TRIPLE DUTY VALVES FUNCTIONS FUNCTIONS SIZING SIZING INSTALLATION INSTALLATION

FUNCTIONS 1. SHUTOFF VALVE 2. FLOW CONTROL 3. CHECK VALVE 4. FLOW METERING 5. STRAIGHT PATTERN VALVE CONVERTIBLE TO A RIGHT ANGLE VALVE

SIZING! DO NOT ASSUME THIS TO BE A LINE SIZE VALVE. DO INCLUDE A SCHEDULE FOR TDV’s, INCLUDE VALVE Cv & GPM 100% STEM RISE.

SIZING!

SIZING! AHSRAE 90.1 RECOMMENDS, IF THIS IS THE PRIMARY SYSTEM VALVE AND IS SET LOWER THAN 50% STEM RISE THAT THE IMPELLER BE TRIMMED TO THE NECESSARY DESIGN FLOW. THIS WILL REDUCE ELECTRICAL ENERGY CONSUMPION AND COMPLY WITH THE NATIONAL ENERGY BUILDING CODE STANDARD. AHSRAE 90.1 RECOMMENDS, IF THIS IS THE PRIMARY SYSTEM VALVE AND IS SET LOWER THAN 50% STEM RISE THAT THE IMPELLER BE TRIMMED TO THE NECESSARY DESIGN FLOW. THIS WILL REDUCE ELECTRICAL ENERGY CONSUMPION AND COMPLY WITH THE NATIONAL ENERGY BUILDING CODE STANDARD.

SIZING! MOST MANUFACTURES REQUIRE A MINIMUM STEM RISE OF 50% WITH A MINIMUM READING OF 3 FEET OF PRESSURE DROP AND MOST HAVE A MAXIMUM OF 25 FEET OF PRESSURE DROP. MOST MANUFACTURES REQUIRE A MINIMUM STEM RISE OF 50% WITH A MINIMUM READING OF 3 FEET OF PRESSURE DROP AND MOST HAVE A MAXIMUM OF 25 FEET OF PRESSURE DROP.

INSTALLATION DETAILS---DETAILS---DETAILS INCLUDE IN YOUR DETAIL SECTION A DETAIL THAT SHOWS THE TRIPLE DUTY VALVE INSTALLED AT A MINIMUM OF 5 PIPE DIAMETERS IN THE STAIGHT DOWN STREAM AND UPSTREAM OF THE VALVE. INCLUDE TEXT TO COMPLY WITH VALVE MANUFACTURES INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS.

DETAILS!

DETAILS!

DETAILS! GAUGE MANIFOLD

OPTIONS INSTALL A FLOW VENTURI OR CIRCUIT SETTER WITH A CHECK VALVE. VERY ACCURATE

OPTIONS WHEN USING VARIABLE PUMPING VIA TRANSDUCER AND VFD, DO NOT REQUIRE A TDV, ALL THAT IS NEEDED IS A CHECK VALVE AND ISOLATION VALVE.

DETAILS! SHOW PETE’S PLUGS AS THE FIRST DEVICE AT THE ENTERING AND LEAVING CONNECTIONS OF ANY HEAT EXCHANGER! IE COIL, CHILLER, HX, BOILER, etc. SHOW PETE’S PLUGS AS THE FIRST DEVICE AT THE ENTERING AND LEAVING CONNECTIONS OF ANY HEAT EXCHANGER! IE COIL, CHILLER, HX, BOILER, etc.

DETAILS! HAVE PETES PLUGS INSTALLED NEXT TO ALL TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE CONTROL SENSORS FOR CALIBRATION.

CIRCUIT SETTERS

SIZING! ALWAYS START BY SELECTING BOX SIZE TO PRODUCT 2000 FPM VELOCITY ±15% AT THE BOX INLET WHEN AT MAXIMUM COOLING CFM. ALWAYS START BY SELECTING BOX SIZE TO PRODUCT 2000 FPM VELOCITY ±15% AT THE BOX INLET WHEN AT MAXIMUM COOLING CFM.

SIZING! THIS WILL MAKE THE BOX MORE CONTROLABLE AT THE MINIMUM SET POINT AS MOST BOX GRAPHS AND CONTROLERS CANNOT CONTROL BELOW 0.03 IN. WC. PRESSURE DROP. IT WILL ALSO MAKE THE BOX MORE ACCURATE AT BOTH ENDS. THIS WILL MAKE THE BOX MORE CONTROLABLE AT THE MINIMUM SET POINT AS MOST BOX GRAPHS AND CONTROLERS CANNOT CONTROL BELOW 0.03 IN. WC.

SIZING!

SIZING! AN OVERSIZED BOX WILL CAUSE THE CONTROLER TO BE UNCALIBRATABLE AT THE MINIMUM CFM SET POINT AS WELL AS CAUSE FLOW HUNTING AND POOR HEAT TRANSFER. AN OVERSIZED BOX WILL CAUSE THE CONTROLER TO BE UNCALIBRATABLE AT THE MINIMUM CFM SET POINT AS WELL AS CAUSE FLOW HUNTING AND POOR HEAT TRANSFER.

SIZING! AN UNDERSIZED BOX WILL REQUIRE THE SUPPLY DUCT STATIC PRESSURE SET POINT TO BE RAISE TO A LEVEL THAT CONSUMES MORE ENERGY THAN NECESSARY. AN UNDERSIZED BOX WILL REQUIRE THE SUPPLY DUCT STATIC PRESSURE SET POINT TO BE RAISE TO A LEVEL THAT CONSUMES MORE ENERGY THAN NECESSARY.
