THERMOSTATIC ACTUATORS WITH LIQUID-FILLED SENSITIVE ELEMENTS AND TEMPERATURE LOCKING


SERIES 148 148SD - 148CD - 148GA

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS - Available in the versions: Standard With Remote Sensor With Remote Control - Provision for using them with tamper-proof cover. - Compact size and reduced weights

- Derived from actuator model 138 which, when associated with valves of Series 13OUM and 131UM, it is CEN certified in accordance with EN215/1 and HD1215.2.

DESCRIPTION
Thermostatic actuators Series 148, 148SD, 148CD are devices for automatic room temperature control, by acting directly on the radiator of radiator-type heating systems. The actuators, which are installed on the thermostat adaptable radiator valves, automate the valve plug movement through the presence of an element, inside the knob, which is sensitive to variations in room temperature.

APPLICATION
These devices (whose use is compulsory through Italian Act 10/91), when coupled with thermostat adaptable valves, adapt the amount of heat emitted by the radiators to the required temperature and ensure high comfort levels with consistent energy saving thanks to naturally occurring heat sources in the room.

OPERATION
The device is operated by a liquid-filled sensitive element incorporated in the knob, which, upon expanding or contracting, acts on the valve plug rod in relation to the deviation between set-point and actual room temperature. When the room temperature exceeds the required level, the sensitive element determines the gradual closing of the valve plug and therefore it appropriately reduces the hot water flow feeding the radiator; when, instead, the room temperature drops, the actuator causes the valve plug to open thus producing an increase in the circulation of hot water in the radiator, so that the temperature set in each single room is held at a constant level.

Temperature locking
For quick setting and finding the ideal adjustment for each single room, the actuator is provided with temperature locks, degree-by-degree, which allow above all:

Fig. 1 - Turn the actuator knob so that the indicator corresponds to the required max. value. See Pic. 1: Pos. 3 = 20C. Fig. 2 - Lift out the first lock on the right and place it immediately alongside the indicator. Hence the upper limit of the adjustment range is fixed (Pos. 3).

Pic.1

Fig. 3 - Turn the actuator knob until the indicator points to the required minimum value. See Pic. 3: Pos. 2 = 16C. Fig. 4 - Lift out the lock on the left and place it immediately alongside the indicator. Hence the lower limit of the adjustment range is fixed (Pos. 2). Therefore the setting can easily be readjusted in relation to the various daily requirements thanks to this "memory" system.

Pic.3

The installation, which does not require any plumbing work, may also be carried out with the systems running and involves the following steps:
4

1) Remove the cap or handwheel from the valve body. 2) Make the presetting if necessary by following the design instructions or selecting the position from the appropriate charts. 3) Approach the thermostatic actuator in fully open position (Pos. 5) to the valve body, with the reference indicator clearly visible. 4) Tighten the nickel-plated ring nut by hand until fully home. It is recommended to avoid vertical positions of the actuator during installation.

INSTALLATION
Never allow the actuator to be affected by factors which could falsify measurement of room temperature (e.g. behind curtains, direct exposure to the sun's rays, radiator placed in a recess, etc...) and allow access to the adjustment handwheel (e.g. shielding of the radiator). When this is not possible, it is advisable to adopt versions with remote sensor Pic.5 (Art. 148SD) or with remote control Pic.6 (Art. 148CD). These models differ in that the sensor, detached from the transducer element through a liquid-filled capillary, may be placed in the most suitable point and hence measure the exact temperature existing in the room. Above all, model 148CD allows having both remote sensor and remote control; it is used when the valve position is such as to make manual adjustment difficult. The use of tamper-proof cover Art. 148GA is highly recommended to protect the actuator against accidental tampering and/or vandalism in public places (schools, hospitals, etc). Its installation is shown below.

Flow rate/pressure drop charts


The charts show the hydraulic flow rate and pressure drop characteristics for the valve body-actuator combination: in the thermostatic function they assume their own particular characteristics represented by straight lines -1K, -2K. The nominal flow rate qmN is the one corresponding to -2K when the presetting device is not operative. The straight line marked max represents the flow rate when the valve is fully opened. The diagrams are valid when a presetting is not made on the valve body.

THERMOSTATIC VALVE BODIES WITH PRESETTING


SERIES 130UM - 131UM - 1130UM - 1131UM SERIES 130UM - 131UM to CEN EN 215/1

MAIN FEATURES Available in the following versions: - Angle body, straight body - For iron, copper and polyethylene piping - With 3/8" radiator connection and 1/2" connection on pipe side - Plug stroke presetting device - Compact size - Conforms with UNI 8464/90

The 130UM and 131UM series are CEN certified in accordance with EN215/1 and HD1215.2 (Type 130F) when coupled with actuators Series 138 and its derived products (Series 148).

N.B. WATTS Cazzaniga manufacturers others CEN certified thermostat adaptable valves whose specifications are available on request.

