Griswold Controls

PIC-V®, Space Saver PIC-V®

Sizes: 1/2" - 3"

Griswold Controls' PIC-V® is a Pressure Independent Control Valve. Pressure independent valves dramatically reduce the energy costs, capital expenses, maintenance costs, performance issues and capacity limitations associated with typical HVAC system pressure fluctuations. Pressure independent control valves are designed to replace the conventional 2 way control valve and balancing valve pair installed at heating and cooling coils in buildings. To obtain the most efficient and optimal results in a system, only the necessary amount, no more and no less, of chilled or heated water must be delivered to the heating and cooling coils at all times. This saves energy, increases available plant capacity, minimizes capital expenses necessary to acquire additional capacity, and simplifies system design and control. Every year billions of dollars are wasted due to the weaknesses in HVAC heating and cooling systems. If heating and cooling systems do not consistently operate at their designed temperature differential, energy waste occurs and money is needlessly thrown away. This unnecessary expense can be eliminated by using Griswold Controls' pressure independent valves.

Recommended Applications:

• Where balancing at reduced loads is needed, such as office buildings, schools or hotels
• When temperature variance cannot be risked, such as hospitals, laboratories or prisons
• Where longer actuator life is required
• Where the primary variable flow system needs to be optimized
