Engineering Data Fixed Orifice Double Regulating Valve - FODRV

The data in this section relates to bronze fixed orifice double regulating valves (FODRV) Fig 1732L (1/2), 1732M (1/2), and 1732 (1/2 to 2). . Note: Suffix L indicates low flow, M indicates medium flow and C indicates compression end for copper pipe. The correction factors used to calculate the Kvs values for copper pipe are based on an average value of compression fittings. If other pipe materials and adaptors are used please contact the Hattersley Technical Department. 1.0 Flow Coefficient Kv/Kvs Note: Kv relates to the FODRVs pressure loss whilst Kvs relates to the signal across the orifice for flow measurement. Kv = Kvs = Q P where Q = flow rate m3/h. P = differential pressure in bar.

Engineering Data Fixed Orifice Double Regulating Valve - FODRV

5.0 Valve Sizing The design method for sizing components is to establish firstly, the mass flow rate needed to carry the required amount of heat to a zone and secondly, to relate this to an appropriate flow velocity or pressure loss per unit length. A pipe size can then be selected and all components are line size. In the case of metering stations and DRVs the same rule applies because their design is based also on appropriate flow velocities and pipe pressure losses. As the power of the pump is determined from the index circuit, it is of no consequence what the head loss is through the DRVs other than fully open. Note that the delivery of the pump is based on the requirement of the complete system. 6.0 Ratio The ratio is the ratio of the orifice diameter to pipe bore diameter and this has been carefully selected for each metering station to minimise the effects of variations in internal bores or where an incorrect grade of pipe has been used and to cater for lower velocities sometimes encountered in smaller pipe sizes. 7.0 Installation Straight Pipe Lengths It is important that there should be minimum of 5 diameters of straight pipe upstream and 2 diameters of straight pipe downstream, without intrusions, of the Fig 1732 for repeatable performance. Less than these diameters will increase inaccuracy to an unacceptable level, the value of which is unpredicable as it is not a stable value.