DESCRIPTION
Thermostatic valve bodies Series 130UM, 131UM, 1130UM, 1131UM are used as shut-off and control devices for heat emitters (radiators, fan-coils, radiant panels, etc.) in heating and air-conditioning systems, coupled with thermostatic actuators Series 138 and its derived products Series 148. The valves are supplied in the angle and straight body configuration, with male and female thread. They require installation on the radiator. Connection is through an O-ring sealed straight tailpiece using an Allen wrench. Characteristic of the O-ring is that it ensures perfect external sealing each time the valves are installed on radiators instead of others (manual) which involve the risk of the internal threading on the radiator plug no longer conforming.

APPLICATION
Thermostat adaptable valves are designed for room temperature control in manual or automatic mode when coupled with thermostatic actuators (Series 148, 148SD, 148CD) or electrothermic actuators (Art. 10C, 20C, 20CI). The use of thermostat adaptable valves allows installation of metering systems (see Sections on Measuring and metering systems) as required by Italian legislation Act 10/91 art. 26. The valves are provided with active memory presetting which, when using thermostatic or thermoelectric actuators, enables exact balancing of the heating system. Such balancing is obtained by turning the ring nut located under the handwheel in order to limit the plug stroke. Above all when removing the handwheel for thermostatting the system, the active memory presetting holds the balancing made permanently.

OPERATION
Valve operation is by manual movement (through the protective cap) or automatic movement (combined with thermostatic or electrothermic actuators) of the plug which shuts off the heat carrier fluid. The hydraulic flow rate and pressure drop characteristics for the valves can be deduced from appropriate charts: in the thermostatic function they assume the characteristics of such device. The reliability of the thermostatic valve bodies Series 130UM, 131UM, 1130UM, 1131UM, is guaranteed by the 100% testing of the production which tests for water tightness of the valve body and its components towards the outside and the tight seal of the plug in its flow shut-off function.

Features 1) Presetting stuffing nut can be replaced also with the system under pressure. 2) Complete plug can be replaced without emptying the system by using Art. 225. 3) O-ring sealed tailpiece. 4) Plug seal of elastomeric material, vulcanized ethylene-propylene terpolymer (EDPM).

PRESETTING
1 - Pull out the handwheel by turning it anti-clockwise and fully close the presetting ring nut (Pic. 1). 2 - Open the ring nut until the required position by making the number to coincide with the reference notch (Pic. 2)

INSTALLATION
Valve selection is based on the size of the connection to the radiator and the connecting piping. Thermostatic valve bodies Series 130UM, 131UM, 1130UM, 1131UM can be installed on radiators supplied by iron, copper and plastic pipes, coupled with the balancing lockshield valves of Series 195UM, 196UM, 1195UM, 1196UM. When the system requires thermostatting, merely remove the protective cap from the cap and replace it with a thermostatic or electrothermic actuators by tightening the ring nut. All this can be done without plumbing work and with the system running.

APPLICATION
The electrothermic actuators of the 10C, 20C, 20CI Series, are used in the ON/OFF control of the heat emission of the terminal units of heating and air conditioning systems through an electrical signal transmitted by a room or timing thermostat. The use of electrothermic actuators, instead of thermostatic types, also allows remote control (pilot room); in fact, the room or timing thermostat, or control component, can be situated in the most suitable point of each room to be regulated.

OPERATION
Operation of the thermoelectric actuators 10C, 20C, 20CI Series, depends on a wax thermostatic element mounted in the actuators and activated by a PTC thermistor against a signal sent by a room thermostat (or timing thermostat). When the thermostatic element expands, it supplies the thrust required for automatic movement of the plug. The 4-wire version of the Series 10C, is provided with an auxiliary contact for additional commands (metering, control of pump, fan or other equipment). The 20C and 20CI Series are provided with a varistor to protect against surge in voltage. Moreover the Series 20CI is provided with a yellow position indicator which moves between a red and blue notch, visible on the transparent outer cap, thus signalling the open and closed position respectively of the valve on which it is installed. Reliability of the electrothermic actuators 10C, 20C, 20CI Series is guaranteed thanks to the 100% testing of the production.

INSTALLATION
The electrothermic actuators Series 10C, 20C, 20CI can be selected according to the type of system, available space and type of power supply. In systems with 2-way control valves fitted with electrothermic actuators it is advisable to install by-pass valves Series 466 or Series USVR to ensure a minimum recirculation of the fluid. The actuators can be made tamper-proof by fitting a lead seal, especially for applications in heat metering systems. Avoid installing the valve with the actuator facing down.

AUTOMATIC AIR VENT VALVES MANUAL VALVES FOR DISCHARGING AIR FROM RADIATORS

MAIN FEATURES
ADVANTAGE OF BUILT-IN MANUAL DISCHARGE - Provision for controlling operation of the automatic discharge by pressing the manual discharge pin. - By holding down the manual discharge, water flows through the orifice thus facilitating cleaning of the automatic discharge mechanism. - Rapid venting of air when filling the system.

MANUAL DISCHARGE

AUTOMATIC DISCHARGE

DESCRIPTION
The MAXIVENT valves are inspectable thanks to the opening left by the cover after unscrewing it from the tank; therefore it is also possible to clean the internal parts (float and lever) in case of ingress of foreign matter in the valve. Tight seal between the tank and cover is thanks to the presence of an NBR rubber seal. Long-term efficiency and performance of the vent movement is ensured by the valve design features. The seal system is designed to withstand vibrations, therefore it is unaffected by any external vibrations.

