Description

The AB-QM valve equipped with an actuator is a control valve with full authority and an automatic balancing function / flow limitation. Typical applications are: Temperature control with permanent automatic balancing on terminal units (chillers, air-handling units, fan coils, induction units, radiation panels and heat exchangers).
