TA Hydronics, a provider of hydronic distribution systems and room temperature control, has launched TA-FUS1ON, a range of control valves that combine both control and balancing functions into a single unit.
Together with the corresponding actuator, these new solutions provide absolute control over hydronic systems, allowing designers and contractors to correctly size control valves every time, the company says.
Modern demands on HVAC systems are more complex than ever before and research suggests that well over 50 per cent of control valves within hydronic systems are wrongly sized due to the fixed Kvs values proposed by control valve manufacturers.
This leads to poor control performance and inefficiency within the system.
Oversizing valves increases investment and energy costs due to larger dimensions and risk of poor authority and control hunting, while undersizing increases pump heads and energy costs.
TA-FUS1ON is a new combined control and balancing valve that features a series of new innovations designed specifically to address the wants and needs of the industry, so as to achieve optimal authority and maintain perfect control and balancing in complex hydronic systems.
The TA-FUS1ON range embodies fully adjustable Kvs, allowing for precision sizing and optimal control performance for onsite flexibility and maximum energy efficiency.
This feature enables easier and more accurate dimensioning of the range – made possible by flexible Kvs – and eliminates the common problem of under- or oversizing.
The two-in-one valve design reduces investment cost and installation time.
It has outstanding measurement capabilities – for differential pressure, flow, temperature, power and available differential pressure – providing an unprecedented degree of hydronic diagnostic control over complex HVAC systems.
It is also designed to work seamlessly with TA-SCOPE and TA Select 4 to enable easy and precise balancing, system monitoring, power measurement and troubleshooting.
There is also a wide range of high performance proportional actuators to provide accurate modulating or three-point control.
