Pressure Independent Control Valves

A pressure independent control valve (PICV) is a type of control valve used to regulate the flow of a liquid or gas in a system. This type of valve is designed to maintain a consistent pressure regardless of the pressure in the system. It works by using a combination of static and dynamic components. The static components are the inlet and outlet pressure chambers, while the dynamic components are the valve and actuator. The valve opens or closes to control the flow rate, while the actuator adjusts the valve’s position and overrides when necessary. The valve is adjustable to accommodate different system pressures, making it ideal for systems with high pressure fluctuations. The valve is also designed to be relatively maintenance-free and is often used in critical applications. These valves are highly efficient and reliable and can be used in various applications such as HVAC, plumbing, and water processing. PICVs are perfect for maintaining a steady flow rate and pressure in any system, making them an invaluable
