Sizing
When Δp and the design flow are known, use the following formulas to calculate the Kv-value.
Application example

TBV-CM
STAP
Setting
TBV-CM is delivered with a red protective cap, Article No
52 143-100, which must be used when isolating the valve.
TBV-CM is delivered with the pre-setting fully open. Pre-setting
of a valve for a given Kvmax value, e.g. corresponding to
position 5, is done as follows:
*)
1. Place the presetting tool, TA No 52 133-100, at the valve.
2. Turn the presetting tool so that position 5 is pointing at the
index* of the valve body.
3. Remove the adjustment tool. The valve is now pre-set.
There is a diagram for every valve size that shows the flow for
different pressure drops and settings.
Noise
In order to avoid noise in the installation the flows must be correctly balanced and the water de-aerated.
Excessive differential pressures can cause noise in the installations, and in that case, differential pressure controllers should be
used.
The maximum recommended pressure drop in order to avoid noise is 30 kPa = 0,3 bar.

TBV-CM is developed to work together with the TSE-M actuator. Actuators of other brands require a
working range of:
X = 11,50 - 15,80 (closed - fully open)
TA will not be held responsible for the control function if actuators other than TSE-M are used.
