Product catalog summary
Features of the BW Series
  • Direct acting proportional controller designed to maintain constant return temperatures.
  • Suitable for regulating large heating systems, tracing systems, and temperature control of individual heat exchangers.
  • Prevents short-circuiting and automatically balances large systems.
  • Straight-through valve with balanced valve sleeve; closing temperature set at the factory.
  • Valves with external setting devices are available upon request.
Application
  • BW 31 is used for hot water applications.
  • BW 31A is used for thermal oils.
  • Available sizes: DN 15–25 mm.
  • External setting device available for BW 31.
