Key:
Δp
v
max = Maximum permissible differential pressure across the valve's control path,
valid for the entire actuating range of the motorized valve (maximum
recommended operating differential pressure).
Δp
s
= Maximum permissible differential pressure at which the motorized valve will
close securely against the pressure (close-off pressure).
S
NA
= Nominal apparent power for selecting the transformer.
Pmed = Average true power.
I
N
= Slow fuse (mandatory).
Cv = Nominal flow rate of cold water [41°F to 86°F (5°C to 30°C)].
L = Maximum cable length. With four-wire connections the maximum
permissible length of the separate 14 AWG Cu signal cable is 656 feet
(200 m).
Ordering
The valve body and magnetic actuator assemblies cannot be separated. The
assemblies can also be ordered with NPT flanges or weld flanges. To order with NPT
flanges, add an “-N” suffix to the part number. To order with Weld Flanges, add a “-W”
suffix to the part number. When placing an order, specify the quantity, product number
and description.
Examples: (without flanges) 1 MVF461H15-0.6 valve
(with NPT flanges) 1 MVF461H15-0.6-N valve with NPT flanges
(with weld flanges) 1 MVF461H15-0.6-W valve with weld flanges

Mechanical Design
Automatic Control
The electronics module converts the positioning signal to a phase-cut power signal,
which generates a magnetic field in the coil. This causes the armature to change its
position according to the interacting forces (magnetic field, counterspring, hydraulics,
etc.). The armature responds rapidly to any change in signal, transferring the
corresponding movement directly to the valve plug. This enables fast changes in load to
be corrected quickly and accurately.
The valve’s position is measured continuously. Any disturbance in the system is rapidly
corrected by the internal positioning controller, which ensures that the positioning signal
and the valve stroke are exactly proportional, and also delivers the position feedback
signal.