APPLICATION
Thanks to its particular size, the MAXIVENT valve finds application of automatic venting of air in large size water distribution pipes (e.g. distribution manifolds in the central system) and in all cases where it is necessary to eliminate large quantities of air from the system. The MAXIVENT valve is provided with manual air vent.

Manual vent valve Lever Plug Float Seals Cap Inlet connection

OPERATION
Valve opening and closing is determined by the float movement (up-down). When there is air in the MAXIVENT, the force of the float weight acts on the lever which is integral with the plug, thus causing it to move down. In such situation the seat is free and allows the air to be vented outside. When filling the system with water, the air entrapped in the water circuit is pushed towards the outside via the MAXIVENT valve. As soon as all the entrapped air is discharged, the water, entering the tank, pushes the float up. Consequently the lever moves the plug to press against the seat thus ensuring tight sealing of the system.

INSTALLATION
The MAXIVENT valve is normally installed: - In the highest point of the air separator - At the top of the columns installed in heating systems with expansion vessel - In all points where there is risk of air building up - At the top of the manifolds. After installation, in order to allow perfect air venting, unscrew the protective cap by at least two turns (such condition ensures the vent characteristics as given in the previous diagram).

APPLICATION
The DUOVENT valve is a development on the automatic MINIVENT valve. In fact DUOVENT has the same functions as MINIVENT, i.e. it is used for automatic venting of air in water distribution pipes in order to avoid certain phenomena of damage (corrosion processes, cavitation) and loss of efficiency (air pockets in radiators) of the heating system, but it is provided with an additional device allowing manual air venting. The manual air vent device offers the following advantages: a) It allows checking the valve for correct operation b) It allows reducing times for discharging air from the system by increasing the discharge flow rate c) Easier cleaning of the orifice by forcing water to flow through it. The DUOVENT MVDR valve is provided with an automatic shut-off valve (Art. RIA) which allows removal of the vent valve without having to empty the system.

OPERATION
During automatic operation, valve opening and closing is determined by the float movement (up-down). When there is air in the DUOVENT, the force of the float weight acts on the lever which is integral with the plug, thus causing it to move down. In such situation the seat is free and allows the air to be vented outside. When filling the system with water, the air entrapped in the water circuit is pushed towards the outside via the DUOVENT valve. As soon as all the entrapped air is discharged, the water, entering the tank, pushes the float up. Consequently the lever moves the plug to press against the seat thus ensuring tight sealing of the system. Manual venting is actuated by pushing down button (10); this can be done by exerting a pressure on the surface, for example with a screw driver. Such operation shifts head (9) integral with O-ring (12) to a position lower than the seat, thus allowing air and/or water to flow along stem. When water flows both from orifice (A) and (B), this indicates that all the air has been discharged from the system.

(comparison between manual and automatic venting) The automatic venting characteristics are similar to MINIVENT. The following diagram shows the automatic and manual venting curves in relation to pressure, assuming a manual plug movement of 1.5 mm.

AIR SEPARATORS AND DEAERATORS

The water in air conditioning and heating systems contains a certain amount of dissolved air: the high temperature and high speed of flow of the fluid causes separation of the air from the water. In closed circuit systems such phenomenon takes place with the formation of micro air bubbles which move to the top parts of the system and in the points where the fluid flows at less speed.

Such presence of air causes various problems such as: Increased deposit of scaling with consequent narrowing of the pipe sections Higher noise level in the systems Lower heat exchange capacities Increase in the rate of corrosion of the pipework

DESCRIPTION
The standard automatic air vent valves allow venting of air only when the latter is separated from the water and accumulated in the topmost zones of the system. The ERD deaerator allows reduction in speed with consequent aggregation of the air in maxi bubbles and the automatic venting of such air.

APPLICATION
The EDR is used for discharging air: - In circuits with circulator, at the highest point of the pipework to reduce noise and to increase efficiency - In radiant panel systems because the presence of air would reduce the efficiency of the panels - In air conditioning system to avoid entrapping of air in the heat exchangers.

SELECTION CRITERIA
Acceptable speed of water in heating-water-plumbing systems is between 1 and 2 m/s, therefore ERD25 is used for flow rates up to 60 litres/min, while ERD40 is used for flow rates up to 150 litres/min. Higher flow rates determine higher speeds with consequent less air venting capacity.

OPERATION
Principle of operation of the ERD air separator is as follows: - The speed of the fluid is reduced inside the device - The reduction in speed and the presence of the internal spiral mesh leads to separation of the micro air bubbles dispersed in the water - The micro bubbles, on coming into contact with the mesh, aggregate and tend to be conveyed to the top of the body, from where they are discharged by the auto matic valve.

APPLICATION
From the critical water speed diagram, it can be deduced that separation of air from water can only take place when the speed of the water lies below the critical speed value. Such value depends on the pipe diameter, on the slope of the latter referred to the horizontal plane (counter slope) and the water temperature. Air separators SA and SAF provide the most suitable conditions as regards the characteristics of the above mentioned points: - Increase in full flow (reduction in speed) - Zero counter slope (horizontal flow) with partial deviation towards the top owing to the internal fins - High temperature (determined by the positioning in the vicinity of the boiler). Hence the air collects at the highest point of the separator where an automatic air vent valve is installed (Minivent, Intervent, Microvent or Maxivent). For increased efficiency of the separator, the latter should be preceded by a straight length of piping.

