Scope
balancing & flow control valves frese introduction
This section contains an account of why it is necessary to balance

a water distribution system for the distribution of heating or cooling
effects, the considerations that should be made before the system is
designed, the result of balancing and the difference between a static
and a dynamic balancing valve.
What is a Balanced System?

Definition: A distribution system is in balance when the flow
in the whole system (through the component terminal lines,
distributing lines and main distributing lines) corresponds to
the flow rates that were specified for the design of the system.
The dimensioned “hydraulic” condition of operation can be
simulated by means of the opening of all the valves regulating the
flow depending on the temperature (room temperature, outdoor
temperature or medium temperature) either as manual radiator
valves, self-regulating thermostatic valves or electrically actuated
valves.
In practice it is recommended that balance is established by means
of a number of balancing valves that can be pre-set individually to
an assessed orifice dimension. Together with the rest of the system
they will then establish the exact flow resistances to ensure a correct
distribution of the flowing medium.
Figure 2.1 A Balanced section with a distributing line for three terminals.
Figure 2.1 Shows an outline of a minor section of a balanced water

distribution system. Referring to the figure above the distribution system
is in balance when the system contains a number of regulation valves that
have been pre-set to be mutually dependent so that the flow through the
component terminal lines, distributing lines and main distributing lines
corresponds to the flow rates that were specified for the design of the
system.
The information provided in this catalogue is based on original manufacturers’ designs and specifications and subject to change without
3.2 notice. Crane Distribution accepts no liability for the accuracy of the information or the availability of products.
frese introduction
In an analogue electric system the balancing valves are comparable

with a variable resistance, and the resistance of the pipes with the
corresponding wiring resistance, and the effective heating-/cooling
surfaces with a load resistance (fig. 2.2). The distribution of the
electric power through the component load resistances, distributing
lines and main distributing lines, depends on the distribution of the
resistance in the circuit, similarly to a water distribution system.
The Need for Balancing

If the correct balancing of the system has not been established, this
will result in an unequal distribution of the flow, so that there will
be a surplus effect in some of the terminals, whereas the effect will
be inadequate in others. The result of this will be that the wanted
heating/chilling will not be ensured in all parts of the installation.
Figure 2.2 An analogue electric system In practice it is not possible to make a correctly balanced system by
manipulation of the piping or alteration of the pipe dimensions only.
Only a correct adjustment of the balancing valves shown in figure 2.1
will ensure the correct distribution of the flow in the system.
Design Considerations
The engineer in charge of the design and installation of a system
should aim at:
• Substantial operating effectiveness
• Achievement of the required comfort at the lowest operating
costs possible
• Avoiding unnecessary waste of energy resources.
For the design and selection of equipment for the balancing and
control of a system the following should be taken into consideration:
(A) Type of application
(B) Type of the building in question
(C) The required room temperature/comfort
(D) Type of the hot domestic water supply
(E) Acceptable deviations from the comfort parameters
(F) Minimization of the primary energy
(G) Application of heat recycling
(H) Economic factors
The result of (C), (E) and (F) is very much dependent on the correct
distribution of the flow in the system. Therefore the quality of
the balancing should meet the the required comfort and energy
efficiency.
The quality of the balancing is partly dependent on the type of the
required balancing valves (static versus dynamic valves, ref. the
following section), compared with the required adjustment method,
and partly the design of the required components for the verification
of the flow in the system.
The following quality parameters should be specified during the
phase of design:
• Type of balancing valves
• Adjustment method
• Verification of flow, where and how?
• Acceptable deviations of the flow

frese introduction
The Result of Balancing
A satisfactorily balanced installation will show the following results:

• Correct flow in boilers and chillers.
• Correct distribution of flow and effect in the whole system.
• Compatibility between all flow rates in primary and secondary
lines.
These results will ensure the following benefits:
• The room temperature is adjustable within the specific deviations.
• Energy saving as a result of the favourable conditions of the
equipment that controls the energy transfer.
• Achievement of the required indoor climate.
Why are Balancing Valves Required?

