Replaceable control insert with external adjustment - 20-400kPa; 3178-16128l/h; black IVAR.PICC 22

Product detailed description

This replaceable control insert is specifically designed for use in dynamic balancing systems, where precise flow control is required. It is commonly used in residential and commercial buildings to ensure even distribution of heating or cooling media. The insert is integrated into the valve body to regulate flow rates dynamically, adapting to system changes without manual intervention. It is suitable for systems operating within a wide temperature range and is compatible with a variety of valve models.

Installers and technicians working on heating, ventilation, and plumbing systems will find this component essential for maintaining system efficiency. The insert is used in conjunction with dynamic balancing valves to ensure that each circuit in the system receives the correct flow rate, regardless of pressure fluctuations. This helps reduce energy consumption and improves overall system performance.

Technical parameters

Material	Brass CW602N
Operating temperature	-20 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 25
Code	590126
Brand	IVAR

The nominal pressure rating of PN 25 indicates that the insert is suitable for systems operating up to 25 bar. The operating temperature range of -20°C to +120°C makes it suitable for both heating and cooling applications. The material combination of CW602N brass and plastic ensures durability and resistance to corrosion, while the 41 flow settings allow for fine-tuning of the system. These parameters are essential for correct sizing and selection to ensure compatibility with the system's hydraulic and thermal requirements.Installation and connection The insert is installed inside the valve body and requires no additional tools for replacement. It is connected via a standard thread, and the correct torque must be applied to avoid leakage or damage. Installers should verify that the valve body is compatible with the insert before installation. Common mistakes include incorrect orientation of the insert or failure to clean the valve body before fitting. A thorough inspection of the sealing surfaces and the absence of debris is essential to ensure a leak-free connection.Compatibility and accessories This insert is compatible with a range of dynamic balancing valves, including IVAR.PICV 00, 05, 100, 105, 200, and 205 models. It is designed to work with the corresponding control units and valve bodies. When ordering, ensure that the correct valve model is selected to match the insert. No additional accessories are required for standard installation, but system-specific components such as actuators or sensors may be needed depending on the application.Technical background for designers The operating principle of the insert is based on a fixed orifice design, where the flow rate is adjusted by changing the cross-sectional area of the flow path. The CW602N brass provides high mechanical strength and thermal conductivity, while the plastic components offer low friction and resistance to chemical media. The insert integrates into the system by fitting into the valve body, where it works in conjunction with the actuator to modulate flow. The efficiency and service life of the insert depend on the quality of the installation, the cleanliness of the system, and the absence of abrasive particles in the media.Service and operation Regular inspection of the insert is recommended to ensure continued performance. Check for signs of wear, corrosion, or blockage in the flow path. If the system experiences reduced flow or pressure fluctuations, the insert should be removed and inspected. No specific service intervals are provided, but maintenance should be carried out as part of the overall system servicing. Ensure that the system is depressurised before removing the insert for inspection or replacement.Frequently asked questions
