Description
FOR LOW AIRFLOW VELOCITIES
Circular mechanical self-powered volume flow controllers for the control of supply air or extract air in constant air volume systems with low airflow velocities
- Suitable for airflow velocities from 160 Ft/Min
- Very simple commissioning
- Volume flow rate can be set using a rotary knob and a scale on the outside of the casing
- Simple retrofit of an actuator for variable volume flows
- Any installation orientation; maintenance-free
- Casing air leakage to EN 1751, class C
Optional equipment and accessories
- Circular silencer Type CA or CF for the reduction of air-regenerated noise
- Hot water heat exchanger Type WL and electric air heater Type EL for reheating the airflow
- Actuator for variable volume flows or manual regulation
Application
- Circular CAV controllers of Type VFC for the precise supply air or extract air flow control in constant air volume systems
- Mechanical self-powered volume flow control without external power supply
- For low airflow velocities
- Simplified project handling with orders based on nominal size
Special features
- Volume flow rate can be set using an external scale; no tools required
- Simple retrofit of an actuator is possible
- Correct operation even under unfavorable upstream or downstream conditions (1.5 D straight section required upstream)
- Any installation orientation
- Aerodynamic function testing of each unit on a special test rig prior to shipping

E01 Actuator 224-024-03-001 for min/max switching
- Min/Max switching between volume flow setpoint values of mechanical self-powered CAV controllers the types VFC and EN (only up to 300 mm)
- Min/Max change of the damper blade positions of flow adjustment dampers Type VFR
Parts and characteristics
- Supply voltage 24 V AC/DC
- 1-wire control or 2-wire control (3-point)
- Potentiometer for setting the volume flow rate setpoints
- Positive lock connection with damper blade shaft
- Functional test button: Motor drives first to minimum position, then to maximum position, then returns to the set position
- Indicator light: Actuator has reached setpoint, actuator in motion, actuator blocked
Commissioning
- Use the potentiometer to set the minimum or maximum volume flow rate or the damper blade position
