Multi-Functional PICV Valve – Great Energy Saving Potential
According to a recently completed market study by marketstudyreport the demand for PICVs is still expected to grow by 13% in the coming 4 years. This follows a period of strong growth in Europe and in the UK, which is amongst the most advanced markets in the world when it comes to PICV installation adoption. It is the energy saving potential that made PICVs the preferred choice of hydronic system designers and building owners. PICVs are credited to save up to 30% (1) of energy in a commercial or industrial building and enable a simplified system design, eliminating the need for commissioning and differential pressure control valves, which delivers further cost savings. PICVs can be applied to variable or constant flow systems (2) . The PICV will ensure a controlled flow passing through the system regardless of the fluctuating pressures under part load conditions. A typical PICV incorporates a differential pressure and a control valve...
