The device combinations for the Type42-
36E consist of the Type42-36 Pressure-in-
dependent Control Valve (PICV) and a
Type5827 or Type3374 Electric Actuator
(depending on the valve size).
The regulator closes when the ow rate or
the output signal of the electric controller in-
creases.
Version
Type42-36E: DN15 to 250, consisting of a
Type2426 Diaphragm Actuator and a
Type2423E Valve (balanced by a bellows
or diaphragm) with restriction to adjust the
ow rate set point. The regulator is installed
in the ow or return ow pipe.
The valves are tted with an adapter for con-
nection of an electric actuator. It serves to
apply the control signal (mostly a tempera-
ture signal) of an electric control device. The
electric actuator adjusts the restriction and
thus the ow set point.
