TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Differential pressure control valve CIM 767

Description
Cim 767 are designed for automatic control of differential pressure (DPCV) in order to maintain constant differential pressure between two points of the installation. The flow rate of each branch of a circuit may change according to temperature requirements. Since flow rates depend on p, the main feature of Cim 767 is to maintain constant the nominal flow rate through open terminal units, regardless partial or full closing of them. Cim 767 is suitable for heating and cooling installations, assuring a good modulating control and reducing the noise risks coming from two-ways control valves, when high p values might be present in the installation. Cim 767 is normally coupled with a partner balancing valve placed on feed line, enabling the flow regulation. Cim 767 differential pressure control valve is made of CR Corrosion Resistant brass with female-female threads according to ISO 228 standard and it is suitable for working pressure up to 16 bar, within the working temperature range of -10C and +120C. They are manufactured in sizes from DN 15 up to DN 50 and work properly up to a maximum differential pressure of 400 KPa. The maximum flow rate is 15 m3/h. Picture 1

The main features of Cim 767 are as follows: Keeping of selected p at the ends of the circuit, by operating on screw of the handle of the valve with Allen key. Differential pressure control at the ends of the valve, using a p measuring instrument connected to binder points. Noise clearance when installation is in overpressure conditions. Reduction of balancing costs, improved energy saving and high environmental comfort. Easy flushing procedure thanks to quick and simple removal of differential pressure control cartridge, placed inside valve body. Reduced installation dimensions thanks to compact valve construction, which does not require inlet and outlet straight pipelines to stabilize the flow.

Installation
Before installation of Cim 767, check that inside the valve and the pipes there are no foreign matters which might damage the tightness of the valve. Burr pipe connections after having threaded them and distribute the sealing material on pipe threads only and not on valve threads. Make sure that required flow rate is within operating range of the valve. Cim 767 shall be installed on the return line either on horizontal or vertical position, but following the arrow direction casted on valve body, which shall be the same as the flow one. Cim 767 is coupled with partner valve Cim 787DP, installed on feed line by a copper capillary pipe. For assembly purpose, use a spanner, not a pipe Cim 787DP wrench, by applying necessary working torque only on the valve end nearest to the pipe. This helps get a firmer grip and avoids potential Cim 767 damages to valve body. Make sure that pipe threading length is not longer than valve threads.

After DPC cartridge removal, it is possible to flush the system branch where the valve is installed; when flushing process is over, reposition the DPC control cartridge. Picture 2

Valve regulation
p regulation of Cim 767 valve (see picture 3) is carried out by Allen key in 4 mm. The relation between flow rate, p of feed line and return line and screwing turns of regulating Allen screw are given by the tables stated on following pages (see Graphs and Tables). p increase and decrease is reached by turning clockwise or anticlockwise Allen screw respectively (see picture 3). During regulation of differential pressure, the valve shall be set to minimum value to proceed with turns numbering; after that, the valve shall be regulated according to tables. p of the system is measured through differential manometer Cim 726 with the two sensors, red and blue, which are inserted in binder points PF- and P+ respectively (see picture 4). Picture 3

Flow rate of the system is regulated through a partner balancing valve Cim 787DP, by measuring the difference in pressure between points PF+ and PF- and referring to the graphs of Cim 787 valve. Flow rate drop of Cim 767 valve under service is shown when the two sensors of measuring device are inserted in the binder points of the said valve.

Maintenance
As a rule, the balancing valve does not need any maintenance. In case of replacement or need of disassembling of some components of the valve, f.i. for flushing the cartridge of differential pressure, make sure that the installation is not under service or pressure.