APPROVED AND CALIBRATED SAFETY VALVES STANDARD SAFETY VALVE

I.S.P .E.S.L. APPROVED AND CALIBRATED SAFETY VALVES


The VST safety valves for heating systems are designed in accordance with the requirements of Body R edition 1982, technical specification, of Italian D.M. 1.12.75. Verification of the parameters and experimental determination of the discharge coefficient have been carried out in the presence of an I.S.P .E.S.L officer. The VST safety valves find application in heating systems with expansion vessel.

SIZING
The overall flow rate of the safety valve should be such as to discharge an hourly quantity of liquid equal to: W = P/ i where W P i = = = Discharge rate in kg/h Nominal capacity of the boiler in kcal/h heat of vaporization conventionally assumed to be 500

N.B. For boilers higher than 580 kW (500,000 kcal) in capacity, the discharge rate should be subdivided over at least two safety valves (R.3.B.7.3).

OVERPRESSURE
"Increase in pressure over the set pressure to allow the disc to complete the lift" (R.2.A.2.1.8) is, for the VST valves, < 10% of the set pressure.

BLOWDOWN
"Lowering of the pressure below the set pressure necessary to close the valve" (R.2.A.2.1.9) is, for the VST valves, < 20% of the set pressure.

All safety valves model VST are supplied complete with Factory-calibrated Report, undersigned by an I.S.P.E.S.L. engineer. DESIGN FEATURES Body and cap

DISCHARGE PIPING
Diameter of the discharge piping has been increased larger, as specified by the most advanced European standards; this characteristic, together with the use of a discharge tundish (Art. IS) allows the valve to operate under optimum conditions by having the discharge at atmosphere backpressure. Diaphragm and seal Manual discharge knob Spring Disc, stem and other parts

Brass CuZn40Pb2 DIN17660 stamped and shot-blasted EPDM rubber for temperatures up to 140C High impact plastic Galvanized steel C100 Brass CuZn40Pb2 DIN17660 drawn and machined

INSTALLATION
The VST safety valves "should be connected to the highest part of the boiler or to the outlet piping in the immediate vicinity of the boiler. The length of the piping between the connection to the boiler and the safety valve must not be greater than one metre" (R.3.B.2.4). "It should not be possible to shut off the connecting piping between the safety valve and the boiler nor should this piping have a section, at any point, under that of the safety valve inlet port..." (R.3.B.2.5). The discharge piping "should be engineered so as not to prevent the regular valve operation and not to cause injury to persons" (R.3.B.2.6). The diameter of the discharge piping should never be smaller than that of the outlet fitting from the safety valve".

In order not to impair correct valve operation, it is recommended not to install an elbow in the pipework, rather a pipe bent with a radius equal to at least 3 times the diameter of the actual pipework. Discharge should be through an appropriate siphon or vessel so as to allow checking for opening of the valve.

Overall dimensions (mm)

MAINTENANCE
To ensure perfect efficiency, the safety valves require periodic inspection. In a system where the safety valve remains idle, there is risk of foreign matter building up over time close to the disc; therefore the valve seat should be flushed periodically. Such flushing is obtained through a manual discharge of the valve by turning the knob in the direction indicated by the arrows. Almost all leaks (dripping, incomplete closing) are caused by impurities lodged between the seat and disc; hence periodic inspection and flushing prevent such leaks and related difficulties.

HEATING SYSTEMS
Safety valves to be used in heating systems, for which no experimental determination is carried out are defined as standard valves. In the calculation formula, the value of 0.9K, i.e. equal to 0.05 (R.2.A.2.3.4) should be assumed. In this way the regulations drastically reduce this application limits for standard safety valves in the heating field. Furthermore systems with capacity less than 35 kW (30,000 kcal/h) are not subject to the regulations covered by Italian D.M. 1.12.1975. W= where : 0,9xKxA 0,005xM

The safety valves are factory calibrated with a set pressure. The setting is given on the tag attached to the top of the manual discharge knob.

MAINTENANCE
To ensure perfect efficiency, the safety valves require periodic inspection. In a system where the safety valve remains idle, there is risk of foreign matter building up over time close to the disc; therefore the valve seat should be flushed periodically. Such flushing is obtained through a manual discharge of the valve by turning the knob in the direction indicated by the arrows. Almost all leaks (dripping, incomplete closing) are caused by impurities lodged between the seat and disc; hence periodic inspection and flushing prevent such leaks and related difficulties.

AUTOMATIC FILLING VALVES AUTOMATIC FILLING UNITS

RELIABILITY AND COMFORT


The Watts Cazzaniga ALIMAT automatic filling valve ensures prompt automatic make up of water losses from the heating system by highly accurate and reliable adjustment of the heating system pressure until reaching the required operating parameter.

