2.2 Use
The valves are used as control or shutoff valves in heating, ventilation and air
conditioning plants for the production and distribution of heat or cooling energy, as
well as in district heating plants and in steam applications.
All 3-port valves can be used as mixing valves (preferred use) or diverting valves.
For use in closed or open hydraulic circuits, observe chapter "Cavitation", page 56.

Applications with steam Valves of the product lines VVF43.. and VVF53.. have to be operated with
inverted flow direction for steam. This results in combination with
electrohydraulic actuators of the product lines SKD.., SKB.. und SKC.. with
significantly higher closing pressures Δps and higher maximum differential
pressures Δpmax. In individual cases the kvs value is reduced and it has to be
assured from the system side, when the system is starting up that the maximum
differential pressure Δpmax is not exceeded so that the actuator can reliably open
the valve.

2.6 Product replacement
The valves covered by this document replace the valves of the VVF../VXF.. lines
that have been produced by Siemens, Landis & Staefa and Landis & Gyr since
1974.
For most types of valves operating in the field, a one-to-one replacement is

available.
This does not apply to a small number of special valves that were marketed in
certain regions. If there is a need to replace such valves, please contact your
Siemens branch office. In that case, it might be necessary to change the piping.
Further use of actuators of the SKD32../60/62/82.., SKB32../60/62/82..,

SQX31../61../81.., and SQX32../62../82.. lines is possible.
Actuators of the SKC32../62/82.. lines require a new stem coupling since the
diameter of the new stem is only 10 mm. Stem couplings must be ordered as
separate items (stock no. 4 178 5649 8).
If the valve to be replaced was driven by an actuator of the SKD31../61../81..,

SKB31../61../81.. or SKC31../61../81.. lines, Siemens recommends to replace the
actuator as well, the reason being the actuator’s age.
Stem coupling for The tables below list former valve types and their successors. There is also an
SKC32../62/82.. online replacement guide "Old2New" available; for access, go to
(stock no. 4 178 5649 8)
www.siemens.com/hit under "Old2New replacement guide".

Experience shows that the selected kvs value is usually too high. To the benefit of a higher valve
authority Siemens recommends to check sensibly whether a valve with a kvs value of approx. 85 % of
the calculated kvs value is possible. If this is not possible, the second rule applies.

Fluids Kinematic viscosity υ < 10 mm2/s
2.8.3 Impact of fluid properties on valve sizing
Valves are sized based on the volumetric flow passing through them. The most
important characteristic of a valve is its kvs value. Since this value is determined
with water at a temperature of 5…30 °C and a differential pressure Δp of 100 kPa
(1 bar), additional influencing factors must be taken into consideration if the
properties of the medium passing through the valve are different.
36 / 94

The following properties of a medium affect valve sizing:
 The density ρ and the specific heat capacity c have a direct impact on the
volumetric flow, which transfers the required amount of heat or cooling energy
 The kinematic viscosity ν influences the flow conditions (laminar or turbulent) in
the valve and thus the differential pressure Δp at a given volumetric flow V
2.8.3.1 Density ρ
The amount of heat Q carried by a fluid depends on the available mass flow m, the
specific heat capacity c, and the temperature spread ΔT:
 m
Q   c  T
In the HVAC field, calculations are usually based on the volumetric flow V, resulting
from the available mass flow m and the density ρ:
  V    c  T

Within the temperature range normally used in the HVAC field, the density ρ of
3
water is assumed to be about 1000 kg/m and the specific heat capacity c 4.19
kJ/(kg·K). This makes it possible to apply a simplified formula with a constant of
3 3

For watery solutions, such as mixtures of water and antifreeze, or other fluids like
heat transfer oils, refer to the chapters below.
2.8.3.2 Specific heat capacity c
The amount of heat Q carried by a fluid depends on the available mass flow m, the
specific heat capacity c, and the temperature spread ΔT.
Within the temperature range normally used in the HVAC field, the specific heat
capacity c of water changes only slightly. Therefore, the approximate value used
for the specific heat capacity c is 4.19 kJ/(kg·K). This makes it possible to apply a
simplified formula with a constant of 1.163 kWh/(m3·K) for calculating the
volumetric flow V in m 3/h:

Q
 
V
1.163  T
If watery solutions, such as mixtures of water and antifreeze, or other fluids like
heat transfer oils are used for the transmission of heat, the required volumetric flow
V is to be calculated with the density ρ and the specific heat capacity c at the
operating temperature:
Q
V 
  c  T
The specific heat capacity of fluids is specified in trade literature. For mixtures, the
specific heat capacity c is calculated on the basis of the mixture’s mass proportions
m1 and m2:
37 / 94

m1  c1  m2  c 2
c Gemisch 
m1  m2
In the case of heating applications, the specific heat capacity c1 or c2 at the highest
temperature must be used, and in the case of cooling applications that at the
lowest temperature.
2.8.3.3 Kinematic viscosity ν
The kinematic viscosity ν affects the type of flow (laminar or turbulent) and thus the
friction losses inside the valve. It has a direct impact on the differential pressure at
a given volumetric flow.
2
The kinematic viscosity ν is specified either in mm /s or centistokes (cSt):
1 cSt = 10-6 m2/s = 1 mm2/s
Water at a temperature of between 5 and 30 °C is used to determine the kvs value

