Volume Flow Rate Controller

Type RN, NW 80. . . 400

Trox volume flow rate controllers Type R are mechanical system

powered controllers for constant volume systems. The volume
flow rate controllers do not require an external power supply.
A free moving control blade is positioned by aerodynamic
forces so that a preset volume flow can be held constant over
the entire differential pressure range.

Order Details

Leaf spring

The aerodynamic closing forces on the control blade generate a

closing torque. An inflatable control bellows amplifies this force
and acts as an oscillation damper. A leaf spring acts against this
closing torque through a cam plate. The cam plate is calibrated
so that as the pressure difference changes, the angle of the
control blade is set so that the volume flow remains constant
within close tolerances.
The nominal volume flow can easily be set externally without
tools using the scale. For easier site installation, controllers can
be ordered and installed by size. The required volume flow is
then simply and accurately set during commissioning.
The RN controllers are also available with acoustic cladding to
reduce the case-radiated noise. The RS-A, RS-B, CA or CF/CS
attenuators can additionally be fitted, when low noise output
levels are required.

Application
Economical Commissioning

Simplified Installation

The required volume flow can be set using the external scale on
the RN controller by means of the settings on the arm without
site flow measurement. The advantage over conventional
dampers is that repeated measurements and adjustments by a
qualified commissioning engineer are no longer required.

The Trox lip seal is available as an optional fitting for sizes 80

to 400. A sealed joint is achieved without additional materials,
giving low installation costs. The cut edges of the adjacent
circular ductwork should be deburred and cleaned prior to
installation of the controller. Pre-treatment of the lip seal with
a suitable agent simplifies insertion onto the spigot.

If the system pressure changes, e. g. due to the opening or

closing of duct sections, the volume flows in the entire system
change; this is not the case when type RN/RNS volume flow
controllers are used.
The controllers respond immediately and adjust the damper
positions directly so that the set volume flow is held constant
over the entire differential pressure range.
The volume flow rate controller RN can be supplied with an
electric actuator for changing the set value.

It is recommended that the circular duct be fixed to the spigot by

means of 2 screws or 2 air-tight blind rivets, evenly spaced.

Acoustic Features
If required the circular attenuator CA or CF/CS with 50 mm
insulation thickness or a rectangular attenuator, type RS-A and
RS-B, can be used for sizes 100 to 315, to reduce discharge
noise levels.

L 1 approx. 49 dB(A) using logarithmic addition. Specification is not achieved, additional acoustic cladding on
the controller and customer fitted high density acoustic
insulation to the outside of the ducting, as in Fig 4, is
necessary. After repeating the calculation process with
L4 the result is: L 1 approx. 23 dB(A), the specification
requirements are achieved.

Correction values to assess the case-radiated noise of a system fitted with type RN controllers are dependent on a large number of variables, including supply or discharge air, duct type
(rabbet pipes/ducts or spiral seam pipes, flexible pipes), duct shape (round or rectangular), radiating duct length, sound-absorbing insulation and ceiling systems. The stated values have
been averaged for all sizes and apply for a max. room width of 6 m. Tolerances of up to 4 dB are possible.

Specification Text Controller Type R

Specification Text Attenuator Type RS

Circular volume flow rate controllers for constant volume

systems, mechanical system-powered (external power
supply not required) for supply or extract air, differential
pressure range 50 to 1000 Pa and DIN size circular ducts.
Control blade shaft mounted in bearings, control bellows also
provides pneumatic action oscillation damper, volume range
4:1. Good volume flow tolerance with external scale for
adjustment and changing the volume flow, independent of
gravity.

Attenuator type RS to reduce air-regenerated noise for

supply or extract air, casing with acoustic lining, suitable for
air velocities up to approx 20 m/s, circular spigot to fit RN
controller, rectangular connection suitable for attachment of
duct flanges, casing leakage meets class A, DIN EN 1751,
meets cleanliness requirements class 3, VDI 2083 and class
100 to US Standard 209 b with respect to particle limits.
Multi outlet spigots available, with volume control damper, for
circular duct connection.

Materials:
Casing made of galvanised sheet steel, plain bearings in
plastic. Polyurethane bellows.

Materials:
Casing in galvanised sheet steel, lining in attenuator mineral
wool, in inlet area with glass fibre facing, otherwise glass
fibre matting suitable for air velocities up to approx. 20 m/s,
non-flammable in accordance with DIN 4102, material
class A2.

Optionally available with:

Acoustic cladding RND consisting of 40 mm mineral wool
and external casing of 1 mm galvanised sheet steel, to
reduce case-radiated noise.
Actuator for RN/RND electric 24 VAC, 24 VDC or 230 VAC,
for set point change.
