Pressure independent control valve The optiflo valve combines an externally adjustable automatic balance valve and a full modulating control valve to provide full modulating control with 100% valve authority. Provides a desired flow (±5% of setting) regardless of fluctuations in system pressure. Available in sizes from 1/2" to 1-1/4" at flow rates from .3 gpm through 13.2 gpm; provides great flexibility if the system is changed after initial installation. No need to calculate valve authority, as the valve/actuator combination ensure 100% authority at all times. Bell & Gossett. |
