Volume Flow Controller

Product catalog summary
Innovation
The TROX type VFC Volume Flow Controller is designed for low velocity systems, allowing manual flow rate adjustment without special tools. It is suitable for both constant and variable volume flow systems and includes a lip seal, facilitating easy retrofit of actuators.
Functional Description
The VFC controllers are mechanical, system-powered devices that control flow rates in low velocity systems without external power, using aerodynamic forces to maintain a constant flow rate. They are available in three configurations: constant flow rate, variable flow rate with potentiometers, and variable flow rate with mechanical stops.
Construction and Dimensions
The VFC features a mechanical system-powered design suitable for supply or extract air, with a volume flow range of up to 10:1. It operates within a differential pressure range of 30 to 500 Pa and is maintenance-free. The casing is made of galvanized sheet steel, with a stainless steel leaf spring and polyurethane bellows.
Nomenclature
Key terms include flow rate (m3/h or l/s), sound power level (dB), and pressure differential (Pa). The document provides detailed nomenclature for understanding the acoustic and aerodynamic properties of the VFC.
Aerodynamic and Acoustic Quick Selection
Tables are included for quick selection of sound pressure levels and flow rates, considering factors like duct and room attenuation, and end reflection.
Air-regenerated and Case-radiated Noise
Noise levels are detailed for various configurations, with and without circular silencers. Procedures for calculating case-radiated noise are provided.
Flow Rate Adjustment
Flow rates are adjusted using a hand wheel or actuator, with settings for minimum and maximum flow rates. Characteristic curves for determining flow rate settings are included.
Technical Data and Wiring Examples
Technical specifications for actuators include supply voltage, power rating, and control signals. Wiring examples illustrate configurations for variable flow rate control.
Order Details
Details for ordering the VFC system are provided, including specifications for different configurations and accessories.
Specification Overview
Circular volume flow controllers are designed for constant or variable volume flow in low velocity systems. These controllers are mechanical and do not require an external power supply. They are suitable for both supply and extract air and come in six nominal sizes. The construction includes a casing with a control damper blade shaft, supported on bearings with a bellows, leaf spring, and adjustment mechanism.
Special Features
  • Suitable for constant or variable volume flow systems.
  • Flow rate adjustment can be done without special tools.
  • Orientation independent and maintenance-free.
  • Actuator retrofit is easily possible.
Compatibility
Spigots are compatible with ducts complying with DIN EN 1506 or DIN EN 13180, featuring a lip seal.
Performance Parameters
  • Differential pressure range: 30 to 500 Pa.
  • Flow rate range: maximum 10:1.
Types and Control Functions
  • VFC: Basic construction with manual setting.
  • E01: 24 V, min/max changeover with potentiometers.
  • E02: 230 VAC, min/max changeover with potentiometers.
  • E03: 24 V, variable volume flow with potentiometers, control signal 0 to 10 VDC.
  • M01: 24 V, min/max changeover with mechanical stops.
  • M02: 230 VAC, min/max changeover with mechanical stops.
Materials
The casing is made of galvanized sheet steel, while the control damper blade and other components are made of plastic, with polyurethane bellows.

Volume Flow Controller-3

TROX type VFC volume flow controllers are mechanicalsystem-powered controllers and were developed for the con- trol of flow rates in constant and variable volume systems with low velocities. The controllers are suited for both supply andextract air use. Each controller has been subjected to an aero-dynamic function test. The required flow rate can be easily set using a scale.There are 3 configurations of controllers: Constant flow rate Variable flow rate, with potentiometers Variable flow rate, with mechanical stopsThe controller operates without external power supply. A con-trol damper blade...
