Miller Flow Switches, Johnson The diverting circuit is more demanding in terms of technical design but is cheaper in capital and running costs. This port is typically labeled NO (for normally open), although it is sometimes labeled B (bottom port). Notice how the valve ports are labeled; it is important that control schematics be labeled in this manner to be sure the valve is piped in the desired configuration so that it will fail to the proper position and respond properly to the control action of the controller. Mixing valves are less expensive than diverting valves and thus are more common. Modulating control valves have an inherent operating characteristic called rangeability factor. The rangeability factor of a control valve is the ratio of the maximum flow to the minimum controllable flow. Controls HVAC Controls, KMC Some versions are available with a self-learning capability, which corrects the initial programme until it matches the building responses, and an optimum off control, which takes account of the allowable drop in space temperature at the end of occupancy. 5.5B its external appearance.

Coriolis Mass Flow Meters, GF Signet Control system consisting of programmable process controllers to inject controlled quantities of ammonia into the flue gas stream.
The common port is oriented so that flow always returns to the distribution return. Mixing valves make good modulating valves although they can be used like two-position valves, taking the full flow from one or the other inlet to the common outlet. The other port is normally closed to the common and is typically labeled NC (normally closed), although it is sometimes labeled A or U (upper port).

Thermometers, Ashcroft Duratemp Remote-Mount In this case, the output of the heat exchange equipment is not linear to flow rate. The valve must close off against the highest pressure drop from X to AB. This field helps the water droplets settle faster. Controls Humidity Sensors, Johnson Electric Thermostats, Johnson The installed ability of the same valve to control to low flows is the turndown ratio. In the real system, the pressure across the valve does not stay constant. Thus, for the resulting flow 3, the exergy at an instant tk is, By means of an exergy balance, we can obtain the rate of exergy destruction in the mixing valve. To find the static pressure a valve must be rated for, the following formula is used: Static Pressure Rating (in psig) = [(HFP + HT) + (HP - HF)] / 2.31.

Digital Scanners and Alarm Annunciators, Precision Digital Instruments Signal Conditioners, IP950X Most characterized ball control valves, however, have very high rangeability factor (usually > 150:1). For example, Kuwait crude (31.2 API) requires 78vol% water addition relative to the crude rate. LX Field Controllers, Johnson The secondary chilled water circuit for the chilled beams is connected to the primary chilled water system and is continuously circulated using a three-way mixing valve for flow water temperature control.

On the other hand, the mixing process produces finer (smaller diameter) droplets which tend to stabilize the emulsion and make water separation more difficult. 0000007839 00000 n
Figure5.6. In the case of condensing boilers the return water should pass through the condensing heat exchange of the boiler prior to flowing to the mixing valve. This exergy destruction will be greater when the temperature difference between the two flows is higher and will also depend on the relationship between the mass flow rates. 5.7 we show Eq. #[+8KX@9L

Pneumatic Thermostats, Siemens Research Differential Pressure Gauges, AshcroftCommercial Three-way valves are used in many closed-system applications. When the condenser is below the level of the cooling tower a bypass using a two-way valve is recommended.
This characteristic is measured under laboratory conditions with a constant differential applied to the valve only. The carrier gas pressure is maintained constant, and the flow rate depends on the number of injector zones in service. Consideration should be given to a higher-efficiency boiler, possibly a condensing type. Pneumatic Actuators, JohnsonControlsPneumatic When the condenser is at the same level or above the cooling tower, a three-way diverting valve is recommended in the bypass section.

Once the determination has been made as to what three-way valve youre dealing with, mixing or diverting, modulating or two-position, the selection should proceed much like two-way valves. %PDF-1.4 % The presence of these molecules on the surface of the droplets acts as a shield that prevents the droplets from uniting with each other in what is called coalescence.

While three-way valves are most commonly used where constant fluid flow is desired, in reality they will not result in constant flow no matter which plug style is selected. The more common use of mixing valves over diverting valves is apparently the reason why two-way valves are traditionally placed on the return side of coils (where a mixing valve must go) rather than on the supply side (where a diverting valve would be), as shown in Figure 3-1. In the mixing of these two water flows at different temperatures there are no energy losses since the process can be considered adiabatic, but there are significant exergy destructions, as we saw in the analysis done in Section 2.17.3.1 of Chapter 2. Water System, Honeywell Toroidal Electric Pneumatic Thermostats, Johnson Also in cold and temperate climates, it is possible to use outdoor and thus cover major part of the cooling energy with free cooling (see Chapter 6). In Figure 3-19, the common port of the diverting valve is shown in the same location as that on the mixing valve, on the side. Figure5.7.

Controls Flow Switches, Honeywell Temperature Sensors, Honeywell Two-way valves located on the return side of coil piping will maintain pump discharge pressure on hydronic coils to enable positive air venting from the coil return header.

Controls Transformers, Functional Devices RIB Calling the mass flow rates m1 and m2, with T1 and T2 being their respective temperatures, from the mass balance (m1+m2=m3) and energy balance (m1h1+m2h2=m3h3) we can find the resulting temperature T3. For three-way valves used in chilled water-hot water, summer-winter changeover, mixing two-position or diverting, use a line size valve. This is accomplished through an electrostatic electric field between two electrodes. In effect, the balance is, Calling =T2/T1 gives the following expression for the exergy destroyed per unit resulting flow. However, if the water level gets too high and reaches the lower electrode, it shorts out the desalter. From a functional perspective, it makes no difference on which side of the coil the two-way valve is located. The valve takes hot water from the boiler and mixes it with the cooler return water to provide a circulation of mixed water of sufficiently high temperature to meet the heating demand. The anhydrous system vaporizer is the once-through type. Notice that, like two-way valves, the plugs for both mixing and diverting valves are arranged to avoid water hammer (i.e., flow is under the valve seat). As noted above, the balancing valve can be used to ensure that the flow is the same when flow goes 100% through either the coil or the bypass. The water inlet temperature of chilled beams (1418C) is generally significantly higher than the supply water temperature for the air-handling unit's cooling coil for dehumidifying the primary supply air (79C). This avoids the inefficient use of a large boiler solely to heat a calorifier in the summer months. Variable Area Flow Meters, King Therefore, whenever we mix two flows of the same fluid at different temperatures, exergy destruction will take place. hb```a``J``e`a`@ +sL`,;eF n I P+O -`x~FE}*,+7OYjuG9'BS-p?p[`0b#@b'>5@ N"

Visifloat and RateMaster Flow meters, Hedland The water should be relatively soft in order to prevent scaling. The optimum start controller monitors the outside and inside temperatures and computes the start time that will just bring the temperature up to design by the start of occupancy. Hence, a valve that has decent rangeability (say 20:1) but poor authority (say 0.2) will not have good capability to control down to low flows (rangeability 200.2 = 9:1), and may only be able to provide on-off control over a good part of its flow range. The wall injectors have several advantages over injection grids: lower cost, improved load-following capability, simplicity of installation, lower fouling tendency, and no cooling requirements. Fig. In Figure 4, the maximum pressure the valve would have to close-off against would be equal to the sum of the pressure drops in the coil, coil pumping legs, and the valve with full flow from B to AB. <<6DE9FB632CF3934FA3852E460CB9D7A3>]>>
In the aqueous ammonia system, an ammonia stripping system or a hot air vaporization system can be used instead of a vaporizer. In Figure 3, we are varying the amount of flow through the coil.