We answer that question on the basis of figure 2.3
The figure shows a schematic outline of a simple installation that
contains a boiler/chiller, three identical terminals with the same
flow requirement, and a pump to make the heat transfer medium,
i.e. water or water/glycol circulate in the system. The top half of
the diagram represents the pressure distribution throughout the
schematic layout shown in the lower half of the diagram. The branch
‘nodes’ are indicated on both the distribution diagram and the
schematic by the small lettering.
Figure 2.3 Simple installation and its pressure distribution.

In the piping there will be friction between the flowing medium and
the pipe wall. This frictional loss makes the pressure decrease along
the pipe in the direction of the flow. This will be seen from the falling
pressure line between the branching points.
qvn = ∆p/(R . rn), in which qv = flow
∆p = pressure drop The flow rate between two points is determined by the pressure
R = resistance of pipes, single resistances differential between the points and the resistance of pipes, valves
(fittings, terminals etc.) and valves and terminals against the flow. The arithmetic coherence can be
n = exponent expressed by the equation to the left.
r = density The resistance of value R can be read from tables, please see the
respective product catalogues. The exponent n varies in relation to
the pipe sizing.
frese introduction
The pressure drop Delta p1 is referred to as the ‘index circuit’. The

index circuit is the circuit that has the highest resistance to flow. It
is normal for this to be the circuit most remote from the pump. This
pressure drop can be found by means of the equation delta p1 = R1
x (qv x r)n, in which the resistance of the terminal R1 and the wanted
flow q v are known values.
The pressure drop across the three identical terminals will be the
same, provided the same flow is required through all of them, i.e.
Delta p1 = Delta P2 = Delta p3.
In order to bring about this identical pressure drop across the
terminals and associated piping it is necessary to connect another
resistance in series with the resistances of the terminals, so that the
residual pressure drop between branching points BF and CG can be
absorbed.
Figure 2.4 Absorbing 'residual' pressure
If the installation in question is not equipped with balancing valves
after terminals (2) and (3), the flow through the three terminals will
vary so that terminal (3) will be exposed to the major flow, terminal
(2) to a smaller flow, and terminal (1) to the smallest flow. In that case
the system will not be in the required state of balance.
Figure 2.4 shows the distribution of the pressure drop between
branching points BF. From this you will see that the adjustment of the
regulating valve to the required resistance value has to be carried out
with regard to not only the terminal but also
the connecting pipes.
The final adjustment is usually carried out by indirect measurement
of the flow through the regulating valve simultaneously with
measurement of the flow through terminal (1). The regulating valve
to terminal (2) is to be adjusted to ensure that the proportion of the
measured flow rates through terminals (1) and (2) is the same as the
one between the indexed flow rates between the two terminals.
Hereafter the valve is adjusted to terminal (3) to ensure that the
proportion between the measured flow rates through terminals
(3) and (2) is the same as the one between the indexed flow rates
between the two terminals.
This adjustment method is called the ‘proportional method’.

features is that it can be pre-adjusted to a given flow and be locked

The valve is an automatic regulator valve that with a reference to the
differential pressure automatically adjusts to the kv value necessary
to maintain the required flow. The kv value of the valve automatically
compensates for any changes of the differential pressure, so that the
flow will never exceed the pre-set flow.

When are Flow Measurement Devices required? Where are Balancing Valves required?

