Hydrocontrol STR

Double regulating and commissioning valves DN 25

for the hydronic balancing of solar collectors
Technical information

Function:
The Oventrop Hydrocontrol STR is a double regulating and
commissioning valve with integrated measuring orifice and
pressure test points with quick-coupling technique. It is installed
in the pipework of solar collectors and serves to achieve a hydronic
balance between the solar collectors. The valve does not feature
an isolation facility; therefore a pressure reduction during the
stagnation phase steam formation is possible via the safety valve.
Hydronic balancing is carried out by setting the double
regulating and commissioning valve during flow measurement at
the measuring orifice.
The balance can also be achieved by the presetting with memory
lock.
The required values of presetting can be obtained from the flow
charts. All intermediate values are infinitely adjustable.
The selected presetting can be read off two scales (basic scale
and fine adjustment scale, see illustration presetting). The Oventrop
double regulating and commissioning valves have two pressure
test points with quick-coupling technique for the measurement of
the pressure difference via the measuring orifice.
The double regulating and commissioning valves may be installed
in either the supply or return pipe.
When installing the valve, it must be ensured that the direction of
flow conforms to the direction of the arrow on the valve body and
that the valve is installed with a minimum length of L = 5 x of Hydrocontrol STR
straight pipe at the valve inlet and of L = 2 x at the valve outlet.

Presetting:
1. The calculated presetting values can be set at the double L
regulating and commissioning valves Hydrocontrol STR with
fluid temperatures of up to 150C.
To do so, remove the locking cap with the help of a screwdriver
and set the presetting value by turning the handwheel.

a. The display of the basic setting scale is shown by the
longitudinal scale together with the sliding indicator. Each
turn of the handwheel is represented by a line on the
longitudinal scale.
SW
b. The display of the fine setting is shown by the peripheral
scale on the handwheel and indicates 1/10th of a turn of
the handwheel.

Flow charts:
The flow charts are valid for use of the Hydrocontrol STR in the
supply and the return, provided the direction of flow conforms to
the arrow on the valve body and the fluid is in a liquid state.