EASY FILLING
The use of the Watts Cazzaniga ALIMAT filling valve allows fully automatic filling of water in the system with appreciable time saving.

PROTECTION
The Watts Cazzaniga ALIMAT automatic filling valve includes an inspectable check valve whose function is to prevent risk of back flows which could cause contamination of the water main with the water of the heating system. When an even higher level of safety is required, Watts Intermes offers filling and back flow preventer units for systems with capacities either higher or lower than 70 kW.

APPLICATION
A closed circuit heating system should be connected to the water main via a valve ensuring the following conditions: - a filling pressure suitable for system requirements; - protection against risk of back flow which could cause pollution of the water main; - stop of water filling upon reaching a preset pressure. Such conditions are guaranteed by the ALIMAT automatic filling valve which combines the following functions: - pressure control; - non-return; - checking for correct check valve operation; - shut-off ; - filtration; - check of heating system pressure via pressure gauge.

FLOW RATES

In order to avoid uncontrollable feeding of water in the system, which would prevent leak detection, it is recommended, once filling has finished, to close the shut-off valve. The pressure gauge will show any leaks which, whenever of continuous nature, should be promptly identified and eliminated.

CONTROL OF CHECK VALVE FOR PRESSURE TIGHTNESS


The ALIMAT automatic filling valve is able to control the pressure tightness of the check valve. For such purpose, after closing knob (8), slightly loosen (2 or 3 turns) vent screw (7): if there is faulty sealing of the check valve, there would be a continuous loss of water. After controlling, fully tighten the vent screw and again open the knob.

OPERATION
When the pressure exerted by the fluid inside the system drops below the pressure exerted by spring (3) on diaphragm (5), the spring pushes plug (4) down. The mains water flows via inlet (E) through filter cartridge (9), then rises into chamber (10), opens check valve (6) and thus flows towards the system (U). When filling of the system is complete, the pressure in it increases, and therefore in chamber (10). After exceeding the value balanced by the force exerted by the opposing spring the pressure pushes diaphragm (5) upwards while plug (4) closes. Check valve (6) prevents back flow. Hence the pressure settles according to the set pressure given by the spring.

MAINTENANCE
La manutenzione dellalimentatore automatico ALIMAT si limita alla pulizia periodica del filtro, in particolare dopo il primo riempimento dellimpianto. Per estrarre il filtro procedere come segue: 1. Close the gate valve upstream to ALIMAT (if there is no gate valve, shut off the supply pipe from the water main). 2. Unscrew the bottom nut and remove the knob assembly (8) where filter (9) is seated. 3. Flush the filter with water (do not use aggressive chemicals). 4. Grease the O-rings mounted on plug (4). 5. Refit the filter and spring in the seat in the bottom nut, then fully tighten the nut to the body. 6. Re-open the gate valve upstream to ALIMAT or the one before the system.

SETTING
The ALIMAT automatic filling valve is set by turning screw (2): - towards + (clockwise) = to increase the pressure; - towards - (counter-clockwise) = to decrease the pressure. Pressure of the system can be checked on the pressure gauge.

APPLICATION
Risk of pollution of drinking water pipes is a factor not be underestimated. There are regulations prescribing preventive measurements against contamination of drinking water: among these, UNI 9157 - "Three-way back flow preventers" lists the circuits and/or appliances whose direct connection to the public water main is recognized as possible source of pollution; hence the use of a back flow preventing unit is prescribed: - independent and central heating systems; - air conditioning and air treatment systems. In order to protect public drinking water mains, a filling and back flow preventing is a useful device for connection to the heating system. This unit combines both functions of protection and automatic feeding of the system.

FLOAT SWITCHES FLOW SWITCHES FOR LIQUIDS PRESSURE SWITCHES

DOLOMIT FLOAT SWITCHES


The DOLOMIT float switches find application in liquid level control in tanks and wells; they require connection to pumps (or other electrical equipment). They can be used with drinking water and sewage as well as other liquids compatible with the components of the products.

FLOW SWITCHES FOR LIQUIDS


Flow switches interrupt an electrical control circuit when the water circulation fails in the circuit for some abnormal condition (e.g. stopping of motor-driven pumps). They are operated thanks to a bladetype electrical tripping device (stainless steel blade).

PRESSURE SWITCHES
The PRM pressure switch is with normally closed contacts; when the pressure of the system exceeds the set pressure, the contacts are opened thus interrupting the circuit. The series PA pressure switch automatically controls operation of the motor-driven pump in accordance with the fixed set pressures.

APPLICATION
Float switch Series IGD finds application in liquid level control in tanks and wells; it requires connection to pumps (or other electrical equipment). The float switch can be used with drinking water and sewage as well as other liquids compatible with the components of the product. Float switch Series IGD is spray and dust proof thanks to a double sealing obtained by injection moulding using the same material of construction for the body (non toxic polypropylene). Product reliability is ensured thanks to the sound experience of WATTS Cazzaniga in the sector as well as to the stringent testing programme to which both the process and product are submitted.

