Autosar self-balancing thermostatic valves

Proper balancing is a key element of heating system design. Its purpose is to compensate for uneven flows resulting from the system’s geometry – such as differences in floor levels, distances from the heat source, complex pipe routing or local heat losses. Balancing ensures uniform thermal comfort throughout the building and optimises energy and domestic water consumption.

In the case of a radiator with a thermostatic head, the thermostatic valve is responsible for regulating the flow of the heating medium.

Autosar is a thermostatic, self-balancing radiator valve. It combines two functions:

A standard thermostatic valve.

Flow restrictor – maintains a constant differential pressure to achieve a constant (set) flow rate of the medium.

Autosar is available in straight and angled versions, in 3/8" and 1/2" sizes. The valves are manufactured at our factory in Abbeville, France.

Advantages of the Autosar self-balancing valve

Fitting the valve to the radiator – there is no need to apply additional sealing to the valve being fitted, as the connector is fitted with a double O-ring seal.

The setting is adjusted directly on the thermostatic valve, in accordance with the desired flow rate.

Dynamic balancing of the system is no longer necessary.

Valve certified to EN 215.

Applications of the Autosar self-balancing valve

Autosar valves are suitable for the following applications: central heating systems.

Maximum operating pressure: 10 bar.

Maximum operating temperature: 110°C.

Maximum differential pressure: 0.6 bar.

To prevent scale and corrosion, the composition of the hot water should comply with the VDI 2035 guidelines.
