Functional description
The volume flow controller is a mechanical self-powered unit and works without external power supply. A damper blade with low-friction bearings is adjusted by aerodynamic forces such that the set volume flow rate is maintained within the differential pressure range.
The aerodynamic forces of the airflow create a closing torque on the damper blade. The bellows extends and increases this force while at the same time acting as an oscillation damper. The closing force is countered by a leaf spring that unrolls over a cam plate. The shape of the cam plate is such that a change in the differential pressure leads to an adjustment of the damper blade in a way that the volume flow rate is maintained almost exactly.
Efficient commissioning
The volume flow rate setpoint value can be set quickly and easily using the pointer on the external scale; no measurements are required.
The advantage over flow adjustment dampers is that there is no need for repeat measurements or adjustments by an air conditioning engineer. Should the system pressure change, e.g. by opening or closing of duct sections, the flow rates in the entire system will also change if flow adjustment dampers are used; however, this is not the case with mechanical self-powered volume flow controllers A mechanical self-powered controller reacts immediately and adjusts the damper blade such that the set constant volume flow rate is maintained.
Volume flow rate ranges
The minimum differential pressure of CAV controllers is an important factor in designing the ductwork and in rating the fan including speed control.
Sufficient duct pressure must be ensured for all operating conditions and for all control units. The measurement points for fan speed control must be selected accordingly.