PRESSURE REDUCING VALVES

MAIN FEATURES The pressure reducing valve is able, by varying its pressure drops, to hold the downstream pressure of the fluid at a constant level against changes in the upstream pressure and flow rate. The pressure reducing valve is used: - in water/plumbing systems: to hold a constant water pressure in the water supply main after the pressure reducing valve;

- in plumbing systems/sanitary appliances: to maintain the water pressure constantly below the max. permissible value; - in water/plumbing systems: to save water. By controlling the pressure to the taps, excessive withdrawal of water from the taps is avoided; - in compressed air systems: to keep the air pressure constant in the main, regardless of fluctuations in pressure supplied by the compressors; - after tanks or storage cylinders: to reduce and stabilize the pressure in the main, which is normally lower.

GENERAL
The WATTS Cazzaniga pressure reducing valves Series DRV, DRVN and DRVD are of balanced seat type. This means that the inlet pressure, when acting on the two openings A and B with the same section, is compensated. Therefore it does not exert any force on the pin-plug system when the degree of valve opening changes. Instead, the outlet pressure acts on the diaphragm and hence on the pin-plug system which, therefore, is subjected to two opposing forces, namely: the force exerted by the outlet pressure tending to close the plug, and the pressure exerted by the spring tending to open it. This results in the pressure reducing valve acting like a balanced seat type having the outlet pressure almost unaffected by variations in upstream pressure.

DRV
Diaphragm pressure reducing valve with single balanced seat. Ensures min. pressure drops with high flow rates. Downstream pressure set by means of the setting screw (4) and is locked with lock nut (3)

SETTING
The difference between the downstream pressure P2 measured with zero flow rate and the same pressure measured with a general flow rate Q represents the pressure drop DP across the pressure reducing valve. It depends on the flow rate as shown in the pressure drop diagrams. If it is required for the upstream pressure not to exceed a given value P2, this should be adjusted to value P2 when the flow rate is zero. At flow rate Q, the downstream pressure will be below the value P2 by an amount equal to pressure drops DP. When the pressure reducing valve is installed to ensure that the downstream pressure reaches a given value P2 at a certain flow rate Q, this pressure should be adjusted to value P2 + DP when the flow rate is zero. At flow rate Q the downstream pressure will be equal to P2.

SIZING
The valve selection criterion consists in determining the diameter so that the speed of the fluid does not reach excessive levels, at nominal flow rate, thus causing excessive pressure drops and noisy effluent which are transmitted to the supply main. The flow rate-speed diagrams provide a guide for selecting the valve diameter in the case of liquids (see water) or gases with pressures of 8 to 10 bar (see air).

EXAMPLES OF SIZING
Example 1 (cavitation) Pressure reducing valve with: Inlet pressure P1 = 14 bar Outlet pressure P2 = 3 bar From the cavitation diagram it can be seen that the pressure reducing valve works constantly in the red zone. To avoid rapid deterioration, two valves can be used, one connected upstream to the other. Upstream valve: pressure change from 14 to 6 bar (green zone) Downstream valve: pressure change from 6 to 3 bar (green zone). Example 2 (flow rate) Pressure reducing valve DRV/N with: Inlet pressure (min.) P1 = 8 bar Outlet pressure P2 = 4 bar Max. flow rate Q = 50 l/min From the flow rate-speed diagram it can be seen that a diameter of 20 or 25 can be used. The pressure drop diagram shows that in the two cases: DRV20/N Q = 50 l/min DP = 1.1 bar DRV25/N Q = 50 l/min DP = 0.68 bar

CAVITATION
The cavitation diagram shows three zones of valve operation in relation to the upstream and downstream pressures, namely: zone C: normal duty, no cavitation zone B: medium duty, possible cavitation zone A: heavy duty, the valve cavitates. Continuous operation in the red cavitation zone causes rapid deterioration of the internal parts. If the pressure reducing valve is to be used in the red zone, please contact the WATTS Cazzaniga Engineering Department.

SHUT-OFF
The 2-way fan-coil valves series 2131 serve for shutting off the flow of heat transfer fluid.

OPERATION
Operation of the fan-coil control valves Series 2131, 3131, 4131 is through the automatic movement of the plug which shut-offs the heat-transfer fluid: the ON/OFF action of the plug is controlled by a wax thermostatic element located inside the actuators Series 10C and 20C activated by a PTC thermistor against a signal sent by a room thermostat (or timing thermostat). The electrothermic actuator series 10C, in the 4-wire version, is provided with an auxiliary contact for additional controls (metering, control of pumps, fans or other equipment). The mechanical operation of the valves is of NO type. When coupled to the actuator, under rest conditions (actuator not energized), the valve can be: Normally closed (NC) (closed, straight way and by-pass open if 3-way) Normally open (NO) (open, straight way and by-pass closed if 3-way) The hydraulic flow rate and pressure drop characteristics of the valves are given in appropriate charts; when they are coupled with the ON/OFF actuators, they assume the characteristics associated with such device.

DIVERTING

MIXING

Thanks to the special configuration of the plug controlling the by-pass flow, the 3-way fan-coil valves series 3131 or 3 way with 4 ports series 4131, can be used equally as well as diverting or mixer valves (thus optimizing the various plumbing installation requirements). Apart from valves series 31311 (1) which are only used for diverting service.