Static Systems: During the adjustment it should be possible to Figures 2.6 and 2.7 show a section of the same system, in which
measure the flow through each terminal (coil in air-condition, not figure 2.6 has been designed as a static system, and figure 2.7 as

measurements involve a degree of accuracy of +/- 25%, it will be
inappropriate to verify the flow through the individual terminals.
Instead, measurement/verification of the flow in the supply line
is recommended. For verification of the flow in the supply line it is
recommended that a fixed orifice device is used with a specified
accuracy which is +/- 5% above that of the measured flow.

frese alpha cartridges
Application
balancing & flow control valves frese alpha cartridges

The Frese Alpha Cartridges are particularly designed and
manufactured for the automatic balancing of heating and cooling
circuits. They are integral part of the Frese Automatic Balancing
Valves keeping the flow constant at the specified level even under
fluctuating pressure conditions. From small size valves (DN15) to
big wafer types (DN800), from small heating units to sea-water
district cooling applications, there is a Frese Alpha Cartridge that can
guarantee the specified flow.
The advanced patented design of the Frese Alpha Cartridges
introduces the orifice plate concept for higher performance and
flexibility. With the Frese Alpha Cartridges it is no longer needed to
change the cartridge every time the design flow is modified. Each
cartridge contains an orifice plate specific for every flow that can be
easily removed and replaced by another one.
Advantages
• O
nly one differential pressure operating range (up to 350 kPa
for DN15 to DN50, up to 600 kPa for sizes DN50 and upwards)
making the sizing of the cartridge very easy (depending only on
the design flow).
• Complete, broad and well-balanced distribution of flows for the
full range of heating and cooling applications (from 0.015 l/s and 7
kPa min. differential pressure to 11.381 l/s, per cartridge).
• Minimized friction and noise due to the patented cartridge design
based on the metal-rubber diaphragm-metal contact.
• Improved response to water hammer due to the shock absorption
by the rubber diaphragm of the cartridge.
• No impact of debris on the performance of the cartridge. The
design of the inlet and the outlet areas makes the accumulation of
particles inside the cartridge very difficult.

• Quick and easy installation of the cartridge in the valve.
• Minimized commissioning time due to automatic balancing of the
system.
Operation
• U nproblematic performance even with high concentration of
debris.
• Noiseless operation.
• High comfort for the end-users.

• Modifications & extensions of the system
do not affect the hydraulic balance in the
other parts of the system
• Tamper resistant cartridge independent of
flow regulation errors during commissioning and operation of the
system
• Self-cleaning cartridge not allowing dirt to compromise the
accuracy of the valve
• Resistant diaphragm between the moving parts of the cartridge
eliminates friction, noise and impact from water-hammer.

of flow in various sections of the system. The dynamic balancing
valve ensures easy and reliable balancing of the system, regardless
of any fluctations in the differential pressure of the system. Frese S
limits maximum flow in the system, and ensures the most economical
operation. Can be used in both variable and constant flow systems.

Specification
The valve should be a automatic balancing valve with the option of

setting the flow without interference of operation. The valve should
include P/T plugs for the verification of differential pressure. The
valve should only be adjustable by means of a lockable handle.
Function
The operation of the Frese S can be simplified by breaking it
down into it’s two main components, a pre-adjustment unit and
a differential pressure control unit. The Frese S valves, react to
pressure fluctations so that the differential pressure across the
pre-adjustment unit is kept constant. In that way a max. flow limit is
ensured in accordance with the design.
Frese S
Flow Characteristic
The illustration shows how the flow in a Frese S valve reacts
in accordance to the pump pressure. For comparison we have
added the typical flow characteristic for a static balancing valve.
The differential pressure unit of the valve will work as soon
as the differential pressure provided by the pump is sufficient.
Consequently, the rated flow is maintained regardless of any
pressure fluctuations in the system.
Frese S valve
Setting the Valve

The valve is easily set and the pre-setting is read on the scale on the
handle. See flow rate graphs attached for settings.
NOTE: the scale is for the adjustment of flow. If you want to shut off
flow you should use a partner isolation ball valve.
The handle can be locked after adjustment. Remove the cap marked
'Frese' and tighten with 5mm hexagonal key.

