same time limits the flow to the preset value.
As the control valve is pressure relieved, it is possible to use low
force actuators.

Installation
Install the valve in the return pipe, downstream the consumer, Application example
or in the inlet pipe, upstream the consumer. Flow direction is
shown by the arrow on the valve body.
Install the valve so that venting is possible and the flow
adjustment scale is visible. Check allowed positions of the
actuator.
Installation of a strainer upstream of the valve is recommended.
When filling, vent the body by using the venting screws.

Normal pipe fittings

Try to avoid mounting taps and pumps immediately before the
valve.

Actuator recommendation at varying inlet pressures

The minimum actuator force required to operate the KTM 512 valves is dependent upon the maximum inlet pressure of the system.
The following table shows the actuator recommendations from IMI Hydronic Engineering at varying inlet pressures.
For other inlet pressures, the graph (Fig. 1) should be used to establish the minimum actuator force required.