The fan-coil control valves Series 3131, 4131, are designed and built to be used both for diverting and mixing service, provided the max. operating Dp given in the table be observed in order to avoid risk of faulty operation; except for valves Item 31311 (1) where the recommended application is solely that of diverting. The reliability of the fan-coil control valves Series 2131, 3131, 4131 is guaranteed by the 100% testing on the production, which check the hydraulic seals of the valve body and its external components and that of the plug in its flow shut-off function.

INSTALLATION
Choice of fan-coil control valves depends on the type of plumbing systems as well as the required flow rate and pressure drop characteristics. In systems with 2-way control valves it is advisable to provide by-pass valves Series 466 to ensure a minimum recirculation of the fluid. It is recommended not to install the valve with the actuator facing down. The valves can be connected by using the soft-seal tailpieces Series 840 with the range of single-piece or union fittings (3-piece).

HYDRAULIC BACKFLOW PREVENTERS

MAIN FEATURES
Backflow preventer with adjustable reduced pressure zone for protection of the drinking water supply main. High protection series (air-in/air-out patent) DIW909, size 3/4" to 10". Compact series DIW009 : size 1/2" to 3".

Why a backflow preventer is important for public health


The possibility of pollution of drinking water pipelines is a risk not to be overlooked. In fact, public opinion is very much aware of the problem, especially after the increased information and concern in the ecological field, which has led legislators to gradually adapt the Italian and international standards. In this connection considerable resources have been invested in technological research and manufacture of a range of equipment and accessories designed to prevent pollution of the water in the distribution systems. The Ministry of Health has issued regulations and acts providing local administrations and private individuals with preventive and control measures against pollution of drinking water. There are two conditions which can give rise to a similar contamination: - contact between non-drinkable water and drinking water - risk of return of pollutants to the drinking water supply. There are basically two cases where such problem arises: - BACK SIPHONAGE: when the pressure in the supply main is lower than the branch circuit; for example, owing to a break in the piping or interruption in the drinking water supply. - BACKFLOW: when in a non drinkable water circuit, for example a heating system, a pressure is supplied greater than the main supply system feeding it. To overcome these difficulties, it is necessary to install a pressure vacuum breaker tank or positive acting safety valve between the circuit which could cause one of these two problems and the supply system. The first solution is expensive and also takes up much space; the second solution is more cost-effective and involves minimum space requirements. Hence this safety valve, known as backflow preventer, finds useful application when installed at the inlet of the circuit, in all potentially risky supply pipes in order to prevent reverse in the direction of flow. The backflow preventer has three distinct zones, namely: an inlet zone (upstream zone), an intermediate zone (with reduced pressure) and an outlet zone (downstream zone). The backflow preventer has two independent check devices which separate the second zone from the other two, and a normallyopen drain device. Furthermore it is also able to control the differential pressure between the upstream and intermediate zones by activating the drain device when necessary. Thanks to all these characteristics the backflow preventer is not equivalent to a nonreturn valve as the latter is not able, even with double seat, to ensure automatic disconnection, therefore breaking the flow, but it only has a check function. There are application sectors which, at world level, are considered to be with high sanitary risk and in which, therefore the installation of adequate protection, such as a backflow preventer, is essential, namely: - independent or central heating systems - dry cleaning machines for dry cleaner shops - photographic treatments - animal breeding (automatic dosing of water and medicinal substances) - dental clinics (dental equipment) - hospitals protections for meters concerning: - hygiene and preventive treatment laboratories - official pathology departments - isolation wards - dialysis apparatus - sterilization autoclaves - etc. - centralized cleaning systems (high pressure) - public and private swimming pools - demineralized water systems - industrial washing machines - hotels, restaurants and motorway snack bars (preparation of food, mixing of basic syrups with high pressure carbonic acids, etc.) - air handling systems - cleaning systems for cars, aeroplanes, wagons, etc. - automatic irrigation or watering systems, liable to sanitary risk owing to effect of additive substances, fertilizers, pesticides, etc. - diesel engine cooling circuits or cogeneration systems, fire fighting systems with sprinklers or nozzles (UNI) - drinking water supply systems for boats, bottle washing systems - metallurgical industry: - cooling of tank containing chemicals - coating systems - pickling systems - heat exchangers - plastics industry: - machine cooling - industry in general: - water treatment systems - biochemical industries: - research laboratories - refineries: - fire-fighting systems - printing industries: - cylinder washing water - food industries: - all applications for drinking waters mixed with other substances - etc.

