Pressure independent control valves
An easier delta-T solution
Pressure independent control valves improve system performance and optimize delta-T through reliable valve control. Siemens pressure independent control valves integrate three functions into a single device and have the unique advantage of always maintaining their full stroke, regardless of the maximum adjustable flow setting. This significantly reduces or eliminates hunting for the right actuator setting, resulting in better control and increased comfort. On-site commissioning is simple thanks to the easy max flow pre-setting and automatic balancing. Every Siemens valve and actuator is factory tested with rigorous lifecycle testing for higher reliability. The HVAC Integrated Tool (HIT) filters and calculators help you properly size and select the right control valve for your application easily. Siemens pressure independent control valves have less components, less installation effort and fewer leak points which leads to no callbacks.

Why choose Siemens pressure independent control valves?
Siemens pressure independent control valves consist of two-way threaded valves ranging from ½- to 2-inches with maximum flow settings from 0.3 to 50 GPM and flanged valves with line sizes from 2½- to 6 inches with maximum flow settings from 19 to 860 GPM. The differential pressure operating range as low as 2.3 PSI to as high as 90 PSI. These valves control hot and chilled water with up to 50% glycol over a temperature range of 35° F to 250° F.
Use HIT, our HVAC Integrated Tool, to find the right control valves for your projects. It’s continually updated with the latest information pricing for accurate planning and budgeting.

Presetting Flange Valves: Using the tag and table
Flanged pressure independent control valve sizes 2.5"-6" are not preset. Refer to the tables shown below for the GPM corresponding to each presetting mark on the valve. This information is also found on the bib tag shipped with the control valve (see photo to the right). The tables below are also located in the Technical Instructions (data sheet) for pressure independent control valve two-way Cast Iron Flanged Bodies ANSI 125 and 250.

Pressure independent control valves smaller than 2.5” are preset in the factory.
The ½” to 2” threaded pressure independent control valves have a presetting scale that is in -GPM, making it easy to know how to adjust them in the field.
Reduce HVAC energy consumption with Siemens Pressure Independent Control Valves
Buildings that use hydronic heating and cooling can minimize HVAC energy consumption by over 30% by optimizing hydronic flow using pressure independent control valves. In our latest blog post, you can learn how Peachtree Center in Atlanta incorporated pressure independent control valves into their hydronic system to reduce energy usage that improved control of chilled water to the point of being able to eliminate the need for an extra pump and cooling tower.

A smaller footprint matters.
No matter how complicated your pipe network, Siemens pressure independent control valves are the right fit. No extra piping is required when installing any size of Siemens pressure independent control valves. No extra pipe means reduced material costs and fewer leak points.
An easier ΔT solution 3-in-1 control valve
The Siemens pressure independent control valve is a three-in-one device. The main difference with Siemens compared to other competitors is that the field adjustable flow limiter is independent of the valve stroke. So, by reducing the flow, the valve stroke is reduced. Since the Siemens pressure independent control valve is independent of the valve stroke, full controllability, regardless of the maximum flow setting of the pressure independent control valve is obtainable.
Higher reliability
Every Siemens valve and actuator is tested right from the factory line to assure longer performance. Siemens goes above and beyond with rigorous lifecycle testing of up to 100K full strokes and up to 1 million repositions for higher reliability.
A simplified pressure independent control valve portfolio
An easier delta-T solution
Siemens pressure independent control valves have the unique advantage of always maintaining their full stroke, regardless of the maximum adjustable flow setting, to provide better control. This significantly reduces or eliminates hunting for the right actuator setting, resulting in better control and increased comfort.
Independent control valves control accuracy for energy efficient comfort.
Independent Control Valves combine the function of a control valve, adjustable flow limiter and automatic pressure regulator into a single device. It prevents over- or under-supply of heating or cooling energy – improving efficiency and reducing energy costs. With Siemens pressure independent control valve experience the advantages of full stroke performance for better flow accuracy regardless of pressure fluctuation are unmatched by electronic solutions.
