General information
Function Functional description
The volume flow controller is a mechanical self-
powered unit and works without external power
supply. A damper blade with low-friction bearings
is adjusted by aerodynamic forces such that the
set volume flow rate is maintained within the
differential pressure range.
The aerodynamic forces of the airflow create a
closing torque on the damper blade. The bellows
extends and increases this force while at the
2 same time acting as an oscillation damper. The
closing force is countered by a leaf spring that
unrolls over a cam plate. The shape of the cam
plate is such that a change in the differential
pressure leads to an adjustment of the damper
blade in a way that the volume flow rate is
maintained almost exactly.

Efficient commissioning
The volume flow rate setpoint value can be set
quickly and easily using the pointer on the
external scale; no measurements are required.
The advantage over flow adjustment dampers is
that there is no need for repeat measurements or
adjustments by an air conditioning engineer.
Should the system pressure change, e.g. by
opening or closing of duct sections, the flow rates
in the entire system will also change if flow
adjustment dampers are used; however, this is not
the case with mechanical self-powered volume
flow controllers. A mechanical self-powered
controller reacts immediately and adjusts the
damper blade such that the set constant volume
flow rate is maintained.

Basic information and nomenclature

The quick sizing tables Reducing the sound pressure level of the air-regenerated noise
show the sound pressure
levels that can be
expected in a room both
for the air-regenerated
noise and for the case-
radiated noise. The sound
pressure level in a room
results from the sound
power level of the
products – for a given

2 volume flow rate and

differential pressure – and
the attenuation and
insulation on site. This is
why generally accepted
attenuation and insulation
values have been taken
into account for the tables. ‫ݢ‬

The distribution of air ‫ݣ‬

Sizing with the help of This catalogue provides convenient quick sizing
this catalogue tables for CAV controllers.
The sound pressure levels for air-regenerated
noise and for case-radiated noise are provided for
all nominal sizes. In addition, generally accepted
attenuation and insulation values have been taken
into account.
Sizing data for other volume flow rates and
differential pressures can be determined quickly
and precisely using the Easy Product Finder
2 design programme.