Flow Verification

The flow through the valve can be identified by measuring the
differential pressure (Δp) across the valve:
- If the measured differential pressure is above the minimum
Δp, the flow is the one stated on the graph for the valve.
- If the measured differential pressure is below the minimum
Δp, the flow can be found by using the formulas below.
Flow Calculation
Q = m3/h
Q = kV · √Δp
Δp = Bar
Q = L/h
Q = kV · 100 · √Δp
Δp = kPa
Q = kV · √Δp Q = L/s
36 Δp = kPa
Flow Rate Example Frese S, DN15

Measurement of the differential pressure across the valve.
Rated flow 500 L/h - 0,0139 L/s
1. The rated flow is used as the point of reference for the overall
rating of dynamic systems. (See the graph)
2. The pre-setting for the valve is found by means of the flow rate
graph. Setting = 5.2.
3. To the right in the graph you will see the minimum differential
pressure required from the pump by each valve. Requires 18,3 kPa.

frese EVA two-way automatic balancing valve
Application
balancing & flow control valves frese eva two-way automatic balancing valve
Frese Eva is a valve particularly designed for the balancing of cooling

and heating units. With it’s simple on/off control the valve can be
used for many different applications, and at the same time advantage
is derived from the dynamic control principle. By means of Frese
Eva the optimum flow rate is ensured in each control area. This flow
rate is maintained in spite of pressure fluctuations in the system. (A
control area may be two fan coil units for a hotel room or a calorifier
for a sports centre).

frese optima pressure independent control & balancing valve
Application
balancing & flow control valves frese optima pressure independent control & balancing valve
Frese OPTIMA pressure independent control valve (PICV) is used in
heating and cooling systems in applications with Fan Coil Units, Air
Handling Units or other terminal unit applications.
Frese OPTIMA provides modulating control with full authority
regardless of any fluctuations in the differential pressure of the
system.
Frese OPTIMA combines an externally adjustable automatic
balancing valve, a differential pressure control valve and a full
authority modulating control valve.
Frese OPTIMA makes it simple to achieve 100% control of the
water flow in the building, while creating high comfort and energy
savings at the same time. An additional benefit is that no balancing
is required if further stages are added to the system, or if the
dimensioned capacity is changed.
Design Features
1. Less time to define the necessary equipment for a hydraulic
balanced system (only flow data are required).
2. No need to calculate valve authority. The constant differential
pressure across the modulating control component guarantees
100% authority.
3. Flexibility if the system is modified after the initial installation.
4. No further regulating valves required in the distribution pipework
when Frese OPTIMA is installed at terminals.
5. Total number of valves minimized due to the 3-in-1 design.
6. Minimized commissioning time due to automatic balancing of the
system.
7. Removable cartridge solution simplifies flushing procedure.
8. No minimum straight pipe lengths required before or after the
valve.
9. High comfort for the end-users due to high precision temperature
control.
A Frese strainer ball valve in the supply line combined with a Frese Optima
(two way automatic balancing valve) in the return line of a cooling/heating unit. 10. Longer life due to less movements of the actuator.
11. Less energy consumption due to faster response and increased
system stability.
12. The presetting function has no impact on the stroke; Full stroke
modulation at all times, regardless the preset flow.
13. Automatic balancing eliminates overflows, regardless of
fluctuating pressure conditions in the system.
14. Electrical actuator 0-10 V and 3 point control, normally closed.
15. Differential pressure operating range up to 400 kPa.
16. High flows with minimal required differential pressure due to
advanced design of the valve.
17. More accurate control due to long 5mm stroke.
18. Higher presetting precision due to stepless analogue scale.

disconnecting from the power, the supply must be disconnected and
then reconnected, whereby the actuator will start the calibration
process and correctly adjust itself. Do not forget that a manually
operated valve must go through the calibration process before
commencing normal operation again.

