  1. Automatic Balancing Valve Product Introduction Automatic Airflow Balancing

  2. Airflow Controlled by Physics, not electricity Contributing Inventors Aristotle Sir Isaac Newton Daniel Bernoulli Giovanni Venturi Concepts of continuum, flow and pressure Theory of air resistance and laws of motion Formula for calculating aerodynamic lift Relationship between pressure and flow

  3. HVAC “V” Ventilation accounts for 40 percent of the energy consumption in most buildings Every cubic foot of air taken out of a building has to be replaced by fresh outside air that has to be heated/cooled/dehumidified Ventilation costs approx. $10/CFM/YEAR Typical Example (very common): A hotel with 300 rooms averaging 70 CFM each when code only requires 35 CFM is wasting $105,000/yr. (cost to hotel for 300 ABR-6X6 units $12,600, ROI 43 days)

  4. Traditional Balancing vs. Auto-Balancing

  5. Stack Effect As heat rises in buildings during winter months the ventilation rates can more than double from “Stack Effect” The excess air forces the fans to freewheel Stale air from lower floors contaminates upper floors Result: Bad Air Quality & Wasted Energy

  6. ABV-4 & ABV-6 Automatic Balancing Valve Currently available in 4” and 6” nominal diameters for insertion into round duct Made of fire retardant UL94 V-0 listed ABS Every unit includes rubber gasket for tight air seal Every unit can be used for supply or exhaust Every unit has 11 set-points Every unit proudly made in the U.S.A.

  7. ABV-4 & ABV-6 ABV Auto Balance Valves Automatic Balancing Valve Connects to adapter plates by others utilizing the Quick Connect Adapter Ring • The adapter ring connects to either end of the valve for greater flexibility (supply, exhaust, before or after adapter plate)

  8. Set It & Forget It! ABV Auto Balance Valves Each unit comes with a side label that enables field selection of desired airflow from 11 positions

  9. Advanced Materials ABV Auto Balance Valves Every unit contains our anti-microbial agent that prevents organic growth Prevents mold, algae, and bacteria for better air quality Valves stay cleaner without organic growth that grabs onto dust and dirt Less maintenance & better performance

  10. Automatic Balancing vs Traditional Test & Balance
