system regulation performed by the pilot valves.
The function of a PM valve depends solely on

The PM main valve is a pilot operated valve The maximum pressure, p2, that can be built

If the pressure difference is 0.2 bar (2.9 psi) or
more, the main valve will be fully open. Note:
At pressure differences (p2 - p3) between When main valve type PM 3 is used with an

The PM 3 main valve will be fully closed if the
pilot valve in P is fully closed and at least one of
the valves in SI or SII is fully closed at the same
time.
The relation between the pilot valves in ports SI,
SII and P is shown in the table above.
If the PM 3 is not fitted with three pilot valves, the Blanking plug Blanking plug A
unused port(s) must be sealed off with a blanking A+B
plug.
If the blanking plug is fitted as an assembled unit,
A + B, the channels from the port concerned will
be closed.
If only the top part, A, of the plug is fitted, the
channels from the ports in question will be open.
If the degree of opening of the PM main valve
is not to be a function of the main valve inlet
pressure, or if more than three regulating
functions are required, ports SI, SII or P can be
fitted with a nipple for the connection of external
pilot pressure. This applies to both PM 1 and PM
3.
Pressure p2 on top of the servo piston will then be
determined by the pressure to which the external
pilot line is connected. The main valve function
will be determined by the pilot valves fitted in
that external pilot line. Pilot valves installed in
external lines must be mounted in a type CVH
housing.
Depending on the function of the pilot valves,

the PM regulating characteristic becomes:
on/off
proportional
integral or
cascade.
PM main valves are therefore especially suitable

for all forms of temperature and pressure
regulating systems.

Correction factor for ∆P 0.3 bar f∆P = 0.82.
SI units Calculation example (R 134a capacities):
Correction factor for liquid temperature
Running conditions in a plant are as follows: fTliq = 0.82.
Te = –20°C
Q0 = 300 kW Qn = Qo × f∆P × fTliq = 300 × 0.82 × 0.82 = 202 kW.
Tliq = 10°C
Max. ∆P = 0.3 bar From the capacity table a PM 25 with Qn = 224 kW
is the correct selection for the application.
The capacity table is based on nominal
conditions (∆P = 0.2 bar, Tliq = 30°C).
The actual capacity must therefore be corrected

to a nominal condition by multiplication with
correction factors.
Correction factor for ∆P 5 psi, f∆P = 0.79

US units Calculation example (R 134a capacities):
Correction factor for liquid temperature
Running conditions in a plant are as follows: fTliq = 0.81.
Te = –20°F
Qo = 130 TR Qn = Qo × f∆P × fTliq = 130 × 0.79 × 0.81 = 83.2 TR
Tliq = 50°F
Max. ∆P = 5 psi From the capacity table a PM 32 with Qn = 91 TR is
the correct selection for the application.

Correction factor for ∆P 0.3 bar f∆P = 0.82

SI units Calculation example (R 717 capacities):
Correction factor for circulation rate frec = 0.75.
Running conditions in a plant are as follows:
Qn = Q0 × f∆p × frec = 180 × 0.82 × 0.75 = 111 kW
Te = –20°C
Q0 = 180 kW From the capacity table a PM 15 with Qn = 133 kW
circulation rate = 3 is the correct selection for the application.
Max. ∆P = 0.3 bar

conditions (pressure drop ∆P = 0.3 bar, circulation
rate = 4).

correction factors.
Correction factor for ∆P 5 psi f∆p = 0.79

US units Calculation example (R 717 capacities):
Qn = Q0 x f∆P x fcirc = 140 × 0.79 × 0.75 = 83 TR
Te = –20°F
Q0 = 130 TR From the capacity table a PM 25 with Qn = 114 TR
Circulation rate = 3 is the correct selection for the application.
Max. ∆P = 5 psi

Correction factor for ∆P 0.4 bar f∆P = 0.72.
Correction factor for liquid temperature fTliq = 0.92.
Running conditions in a plant are as follows: Correction factor for Tdisch 60°C, fdisch = 0.97.
Correction factor for Pdisch 12 bar, fpdisch = 1.0.
Te = –20 °C
Qo = 90 kW Qn = Qo × f∆P × fTliq × fTdisch × fPdisch
Tliq = 10 °C = 90 × 0.72 × 0.92 × 0.97 × 1.0 = 58 kW.
Max. ∆P = 0.4 bar
Tdisch = 60°C From the capacity table a PM 20 with Qn = 80 kW
The capacity table is based on nominel
conditions (∆P = 0.2 bar, Tliq = 30°C,
Pdisch= 12 bar, Tdisch = 80°C).

Correction factor for ∆P 7 psi f∆P = 0.67.

Correction factor for liquid temperature f Tliq = 0.92.
Running conditions in a plant are as follows: Correction factor for Tdisch 120°F, fdisch = 0.95.
Correction factor for Pdisch 185 psi, fpdisch = 1.0.
Te = 0°F
Qo = 18 TR Qn = Qo × f∆P × fTliq × fcirc × fPdisch
Tliq = 50 °F = 18 × 0.67 × 0.92 × 0.95 × 1.0 = 10.5 TR
Max. ∆P = 7 psi
