More Than a Valve Supplier
Correct valve selection is critical to achieving the intended performance of a cooling system. DPV provides technical support from initial equipment selection through commissioning and ongoing operation.
Engineering & Product Selection
Design flow
Determines the required flow rate to ensure the valve can deliver the correct amount of cooling fluid through the system.
Pipe Size
Ensures the valve size is compatible with the piping system for proper installation and efficient flow performance.
Differential Pressure
Evaluates the pressure difference across the valve to ensure stable operation and proper flow control.
Valve Authority
Helps determine how effectively the valve can control flow within the system and maintain accurate regulation.
Cv Requirement
Calculates the valve flow capacity needed to achieve the required flow rate at the available pressure conditions.
Fluid and Glycol Concentration
Considers the type of fluid and glycol mixture, as these affect fluid viscosity, flow characteristics and valve performance.
Operating Temperature
Ensures the valve materials and components are suitable for the temperature range of the cooling system.
System Pressure
Confirms that the valve can safely withstand the operating pressure and pressure conditions within the system.
Required Operating Speed
Determines how quickly the valve needs to open, close or respond to meet the system’s operational requirements.
Control Philosophy
Defines how the valve should operate within the overall system, including manual, on/off or modulating control strategies.
