D6..N/D6..NL butterfly valves - Economical and efficient control

Integrated solutions for medium or high volumetric flows
Belimo butterfly valves are available as classic D6..N wafer types or D6..NL lug types. When motorised with modulating actuators, they offer integrated and remarkably costefficient solutions for controlling medium-to-high volumetric flows. Their exceptionally low pressure losses assure optimum energy efficiency, while the premium product quality and intelligent actuator concepts guarantee longterm protection for investments.

Broad spectrum of applications
The D6..N/D6..NL range of butterfly valves comprises nominal widths from DN 25 to DN 350. In the opening range between 0 and 54º, they achieve an almost equal-percentage characteristic curve. Owing to the minimal pressure losses, significant energy savings are possible in applications like 2-way injection circuits, open cooling towers or hot and cold water distribution systems. These butterfly valves and actuators have demonstrated their unrivalled operational reliability in tests under extreme conditions. In practice, this means lower costs both for the purchase of Belimo's low-priced valve/actuator combinations and for their operation.

New actuator range
A new range of modulating actuators with torques from 18 to 500 Nm (up to 3500 Nm for retrofit business) is now available for motorising our D6..N/D6..NL butterfly valves. Their fast running times improve the quality of control. Special MF types allow each actuator to be optimised on site for its respective application. Alternatively, our MP types permit up to eight actuators to be grouped together in an MP-Bus® line and integrated in any popular fieldbus system. The wiring costs for bus integration are reduced by up to 90 percent as a result.

6-way valve with room temperature controller - Balanced climate control

Cost and energy economies
The new R3015-.. 6-way characterised control valve is specially designed for use in chilled and heated ceilings. The only one of its kind in the world, this incredibly compact valve unites the functionality of up to four straightthrough valves. Space, material and installation time are saved and the risk of wiring errors minimised. The new 6-way characterised control valve is equally convincing in operation: the two heating and cooling circuits are hydraulically decoupled thanks to the innovative ball design. They can nevertheless be controlled individually and precisely by means of a rotary movement. And because the valve is always air bubble-tight in the closed position, it also prevents energy losses and helps reduce operating costs.

Immaculate room climate
The new CRK24-B1 room temperature controller interacts optimally with the 6-way characterised control valve. With its integral pre-comfort and energy hold-off functions, it controls the chilled and heated ceiling according to demand. A dew point sensor can also be connected if required. The EHO function monitors the maximum (40°C) and minimum (15°C) room temperature limits, preventing serious damage to the building and the installations. Manual intervention or quick tests on the connected actuators are possible using the controls on the front. The aesthetic, functional design and simple, intuitive handling round off the harmonious overall picture.

UK24MOD gateway … how to fit MP to an RTU modbus

With the UK24MOD gateway, up to 8 MP-Bus-capable Belimo actuators can be integrated on an RTU (RS-485) modbus. The UK24MOD allows the actuators to be digitally controlled via the MP-Bus and send back their current operating status. The information on the controls and feedback is managed in UK24MOD and processed with modbus commands.

Sensor linking
One sensor can be connected per MP/MFT(2) actuator. This can be a passive resistance sensor (PT1000, NI1000 or NTC), an active sensor (output DC 0...10V), or a switching contact. This provides a straightforward way of digitising the analogue signal of the sensors with the Belimo actuator and transferring it via UK24MOD to the modbus.

Very simple commissioning
The modbus is parameterised with DIP switches (address, baud rate, bus termination, polarisation). The response delay can be optionally adjusted via a register entry.
The MP-Bus assignment is automatically established and continuously updated.

ZTH-GEN adjustment tool ... On-site parameterising and testing.

On-site adaptation of parameters
Belimo offers a broad selection of parameterisable actuators for air dampers, valves, VAV controllers and fire dampers. These MF, MP, MFT and MFT2 types are programmed at the factory with basic values for the most common applications. Typical parameters such as running time, angle-ofrotation and stroke limitation or mode settings (0...10 V / 2...10 V) can be adapted to each particular application with the ZTH-GEN plug-and-play adjustment tool. Mechanical and electrical contractors or service personnel are saved considerable time whenever a system needs to be commissioned or parts replaced.

Simple diagnostics and testing
The ZTH-GEN adjustment tool can be used simply to monitor the actuators or for direct control in order to simulate defined system scenarios. The unit integrates a whole series of powerful diagnostic functionalities: function test, position preset, test setpoint / actual value, test damper position and actual volumetric flow. The wide range of potential applications eases system maintenance and makes a valuable contribution to achieving maximum operational reliability.

CRA24-B3 room controller: Better room climate in airtight buildings

Save energy, protect the building substance and simultaneously increase the level of comfort in dwelling rooms - with Belimo's new CRA24-B3 room temperature controller, you can finally realise this ambitious goal. The pressure conditions - and hence the air quality - in energy efficient buildings with controlled, forced ventilation can vary considerably. The new CRA24-B3 room temperature controller is designed with special kitchen and bathroom inputs to overcome this problem. When you switch on the steam vent or the chimney exhaust, these inputs make sure any pressure differences are compensated by the ventilation. And thanks to the controlled bathroom override function, unpleasant odours and above all damp are reliably extracted, so that mould and fungi are effectively eliminated. If you are planning to be absent for a long period, you can switch off the system automatically by means of the energy hold-off function. This function causes the room to be ventilated for half an hour three times a day. As a result, energy consumption is reduced, air hygiene improved and the building substance protected. The CRA24-B3 can be used as a stand-alone solution or - definitely the most energy efficient alternative - combined with Belimo VAV controllers and the Fan Optimiser for demand based fan control.

CM actuators with supercap module: For extreme conditions

Integrated energy storage
Low outside temperatures, strong winds and inclement weather represent a daunting challenge for any air conditioning system. The situation becomes especially critical in case of a power failure. The new supercap module for CM compact actuators therefore has an integrated energy storage function. This function is instantly activated if the mains supply is interrupted, generating sufficient power to run two CM actuators to the closing point. The supply air dampers are closed, so that no unpleasant draughts are felt inside the room and no damage is caused to the equipment‘s heating and cooling elements.
