HYDRAULIC BALANCE OF WATER COOLING AIR CONDITIONER
<p>The Architectural Drawing Is of Hydraulic Balance of Water Cooling Air Conditioner. <strong>By changing the open space through which the water flows within the valve, the flow rate can be adjusted and set</strong>. The pressure across the seat of the PICV is held constant by the differential pressure controller. Whilst setting, the open area around the disk will change resulting in a change to the flow rate. Pressure independent control valves will often be abbreviated to the letters PICV. This is a type of valve found in <strong>Hydronic systems</strong>, meaning water based, which provide heating and cooling in buildings. <strong>The diaphragm reacts to the system and regulates the pressure differential across the actuated control valve orifice to maintain its flow rate</strong>. On a PICV (see graphic below), when pre-setting the maximum flow rate, the inlet orifice changes in size, which does not interfere with the length of the stroke.
