Modulating

The FlowMate Eco is a State of the Art Smart Control Valve, a multi-functioning system compromising of FlowMate’s  high efficiency valve body, robust & versatile actuator and a modular application control/display unit. The Eco boasts modular functions, meaning that they have bespoke functions that are specific for cooling and heating requirements. Functionality can be specified for applications such as Plate Heat Exchangers, Air Handling Units Chillers or Zone Control.

As the differential control component is independent and constantly regulates differential pressure, it gives the modulating control component 100% valve authority – no need to calculate valve authority or Kv. The EE actuator also benefits from full stroke modulation as the external flow setting mechanism is independent and has no effect on the stroke.

Smart Control Valve

Boasting never seen before functionality in one system, the FlowMate Eco is a total solution in one smart package. With it’s integral temperature & pressure sensor technology, it’s state of the art microprocessor as well as FlowMates’s highly efficient valve and actuator technology all working in unison, The FlowMate Eco offers unparalleled efficiency & control.

With precise data from the temperature & pressure sensors, the EE Actuator computes,monitors &  regulates ΔP & ΔT. The costly installation of numerous sensors, cabling, valves, piping and monitoring devices  can be now be all replaced with FlowMate’s Smart Valve, The Eco. Adding another level of efficiency, the EE Actuator also boasts Energy Metering; this function allows energy consumption to be calculated, monitored and logged; a truly resource saving advantage. Whether using the Control & Monitoring Unit or connected to a BMS, this allows the FlowMate Eco unrivaled  control.

Control & Monitoring via BMS

Taking control and monitoring further, the FlowMate EE actuator also allows networking with a Building Management System (BMS). Flow rate monitoring & switching as well as a fault alarm signal can be fed to a BMS. Once the FlowMate Eco is set up, the flow rate can be monitored and switched from wherever the BMS is stationed. In the unlikeyly event of a fault, a fault signal will inform the BMS of an issue.
