The new 6-way ball valve from SAUTER makes heating and cooling possible with a single regulating valve.
The valve provides a compact, precise alternative for controlling heated and chilled ceilings and fan coils in 4-pipe systems. It doubles as a regulating valve or change-over valve. The 6-way ball valve, with a nominal diameter of DN 15 or DN 20, consists of two mechanically connected ball valves. The bores of the two balls are set at right angles, ensuring that the heating and cooling systems remain separate and do not leak into each other.
Varying apertures enable the maximum flow rate (Kvs) to be adjusted precisely. It is possible to set different Kvs values on a valve for cooling and heating and flexibly adapt them to operating conditions. The result is more accurate and reliable control.
For more precise regulation, the 6-way ball valve from SAUTER can be combined with the SAUTER Valveco Compact pressure-independent multi-function valve. This is the ideal solution for hydraulic balancing and provides more certainty of planning, ease of installation and energy efficiency.
