Tecofi balancing valves

A balancing valve lets you measure and set the flow and pressure of each branch so that a heating or cooling system (chillers, FCUs) delivers the design heat to every point. Tecofi lists RC2152 with a bronze body and BSP threads (DN15 to DN50, 25 bar), and RC4240, RC4241 and RC4251 with ductile iron bodies and flanges (PN16 or PN25, two steel pressure test points).

What does a balancing valve do in an HVAC system?

It gives each branch its design flow, so branches near the pump do not take too much while far ones starve; room temperatures even out and the pump works at its design point.

How is a balancing valve sized?

From the flow and the pressure drop wanted on the branch, not from the pipe diameter. Send the design flow and pipe DN and a CAD engineer will size the valve.

Frequently asked questions

Which balancing valve models does Tecofi offer?

Tecofi offers the RC2152 with a bronze body and BSP threads (DN15 to DN50, 25 bar), and the RC4240, RC4241 and RC4251 with ductile iron bodies and flanges (PN16 or PN25). Each valve has pressure test points for measuring and setting the flow of each branch.

What temperature and pressure can Tecofi balancing valves handle?

Per the datasheets, the RC2152 is rated 25 bar; the RC4240, RC4241 and RC4251 are rated PN16 or PN25 depending on the order code. Both series work at -10°C to +120°C, which suits heating or cooling systems such as chillers and fan coil units.

What are Tecofi balancing valves made of?

The RC2152 has a CC 491 K bronze body, with the disc and pressure test points in DZR brass. The RC4240, RC4241 and RC4251 have a GGG40 ductile iron body and bonnet, a ductile iron disc with EPDM and 2 steel pressure test points.

How do I get a quote for a genuine Tecofi balancing valve?

CAD supplies genuine Tecofi balancing valves and sends the datasheet, dimension table and CO/CQ. Send the design flow, pipe DN, pressure and connection type via the contact page; CAD engineers size the valve and quote within 24 working hours. Datasheets are sent with the quote.