Design
4 5 F4 The design of Frese OPTIMA combines high performance with small

size and compact construction.
The main components of the valve are:
1. The pressure control cartridge
2 2. The modulating control component
3. The presetting scale (not accessible when the actuator is
1 mounted)
4. The P/T plugs (optional)
5. The electrical actuator
Commissioning
The Frese Optima is delivered to Australian customers with a
commissioning cap and the pressure control cartridge installed. The
commissioning cap keeps the modulating component in a fully open
3 position to aid the flushing process. For automatic balancing valves
a backflush is recommended as a forward flush with the pressure
control cartridge installed will begin to operate and limit the flow to
the valves maximum flowrate. During flushing the valve must be
in the fully open position.
Tags, labels, and a presetting list can be supplied with each valve
upon request. At this point the user can then adjust the presetting
dial to the design flow. Once the flow is set, the actuator can be
mounted (this also prevents tampering of the presetting) and the
valve is ready to operate.
Pre-settings can be checked simply via flow vs. presetting graphs
page 3.38 to 3.42.
Specification text
Actuator 5
The actuated valve shall operate by means of an automatic balancing
cartridge that can be removed without dismantling the valve. The
presetting of the valve shall not influence the length of the stroke.
The pressure class shall be PN25. The differential pressure operating
Pre-setting scale 3 range shall be up to 400kPa. The valve shall operate by means of an
electrical modulating actuator.

Flow Rate vs. Differential Pressure Operation Principle
(Preset flow: 625 l/h, 300 l/h)
The innovative design of Frese OPTIMA introduces a modulating
Flow (l/h)
control component that retains 100% authority at all times.
With the Frese OPTIMA, there are two independent movements
for the presetting and the modulating function. During presetting,
the inlet area moves radially without interfering with the length
of the stroke. During modulating, the inlet area moves axial taking
advantage of the full stroke. In the example, the flow is modulated
throughout the full range from 10 to 0V regardless of the preset flow
(i.e. 625 l/h or 300 l/h).
Whilst the control component provides proportional modulation
irrespective of the preset flow, the automatic balancing cartridge
guarantees that the flow will never exceed the maximum preset flow.
Regardless of pressure fluctuation in the system, the maximum flow
is kept constant up to a maximum differential pressure of 400kPa.

frese circon+/temcon+ thermostatic valve
Application
balancing & flow control valves frese circon+/temcon+ thermostatic valve

CirCon+ and TemCon+ are control valves designed for domestic hot
water installations with circulation.
The valves automatically control the temperature of the water that
circulates through the valves. Thus the thermal balance is ensured
throughout the domestic hot water system. The valve is adjusted on
a scale to a desired temperature in the interval between 37°C and
65°C.
TemCon+ is equipped with a by-pass located outside the thermal part
of the valve. So, TemCon+ is suited for hot water installations with
bacterial problems, eg Legionella. Here a procedure of raising the
temperature of the water to between 70°C and 80°C is carried out at
certain intervals.

Design Features
1. The thermostatic element is located out of contact with the
circulating water, and its dry location prevents scale problems.
2. The setting of the valves is stepless between 37°C and 65°C at
an accuracy of +/-2°C.
3. Each valve is calibrated seperately.
4. The valves are coated with tin/nickel, which is
an anticorrosive coating.
5. TemCon+ has a by-pass for high-temperature operation from 70°C
to 80°C.

Operation Principle - Circon+ Thermal Control

Circon+ controls on the basis of the temperature of the water that
circulates through the valve. If the valve is set to a temperature of
e.g. 50°C, and the temperature of the circulating water is under
50°C, the valve opens. If the temperature is over 50°C, the valve
closes.
To Set
The temperature setting is between 37°C and 65°C. Remove the cap,
and the temperature is easily set by a screwdriver as shown here.

Operation Principle - TemCon+

Control at Two Operating Temperatures
TemCon+ was designed to control two sets of temperatures:
Normal Operating Temperature
Normal operation occurs at temperatures from approx. 50°C to 60°C.
That is economic operation at low precise flow rates, which ensures
a high level of comfort at all draw off taps and exact termperature in
all circuits.
High Operating Temperature
High operating temperature is used at intervals for the pasteurization
of domestic water at 70°C to 80°C.
To Set
The plastic cap is dismantled by means of a screwdriver that fits into
the slot in the cap. Then the manually operated by-pass can be set
steplessly to a Kv-value between 0.0 and 0.3.
