Replaceable control insert - without external adjustment-22-300kPa; 1370-4360l/h; red IVAR.PICC 11

Product detailed description

Replaceable control inserts are essential components in dynamic balancing systems used in commercial and residential buildings. These systems ensure consistent flow rates despite fluctuations in pressure, making them ideal for applications such as underfloor heating, radiators, and heat exchangers. Installers and system designers use these inserts to maintain system efficiency and prevent overloading of pumps and other components. The absence of external adjustment means the insert is pre-set to a specific flow rate, simplifying installation and reducing the risk of incorrect settings.

When integrating these inserts into a system, it is important to consider the overall hydraulic balance. The insert works in conjunction with the valve body to regulate flow based on the pre-selected setting. This makes it suitable for systems where flow stability is critical, such as in large commercial buildings or multi-zone heating systems. The insert is not intended for applications requiring frequent manual adjustments, as it is designed for fixed flow settings.

Technical parameters

Material	Brass CW602N
Operating temperature	-20 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 25
Code	590113
Brand	IVAR

The nominal pressure rating of PN 25 indicates that the insert is suitable for systems operating at up to 25 bar. The operating temperature range from -20°C to +120°C allows for use in both cold and hot water applications. The material composition—brass CW602N and plastic—ensures durability and resistance to corrosion. These parameters are crucial for selecting the correct insert for a given system, particularly in terms of pressure and temperature compatibility.Installation and connection The insert is installed within the valve body of a dynamic balancing valve. It is important to ensure that the valve body is compatible with the insert before installation. The connection is typically made using a push-fit or screw connection, depending on the valve design. During installation, the technician should verify that the insert is seated correctly and that there are no gaps or misalignments that could affect flow control. Common installation errors include incorrect orientation of the insert or failure to clean the valve body before insertion, which can lead to blockages or reduced efficiency.Compatibility and accessories This insert is specifically designed for use with IVAR.PICV 100 and 105 dynamic balancing valves. It is not compatible with other valve models or systems that require adjustable flow settings. No additional accessories are required for standard installation. However, it is recommended to have spare inserts on hand for maintenance or replacement purposes. Related products include the IVAR.PICC 11 control unit and the IVAR.PICV 100 and 105 valve bodies.Technical background for designers The operating principle of this insert is based on a fixed orifice design, which restricts flow to a predetermined rate. The brass CW602N material provides high strength and resistance to wear, while the plastic components ensure smooth flow and reduce friction. The insert integrates into the system by fitting into the valve body, where it works in conjunction with the valve's internal mechanism to maintain a stable flow rate. The service life and efficiency of the insert depend on the system's operating conditions, particularly the frequency of pressure fluctuations and the cleanliness of the fluid being transported.Service and operation The insert requires minimal maintenance due to its fixed design. However, periodic inspections are recommended to check for signs of wear or blockage. If the system experiences a drop in performance, the insert should be removed and inspected for debris or damage. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data, but it is advisable to replace the insert if it shows signs of corrosion or if the system's flow requirements change.Frequently asked questions

Can this insert be used with other valve models besides IVAR.PICV 100 and 105?
No, it is specifically designed for use with IVAR.PICV 100 and 105 dynamic balancing valves. Using it with other models may result in improper function or damage to the system.

Is it possible to adjust the flow rate after installation?
No, the insert is pre-set to a specific flow rate and does not allow for external adjustment. Any changes to the flow rate require the installation of a different insert.

What is the maximum operating temperature for this insert?
The insert is rated for operation up to +120°C, making it suitable for hot water applications such as heating systems and domestic hot water circuits.

Can this insert be used in systems with frequent pressure fluctuations?
Yes, the insert is designed to maintain a stable flow rate despite pressure variations, making it suitable for use in systems with fluctuating pressure conditions.
