Sauter Valve 1kvs
The Sauter Valve 1kvs delivers the precision that modern HVAC systems demand. Engineered for hydronic balancing in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning networks, this valve gives engineers and installers exact control over water flow—down to a nominal rate of 1m³/hour at a 1 bar pressure drop. Its role as a flow restrictor keeps individual rooms and zones from receiving excess hot or chilled water, protecting energy efficiency across the entire system. When paired with a motorised or thermal actuator, it enables stepless, near continuous temperature regulation, making it ideal for smaller, isolated circuits where even minor flow adjustments can have a significant impact on comfort. The result is a tightly balanced network where every zone gets exactly what it needs,no more, no less.
Summary:
- Acts as a restrictor in localised heating and cooling networks to ensure optimal energy distribution
- Restricts maximum flow rates to prevent specific rooms or zones from receiving an excess supply of hot or chilled water
- Allows for stepless or quasi continuous temperature control when paired with a motorised or thermal actuator
- Used in smaller isolated circuits where very small flow columns are needed to achieve comfort without wasting energy
- The Kvs rating is the metric coefficient of flow. A 1kvs rating means the valve allows a nominal water flow rate of 1m3/hour when there is a rpessure drop of 1 bar across the valve
Applications:
Used in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems for precise hydronic balancing and fine tuning water flow
