ACVATIX™

2-port and 3-port control ball valves, PN 40, with externally

threaded connection

VAG61.., VBG61..

For use in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning plants as control or shutoff

valve. In closed circuits.

●Ball valve body made of brass CW602N (DZR)

●DN 15...50

●kvs 1...63 m3/h

●Flat sealing, externally threaded connections G..B, as per ISO 228-1

●Fitting sets ALG.. with threaded connection

●Rotational angle 90°

●Can be combined with electromotoric rotary actuators GQD..9A, GMA..9E with

Spring return and GSD161.9A, GDB..9E, GLD161.9E, GLB..9E without spring

return

●For applications with auxiliary functions (e.g. auxiliary switchs, potentiometers,

standard rotary actuatorsfrom the DAC product range can also be combined)

Features

●Moderately price:

Optimized flow rates mean smaller ball valves can be selected. Low torque means you

can combine them with small, less expensive rotary actuators.

●Long life expectancy:

Maintenance-free construction, also thanks to low friction stem and polished ball made of

chrome-plated DZR brass.

●Simple mounting:

The brackets, premounted on the actuators, means you can mount them on the ball

valves without tools.

--- Δpmax for VAG61.. and VBG61.., for details, see table on equipment combinations

Δpmax = Maximum permissible differential pressure over the ball valve, valid for the entire

positioning range of the ball valve rotary actuator unit; if low noise operation is desired, we

recommend a maximum permissible differential pressure of 200 kPa

Δpv100 = Differential pressure over the fully opened ball valve and over the control path at a volume

flow V100

100 = Volume flow through the fully opened ball valve

100 kPa = 1 bar ≈10 mWS

Cavitation

Cavitation increases wear and tear of the ball and seat and results in unwanted noise.

Cavitation can be prevented by not exceeding the differential pressures as per the flow

diagram and maintaining the static pressures depicted below.

J Water temperature

Example with hot water:

Pressure p1at ball valve inlet: 500 kPa (5 bar)

Water temperature: 120 °C

The above diagram clearly indicates that the maximum permissible differential pressure is

Δpmax →200 kPa (2 bar) at a nearly closed ball valve.

Note on chilled water applications

To prevent cavitation in chilled water circuits, sufficient counter pressure must be supplied to

the ball valve outlet, e.g. using an additional butterfly valve downstream of the ball valve.

Maximum permissible differential pressure over the ball valve: See 80 °C curve in the above

diagram.

Delivery

Ball valves, rotary actuators, and mounting kits are not assembled and are delivered in

individual packaging.

Applications with auxiliary functions

A standard actuator with corresponding functionality can be used if a ball valve application

requires a rotary actuator with auxiliary functions (e.g. auxiliary switch or potentiometer). In

this case, mounting kit ASK77.x is required in addition to the rotary actuator.

Follow the mounting instructions when mounting.

Notes

Safety

DANGER

There is a risk to operating personnel and device when working on the unit

Failure to comply with these safety notes can result in personal injury and damage to

property from pipe pressure, electrical voltage, or device in operation.

wNote the following when servicing a ball valve/rotary actuator:

●Switch off both pump and operating voltage.

●Close shutoff valves.

●Release pressure in the pipes and allow them to cool down completely.

●Disconnect electrical connections from the terminals as needed.

●The rotary actuator must be properly installed prior to recommissioning the ball valve.
