We offer energy control valves that reduce the flow while maintaining the design temperature differential, resulting in energy savings. But what are the main reasons that new buildings should be implementing energy valves in their construction?

This blog looks at glycol, a dihydric alcohol commonly used within HVAC applications. But what exactly is it, what functionality does it have a valve system, and how do you use it? We’ll explore all of this and determine the best methods of use along with why we opt for glycol in HVAC systems.

In general, there are two main categories of failsafe actuators. Mechanical and spring-loaded. This article looks at the disadvantages and advantages of failsafe styles, and how to pick the optimal actuator based on their failsafes.

You can now book our brand new CPD, for in-house or online learning, from our Continuous Professional Development page.

This tutorial shows how to install the FN.0.4 actuator, which is often used for PICVs installed on terminal units, fan coil units in particular. Watch in conjunction with the FlowCon Instructions and FloControl Supplementary Instructions.

Beyond the operational stage of a building there is a less recognised factor that contributes to the whole life carbon (WLC) of a building – embodied carbon. This article explores what precisely it is, and what FloControl are doing about it.
