Economical, reliable and convenient

Double regulating & commissioning balancing valves (DRVs) allow the measurement of differential pressures, which can be used to calculate a flow. There are various balancing methods, but all involve measuring differential pressures and adjusting them to the correct value by calculating what flow that represents.

WE CAN HELP YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT Double Regulating/ Manual Balancing Valves (DRV) FOR YOUR PROJECT

Hydronic Balancing is the process of optimising the distribution of water in a building’s heating or cooling system or refrigeration system, so it provides the intended climate at optimum energy efficiency and minimal cost.
Complicated heating and cooling systems, particularly in larger buildings, require an accurate balancing technique. To obtain a plant with the correct design flows, consultants design systems to included balancing valves, differential pressure controllers or combined pressure independent balancing & control valves.

To meet these requirements, Masterflow has partnered with Oventrop, the global leader in the design and manufacture of balancing valves. Oventrop is a 179 year old company headquartered in Germany, and with thousands of projects overseas and throughout Australia. By utilising the Oventrop selection software and commissioning expertise, Masterflow offers the necessary assistance throughout the entire project journey. Project delivery is made easy through its large stock holdings in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

Case Study

Royal Australian College of Physicians

This charming heritage building nestled between more modern 1970s style structures and stands as a monument to Sydney early Macquarie era days. Originally used as a newspaper printing facility, it is now the home to RACP. This is where overseas medical professionals come to validate their overseas training and gain Australian recognition. In July 2016 an upgrade to their existing chilled water system was approved, and the work finished in July 2018.

Frequently asked Questions

Valve authority is…..

If we talk about a “normal” swimming pool application circa 2 PPM, you can use Hydrocontrol VFR. We don’t recommend to install the valve directly after the chlorine dosing machine, to make sure not having to high chlorine concentrations at the valve, which can also affect bronze. We don’t recommend the use of Hydrocontrol VFC, in these applications.
