What is a differential pressure control valve?
Differential Pressure Control Valves – also commonly called DPCVs – are installed in heating or cooling systems to control sub-circuit pressure to a set or given maximum.
How does a differential pressure controller work?
In short, Differential Pressure Switches work off the basis of a difference in pressure between two low and high points. The difference is converted to axial movement that is used to actuate the contacts of a micro switch depending on setpoints. Process pressure is sensed by a diaphragm-piston combination.
What do you mean by differential pressure?
The differential pressure is a measure of the height of a fluid in an apparatus, for example a settler, or the level in a reactor of a chemical plant. From: Industrial Chemistry Library, 2001.
What is a differential valve?
Home › Differential Control Valves. Our differential control valves are designed to accurately control the pressure difference between any two points. It is a pilot operated, modulating type valve which controls pressure accurately and consistently at the desired setting.
What is the purpose of a differential pressure switch?
Used for control purposes, a differential vacuum switch is designed to sense a difference in pressure between two pressure sources. When the vacuum pressure from two dissimilar sources in a process is connected to a sensing diaphragm, the pressure difference creates a significant force.
Where is the pressure differential switch located?
As a general rule, differential pressure switches should be mounted with diaphragm in a vertical plane. It is essential that set point be adjusted with diaphragm in the position in which it will be mounted.
What is the difference between PICV and 2-way valve?
PICV obtain optimal results because only the necessary amount of hot water (in GPM) and chilled water (in GPM) is delivered to the heating and cooling coils. Standard 2-way control valves allow for overflow and underflow especially if the CV is oversized or undersized.

What is differential pressure in pressure switch?
A differential pressure switch is a device which utilizes a differential air pressure to actuate an electric switch at a pre-set actuation point. This may be the difference between two positive or two negative pressures, one of each, or a positive and atmospheric or a negative and atmospheric pressure.
