Belimo Electronic Pressure Independent Valves (EPIV)
Applications
Belimo’s pressure independent valve technology optimises the control of variable flow systems and helps maximise energy savings.
High Performance Solutions
Belimo pressure independent valve technology maximises energy savings of variable flow pumping systems while addressing unique control challenges. Belimo offers a series of pressure independent (PI) control valves; from the PIQCV, a super compact PI valve, ePIV an electronic PI valve offering true flow measurement to the Energy Valve that optimises, documents and proves water coil performance.
Energy Efficient Valves Providing Optimal Performance
With Belimo’s pressure independent control valve technology only a single valve is required to maintain proper flow through each circuit. Each valve arrives from the factory pre-set for each circuit and can be changed in the field, so there is no additional balancing required. The system performs perfectly from start-up. Pressure independent valves are used to regulate flow through air handlers, heating and cooling coils, fan coil units, unit ventilators and VAV re-heat coils.

- High Kvs ball valves with minimal pressure drop, which are ideal for isolation application where pumping costs are high
- NEMA 4 actuator options for harsh outdoor applications which assure long service life
Facility Managers
Higher energy prices combined with costly building inefficiencies are making your job more and more difficult to perform. While you should be looking for new and innovative ways to reduce energy consumption and improve facility performance, you’re simply too busy dealing with employees, troubleshooting technical issues, and trying to combat costly problems with more money. Belimo ball valves can provide:
- Excellent control stability maintaining occupant comfort level
- Better control to prevent “hunting” of the control loop, increasing life span of actuator and valve
- Models available with tight close-off up to 1400 kPa to ensure dependable operation
- Easy selection, installation, and service for improvement projects or retrofits
- Fast delivery and online technical support
ESCO
You are tasked with communicating to organisations how they can save energy and improve performance — but key opportunities are passing you by. Why? Most of your time is spent searching for new product innovations that are backed by proven and reliable energy savings data. Belimo ball valves offer:
