Belimo 1/2" B2 Series, 2-Way, Characterized Control Valve w/ LF24 Actuator, 1 Cv (Bronze)

*Comes with LF24 Actuator. In order to ensure good stability of control, it is essential for a control valve to have an equal percentage characteristic. This type of characteristic produces a linear variation in thermal output according to the amount of opening of the valve (also known as the system characteristic). Under normal testing conditions a conventional ball valve exhibits an S-shaped characteristic. When it is installed in a real system, however, this characteristic is seriously deformed because, compared with its nominal size, a ball valve possesses an extremely high flow coefficient. Whether used with or without pipe reducers or a reduced bore, they do not normally allow stable regulation of the thermal capacity. Belimo's unique Characterized Control Valve (CCV) is very different. A special characterizing disc inside the valve gives it an equal percentage characteristic which is comparable with that of a globe valve of the same nominal size. The flow (the Cv value) is reduced to the required va...
