Pressure Independent Control Valves: Smarter Hydronic Control with VANTEC

Accurate Flow. Dynamic Balancing. Smarter HVAC Control.

📌 Product Overview

Modern HVAC systems require more than simple flow regulation. Achieving stable indoor comfort, reducing energy consumption, and maintaining the correct design flow under changing system conditions all depend on accurate hydronic control.

VANTEC Pressure Independent Control Valves (PICV/BICV) are designed to combine flow regulation, differential pressure control, and control valve functionality within one integrated solution.

Unlike conventional control valves, a pressure independent valve maintains the required flow even when differential pressure within the HVAC system changes. This helps ensure that each terminal unit receives the correct design flow and allows the system to operate efficiently under both full-load and part-load conditions.

🧪 Independently Tested by BSRIA

Performance verification is an important part of reliable hydronic system design.

VANTEC Pressure Independent Control Valves in sizes DN15, DN20, DN25 and DN40 have undergone independent testing by BSRIA in accordance with BTS 1/2019 – Testing of Pressure Independent Control Valves.

This independent testing provides engineers, consultants and system designers with documented performance information for the selection and application of VANTEC PICVs in HVAC systems.
