More warranty for you! VALVES AND ACTUATORS Acvatix hydronics. Everything under control. Fast and easy planning, installation and commissioning siemens.
The right solution for every hydronic project New: 5-year warranty on valves and actuators, damper actuators, and sensors.
Acvatix hydronics. Efficient all down the line Product selection and engineering made easy Tools from Siemens – such as the HIT Portal, the Acvatix slide ruler and the “Combi Valve Sizer” app – allow you to quickly find the right products. You can use the HIT Portal to design the entire HVAC application step by step while also accessing the specifications directly, complete with plant diagrams and lists of materials.
The right valve for every operating range Valves are used in all parts of HVAC systems. We help you to find exactly the right valves for your application and for the particular purpose intended. Intelligent Valves Makes it a snap! PICVs Hydronics made easy Globe valves Plan and install in record time Intelligent Valves are self-optimizing dynamic valves with cloud connection used in heating groups and air handling units. They optimize consumption, increase energy efficiency and reduce operating costs.
Do it right: Dynamic hydronic balancing Hydronic balancing means, the right amount of water at the right time in the right place. Sounds easy! But is it? There are several solutions, but one is definitely the right way to do it. Hydronic balancing with standard control valves To create a balanced hydronic system with standard control valves you must first determine design flow rates and calculate the pressure losses across the whole hydronic network.
