Belimo 3-Way Characterized Valve Rp1/2 Kvs0.4 24VAC/DC 90s 0-10V 20Nm IP54 R3015-P4-S1/SR24A-SZ

This is a Belimo 3-way characterized ball valve with a nickel-plated brass housing and EPDM sealing. The bore diameter of the valve is DN 15 and the port size is Rp 1/2 inch with female threads. With its integrated characterizing disc, it ensures equal percentage flow control, enabling precise and consistent regulation of fluid flow. The maximum pressure differential is 3.5 bar (50.8 psi). The valve can operate between -10 and 120 °C (14 to 248 °F). The Kv value of the valve is 0.4 m3/h, equivalent to a Cv-value of 0.46 gpm. The actuator requires a supply voltage of 24 V AC/DC. The actuator utilizes a 0-10 V control type and provides position feedback, enabling precise control of its movements and accurate monitoring of its position within the specified voltage range. The actuator opens/closes the valve in 90 seconds. The actuator has an IP54 rating.

The actuator, equipped with overload protection, the actuator doesn't need limit switches and will stop automatically when the end stop is reached. Manual override is possible using a push-button, which disengages the gear train as long as the button is pressed or remains locked. The actuator can be directly mounted on the ball valve using a single screw. The mounting orientation relative to the ball valve can be chosen in 90° increments. The actuator can be controlled with a standard control signal of 0-10 V and moves to the position dictated by the control signal. Voltage measurement is employed both for visually displaying the valve position within the 0.5% to 100% range and as a control signal for other actuators. The rotation angle can be adjusted with mechanical end stops.

Pros:

• The integrated characterized disc ensures equal percentage flow, ideal for heating circuits
• This modulating actuator can position the valve anywhere between 0-90 degrees with a control signal of 0-10 V
• Manual override
• The actuator is overload protected
• Visual position indicator

Cons:

• The time to open/close of 90 s is slow for some applications