WATTS Patent an exclusive design: air-in/water-out


If the supply pressure becomes negative (i.e. less than the atmospheric pressure), it is not possible to maintain a reduced pressure zone. The only system for protecting the water supply system in this case consists in allow air to enter these zones and break the vacuum. The air entering the reduced pressure zone allows draining the contaminated water via the drain valve. The DIW909 Series are designed with two ports: one for the air inlet and the other for draining water. When this drain valve is opened, the opening of the air inlet port allows air to enter, therefore it is possible to drain the water. plug (8 water-out) and plug (7 air-in) B) During normal water flow: the thrust exerted by the water then opens the two check valves (1) and (2). FLOW STOP (STATIC PRESSURE) (FIG. 2) A) The two check valves are closed and isolate central reduced pressure zone (6). During normal operation the force exerted by the spring in upstream check valve (1) causes a pressure drop: this lowers the pressure in central zone (6) to below the pressure in the upstream zone. B) The force exerted on part (I) of diaphragm (3) is greater than the force exerted on part (II), therefore the drain valve remains closed. ACCIDENTAL CONDITION: OVERPRESSURE DOWNSTREAM SIDE (FIG. 3) A) When downstream check valve (2) has a perfect seal, there is no return of water, therefore no pollution is possible. B) If downstream valve (2) is without perfect seal, the contaminated water leaks into the central zone. Hence the pressure in this zone tends to increase and thrust against part (II) of diaphragm (3). As spring (5) acts in the same direction, it causes plugs (8 water-out) and (7: air-in) to close, while the pressure in the central zone is still lower than the pressure in the upstream zone. Therefore air can enter zone (6) via channel (4) this allowing quick draining of the water contained in zone (6). Hence the contaminated water collected in the central zone is discharged outside.

OPERATION
Backflow preventer DIW909 consists of an upstream check valve, a downstream check valve, a central chamber (called "reduced pressure zone") provided with a drain valve which opens in the case of accidental conditions. NORMAL OPERATION (FIG. 1) A) When operation starts, the water fills the upstream zone and exerts the pressure: - on the upstream check valve (1) which is held closed by the spring - on the diaphragm (3) part (I) thus compressing the spring and closing

Fig.3

ACCIDENTAL CONDITION: NEGATIVE PRESSURE UPSTREAM SIDE (FIG. 4)

A) If there is a drop in upstream pressure, the two check valves are closed immediately. The pressure exerted on part (I) of diaphragm (3) is insufficient to hold spring (5) compressed, therefore it opens plugs (8 water-out) and (7 air-in). The air enters central zone (6) thus facilitating immediate drainage of the water. B) If there is back siphonage, plugs (8) and (7) remain fully open already when the upstream pressure is still positive.

EXTRACT UNI 9157 INSTALLATION SITE


The choice of installation site for the equipment should be such that the entire backflow preventer assembly be outside any floodable zone always taking into consideration the highest level which could be reached by the water in the adjacent place in the event of frequent flooding. Preferably the backflow preventer should be installed outside the entire building work and above the ground. When the unit is placed between a system offers risks of pollution for the drinking water supply main, all supply systems feeding the water for plumbing or food applications should be arranged upstream of the backflow preventer while the downstream supply main should have distinctive signs and conventional safety colours in accordance with UNI 5634 P. The space around the backflow preventer should be sufficient to allow trouble-free installation or removal. It should allow easy access for repairs or tests for correct operation. Opening of the drain valve should be such as to allow evacuation by gravity of the water flows. Piezometric connections should not be located close to the resting surface while the operating devices should be placed on the front face side. The backflow preventer unit must be placed in an easily accessible, common part of the building. It must be ventilated and must not be floodable. The drain device must not cause toxic emissions in the room. The drained waters should not be harmful for the environment: opinion of the health authorities must be sought for those cases covered by current regulations. The leak recovery unit placed under the drain spout and operations for collecting the water to be drained should have a minimum size as according to the following: Size, backflow preventer Size drain system 15 20 25 32 40 50 65 80 40 60 60 80 80 80 80 100

Backflow preventer with regulated reduced pressure zone and high protection, complete with patented "air-in" "water-out" system U.S. Patent N 4.2.4.1.752. DESIGN FEATURES - Straightforward design, easy maintenance not requiring special tooling.

Operation
Backflow preventer 009 consists of an upstream check valve, a downstream check valve, a central chamber (called "reduced pressure zone") provided with a drain valve which opens in the case of accidental condition. A) When operation starts, the water fills the upstream zone and exerts the pressure: - on the upstream check valve (1) which is held closed by the spring Fig.1 - on the diaphragm (4) which closes drain valve (3) thus compressing spring (5) B) During normal flow the thrust exerted by the water opens the two check valves (1) and (2) in succession, and closes drain valve (3).

Fig.2

A) The two check valves are closed and isolate the central reduced pressure zone . During normal operation the force exerted by the spring in upstream check valve (1) causes a pressure drop: this lowers the pressure in the central zone to below the pressure in the upstream zone. B) The force exerted on the top part of diaphragm (4) is greater than the force exerted on the bottom part, therefore the drain valve remains closed.

A) Downstream check valve (2) closes, if it has a perfect seal, there is no return of water, therefore no pollution is possible. B) If downstream valve (2) is without perfect seal, the contaminated water leaks into the central zone. Hence the pressure in this zone tends to increase and thrust against the top part of diaphragm (4) thus causing the drain valve to open. Spring (5) acts in the opening direction of this valve which, therefore, starts to open when the pressure in the central zone is still lower than the pressure in the upstream zone. Hence the contaminated water collected in the central zone is discharged outside. If there is a drop in upstream pressure, the two check valves are closed immediately. The pressure exerted on the top part of diaphragm (4) is insufficient to hold spring (5) compressed, therefore it opens the drain valve.
