While BG29/2021 hasn’t impacted on the system design and flushing operations of FCU circuits, its predecessor BG29/20 has influenced the industry standard. By ensuring we keep the system as clean as possible through high velocity flushing operations, a contribution will be made to reduce the energy use of the installation and to lower the maintenance costs.

To make the life of installers, flushing specialists and commissioning teams a little easier when dealing with FlowCon PICVs, we have put together a quick guide how to install FlowCon PICV Valve inserts for an optimal performance, in the shortest possible time.

We’ve recently been asked to write about control valve authority – a challenge we happily take on! This post aims to clarify what authority is and why it is important for hydronic installations in building services.

Most hydronic systems these days are designed as variable flow systems, utilising pressure independent or electronic control valves. However, static and automatic balancing valves still have a role to play. Balancing Valve options and their applications.

With radiator PICV valves available from different manufacturers it can be challenging to select the best radiator PICV valve for an installation. So, what are the important valve features that drive flawless operation and maximise energy savings?

This article explores PICV characteristics that influence the accuracy of the PICV, which in turn determines the energy saving potential. Read the full article to understand the PICV features that generate the highest energy saving.
