Note 2: FlowCon warranty is voided using other actuators than supplied or recommended by FlowCon International.
Note 3: To ensure that the valve is in an open position during commission of the system, the actuator will be delivered

in a normal open position and remain in this position until it is electrically operated first time.

Note 3: Add end connection length to body length.

Note 4: The Kvsvalue of 2.35 m3/h, which corresponds to the temperature control and valve housing, will provide an additional pressure drop.

This additional pressure drop will provide an offset of pressure range, which needs to be added into the control range for the Flow Control Cartridge.

This offset is depended off the flow rate for the selected cartridge. See the diagram and example on page 7.

general description
The standard actuators available for the FlowCon EVS valve are thermal actuators that operate ON/OFF on 24V
AC/DC, 120V AC and 230V AC/DC or modulating on 24V AC respectively. ON/OFF actuators are available with
end switches which can be used for controlling the fan in priority to the open position of the valve.
The EVS-insert with stainless steel cartridge will in connection with the FlowCon A, AB and ABV1 valve bodies
provide temperature control and dynamic balancing for use in cooling ceilings, fan coil units in air-condition or as
zone valve in heating systems.
