Product features
Operating mode The HVAC performance device is comprised of four components: characterised control valve
(CCV), measuring pipe with volumetric flow sensor, temperature sensors and the actuator itself.
The adjusted maximum flow (V'max) is assigned to the maximum control signal DDC (typically
10 V / 100%). Alternatively, the control signal DDC can be assigned to the valve opening angle or
to the power required on the heat exchanger (see power control). The HVAC performance
device can be controlled via communicative or analogue signals. The fluid is detected by the
sensor in the measuring pipe and is applied as the flow value. The measured value is balanced
with the setpoint. The actuator corrects the deviation by changing the valve position. The angle
of rotation α varies according to the differential pressure through the control element (see flow
rate curves).
Power control Alternatively, the control signal DDC can be assigned to the output power required at the heat
exchanger.
Depending on the water temperature and air conditions, the Energy Valve ensures the amount
of water V' required to achieve the desired power.
Control characteristics The specially configured control parameters in connection with the precise velocity sensor
ensure a stable quality of control. They are, however, not suitable for rapid control processes,
i.e. for domestic water control.
Power control
Q'nom is the maximum possible power output on the heat exchanger.
Q'max is the maximum power output on the heat exchanger which has been set with the
highest control signal DDC. Q'max can be set between 1% and 100% of Q'nom.
Q'min 0% (non-variable).
Flow control
V'nom is the maximum possible flow.
V'max is the maximum flow rate which has been set with the highest control signal. V'max can
be set between 30% and 100% of V'nom.
Creep flow suppression Given the very low flow speed in the opening point, this can no longer be measured by the
sensor within the required tolerance. This range is overridden electronically.
Opening valve
The valve remains closed until the flow required by the control signal DDC corresponds to 1% of
V'nom. The control along the flow characteristic is active after this value has been exceeded.
Closing valve
The control along the flow characteristic is active up to the required flow rate of 1% of V'nom.
Once the level falls below this value, the flow rate is maintained at 1% of V'nom. If the level falls
below the flow rate of 0.5% of V'nom required by the control signal DDC, then the valve will
close.
Configurable actuators The factory settings cover the most common applications. Single parameters can be modified
with the Belimo service tools MFT-P or ZTH EU.
Communication The parametrisation can be carried out through the integrated web server (RJ45 connection to
the web browser) or by communicative means.
Additional information regarding the integrated web server can be found in the separate
documentation.

Control signal inversion This can be inverted in cases of control with an analogue control signal DDC. The inversion
causes the reversal of the standard behaviour, i.e. at a control signal DDC of 0%, regulation is to
V'max or Q'max, and the valve is closed at a control signal DDC of 100%.
Hydronic balancing Via the integrated web server, the maximum flow rate (equivalent to 100% requirement) can be
adjusted on the device itself, simply and reliably, in a few steps. If the device is integrated in the
management system, then the balancing can be handled directly by the management system.
Delta-T manager If a heating or cooling register is operated with a differential temperature that is too low and
thus with a flow rate that is too high, this will not result in an increased power output.
Nevertheless, heating or cooling machines must provide the energy at a lower degree of
efficiency. This means, that pumps circulate too much water and increase energy consumption
unnecessarily.
With the aid of the Energy Valve, it is simple to discover that operation is being carried out at a
differential temperature that is too low, resulting in the inefficient use of energy.
Necessary setting adjustments can now be carried out quickly and easily at any time. The
integrated differential temperature limiting offers the user the possibility of defining a low limit
value. The Energy Valve limits the flow rate automatically to prevent the level from falling below
this value.
The settings of the Delta-T manager can be made either directly on the web server or via the
Belimo Cloud a direct analysis of the Delta-T behavior is carried out by Belimo experts.
Combination analogue - communicative With conventional control by means of an analogue control signal DDC, the integrated web
(hybrid mode) server, BACnet, Modbus or MP-Bus can be used for the communicative position feedback.
Product features
Power and energy monitoring function The HVAC performance device is equipped with two temperature sensors. One sensor (T2) is
integrated in the measuring pipe, the second sensor (T1) is included with the system, prewired,
and must be installed in the water circuit on site. The sensors are used to record the fluid
temperature of the supply and return lines of the consumer (heating/cooling coil). As the water
quantity is also known, thanks to the flow measurement integrated in the system, the power
released from the consumer can be calculated. Furthermore, the heating/cooling energy is also
determined automatically by means of the evaluation of the power over time.
The current data, e.g. temperatures, volumetric flow volumes, exchanger energy consumption
etc. can be recorded and accessed at any time by means of web browsers or communication.
Data recording The recorded data (integrated data recording for 13 months) can be used for the optimisation
of the overall system and for the determination of the performance of the consumer (heating/
cooling coil).

Belimo Cloud Additional services are available if the Energy Valve is connected to the Belimo Cloud: for
instance, several devices may be managed via Internet. Also, Belimo experts may help analyse
the delta-T behaviour or provide written reports about the Energy Valve performance. Under
certain conditions, the product warranty according to the applicable Terms and Conditions of
Sale may be prolonged. The "Terms of Use for Belimo Cloud Services" in their currently valid
version apply to the use of Belimo Cloud services. Further details may be found under

Installation notes
Permissible installation orientation The ball valve can be installed upright to horizontal. The ball valve may not be installed in a
hanging position, i.e. with the spindle pointing downwards.
Water quality requirements The water quality requirements specified in VDI 2035 must be adhered to.
Belimo valves are regulating devices. For the valves to function correctly in the long term, they
must be kept free from particle debris (e.g. welding beads during installation work). The
installation of a suitable strainer is recommended.
Spindle heater In cold water applications and warm humid ambient air can cause condensation in the
actuators. This can lead to corrosion in the gear box of the actuator and causes a breakdown of
it. In such applications, the use of a spindle heater is recommended.
The spindle heater must be enabled only when the system is in operation, because it does not
have temperature control.
Installation notes
Flow direction The direction of flow, specified by an arrow on the housing, is to be complied with, since
otherwise the flow rate will be measured incorrectly.
Inlet section In order to achieve the specified measuring accuracy, a flow-calming section or inflow section in
the direction of the flow is to be provided upstream from the flow sensor. Its dimensions should
be at least 5x DN.
Mounting of immersion sleeve and The valve is equipped with two temperature sensors:
temperature sensor • T2: One sensor is already installed in the valve unit.
• T1: The second sensor must be mounted at the installation site ahead of the consumer (valve
in the return line; recommended) or after the consumer (valve in the supply line). The
immersion sleeve required is supplied with the valve unit.
Note
The cable between valve unit and temperature sensor may not be either shortened or
lengthened.
Split installation The valve-actuator combination may be mounted separately from the flow sensor. The direction
of flow of both components must be observed.
General notes
Minimum differential pressure (pressure The minimum required differential pressure (pressure drop through the valve) for achieving the
drop) desired volumetric flow V'max can be calculated with the aid of the theoretical kvs value (see
type overview) and the below-mentioned formula. The calculated value is dependent on the
required maximum volumetric flow V'max. Higher differential pressures are compensated for
automatically by the valve.
Formula
Example (DN 100 with the desired maximum flow rate = 50% V'nom)
Behaviour in case of sensor failure In case of a flow sensor error, the Energy Valve will switch from either power or flow control to
position control (Delta-T manger will be deactivated).
Once the error disappears, the Energy Valve will switch back to the normal control setting
(Delta-T manager activated)
