Manual (vertical) balancing valves - the key to efficient installations

Manual balancing valves are   basic elements of modern heating and cooling systems . Their role is crucial for the proper functioning of the installation. They ensure the optimal flow of the medium in the entire system. Thanks to them, we achieve an even distribution of temperature in the building. We also eliminate the problem of overheating or underheating of rooms.

In our daily practice, we see how important it is to select the right valves. Incorrectly selected ones can significantly reduce the efficiency of the system. That is why at Onninen we offer a wide selection of valves from renowned manufacturers. These are brands such as Danfoss, Imi Ta, Resideo Braukmann, Taconova or Zetkama.

Types of Manual Balancing Valves - Which One to Choose?

The range of balancing valves is very wide. It includes various types and designs. The most common are control and measuring valves. Manual balancing valves of the combi 3-plus type are also popular. For specialist applications, we recommend solar balancing and measuring valves.

The selection of the appropriate valve depends on many factors . The key parameters of the installation are pressure and temperature. The diameter of the pipeline and the type of working medium are also important. When selecting, we also take into account the specifics of the building and its purpose.

• Balancing Ball Valves - Ideal for Small Installations
• Receiver valves - precise regulation of individual radiators
• Balancing valves - the optimal solution for large facilities

We often come across questions about valve accessories. Our offer includes setting keys and knobs. Drainage stubs are also available, facilitating maintenance of the installation.

Selection criteria for manual balancing valves

Correct valve selection is key to efficient installation. At Onninen we help customers with this process.   Our experience shows that it is worth considering several key aspects :

1. Nominal flow and regulation range
2. Pressure drop across the valve
3. Adjustment accuracy and repeatability of settings
4. Resistance to contamination and cavitation
5. Possibility to measure flow and pressure

We recently worked on a project for a large office complex. We used Danfoss balancing valves there. This allowed for precise balancing of the installations in the entire building. The effect was a significant reduction in operating costs and improved comfort.

In the case of modernization of older buildings, we often use Imi TA valves. Their versatility and ease of installation are invaluable in such situations. They allow for quick and effective improvement of existing installations.

Manual balancing valves - a guarantee of comfort and savings

Correctly selected and installed balancing valves are an investment that quickly pays off . They provide not only comfort for users, but also measurable energy savings. In our practice, we see that they can reach up to 20% of annual heating costs.

Many customers ask us about the possibility of installing the valves themselves. However, we always recommend using the services of a professional installer. This guarantees correct setting and calibration. This in turn translates into optimal operation of the entire system.

Our experience shows that regular inspection and maintenance of valves is essential. They ensure long-term and trouble-free operation. At Onninen, we offer comprehensive support in this area. This includes both consulting and the supply of spare parts.

Onninen recommends the use of manual balancing valves in all modern installations. They are a guarantee of energy efficiency and comfort of use. We invite you to contact our specialists. They will help you choose the optimal solutions for each project.