as a comparison value. Within this temperature range, water has a kinematic
viscosity of 1.6 to 0.8 mm2/s. The flow inside the valve is turbulent.
When sizing valves for media with other kinematic viscosities ν, a correction must
2
be made. Up to a kinematic viscosity ν of less than 10 mm /s, the impact is
negligible since it is smaller than the permissible tolerance of the kvs value (+/-
10 %).
In general practice, the correction is made by applying a correction factor FR, which
gives consideration to the different flow and friction conditions when calculating the
kvs value.
FR is the factor used for the impact of the valve’s Reynolds number. It must be
applied when there is nonturbulent flow in the valve, when the differential pressure
is low, for example, in the case of high-viscosity fluids, very low flow coefficients, or
combinations of them. It can be determined by way of experiment.
FR = flow coefficient for nonturbulent flow conditions divided by the flow coefficient
ascertained under the same plant conditions for turbulent flow

water with antifreeze and water with antifreeze (www.siemens.com/hit).
Notes on heat transfer When sizing valves for use with heat transfer oils or brines, the medium properties
oils and brines specified by the suppliers must be taken into account:
 Specific heat capacity c
 Kinematic viscosity ν
 Specific density ρ
 During the heating up phase, the kinematic viscosity ν can reach a high level
while the volumetric flow V and thus the available amount of heat Q heating up phase
are much smaller than planned. This must be taken into account during the
planning phase and when sizing the valves, see "2.10.3 Example for heat
transfer oil", page 45.

2.8.5 Rangeability Sv, minimum controllable output Qmin
When sizing and selecting a valve, it must be ensured that – in the controlled
operating state – the output does not drop below the minimum controllable output
Qmin. Otherwise, the controlling element only regulates in on/off mode within the
range of the initial flow surge. On/off mode reduces the plant’s energy efficiency
and adversely affects the controlling element’s life.
The rangeability SV is an important characteristic used for assessing the

controllable range of a controlling element.
The smallest volumetric flow kvr that can be controlled is the volumetric flow
passing through the valve when it opens. Output Qmin is the smallest output of a
consumer (e.g. of a radiator) that can be controlled in modulating mode.

2.9 Sizing valves for steam
Since steam is compressible, valve sizing for steam must be based on other
criteria. The most important characteristic of compressible flow is that the speed of
flow in the throttling section can only increase up to the speed of sound. When this
limit is reached, the speed of flow and thus the volumetric flow, or the steam mass
flow, no longer increases, even if the differential pressure ∆p rises. To ensure good
controllability and favorably priced valve selection, it is advisable to have the
differential pressure in normal operation as close as possible to the critical
pressure ratio.
Before starting valve sizing, the plant-related process parameters and the
prevailing operating state must be defined:
 Absolute steam pressure [kPa abs], [bar abs]
 Temperature of saturated or superheated steam [°C]
 Differential pressure ∆pmax in normal operation
The dryness of saturated steam at the valve’s inlet must be > 0.98.
During plant startup or shutdown, supercritical pressure conditions can occur:

 In terms of potential damage to the valve, a subcritical pressure ratio is far less
crucial since the speed of flow lies below the speed of sound, material abrasion
is reduced, and the noise level is lower
Sizing procedure 1. Calculate the steam mass flow m based on the amount of energy required
Q100, the steam pressure, and the steam temperature.
2. Determine whether the pressure ratio is in the sub- or supercritical range.
3. Determine the kvs value based on the steam mass flow and the steam
pressure.

Note The level of absolute pressure p1 at the valve inlet must be at least such that the
absolute pressure p3 at the valve outlet is higher than the atmospheric pressure.
Notes on the When there is a pressure ratio (p1 – p3) / p1 >0.42, the flow passing through the
supercritical range narrowest section of the valve reaches the speed of sound. This can lead to higher
noise levels. A throttling system operating at a lower noise level (multistage
pressure reduction, damping throttle by the outlet) alleviates the problem.
Subcritical < 42 %  Steam-controlled heat transfer medium without condensation
 Shutoff valve on the steam side of condensation-controlled heat transfer media
Supercritical ≥ 42 %  Steam humidifier

 Steam-controlled heat transfer medium with condensation in the heat
exchanger
Recommendation for For saturated and superheated steam, the differential pressure pmax across the
differential pressure valve should be as close as possible to the critical pressure ratio.

2.12 Operating pressure and medium temperature
2.12.1 ISO 7005 and EN 1092 – a comparison
ISO 7005 and EN 1092 cover PN-classified, round flanges for pipes, valves, plain
fittings and accessories, plus their dimensions and tolerances, categorized
according to different types of materials.
Both standards also contain the assignment of pressures and medium
temperatures.
The connecting dimensions, flange and face types plus descriptions conform to the
relevant ISO 7005 standards.
 ISO 7005, part 1: Steel flanges

 ISO 7005, part 2: Cast iron flanges
 ISO 7005, part 3: Flanges made of copper alloys
Since the valves covered by this document are used throughout the world, the
international standard ISO 7005 was selected as a basis. The information given
below explains the differences between ISO 7005 and EN 1092.
EN 1092: Part 1, The international standard ISO 7005-1 on steel flanges was used as a basis for the
steel flanges development of EN 1092. EN 1092 deviates from ISO 7005 in the following ways:
 It solely covers flanges with PN designation
 A number of technical requirements of flanges originating from DIN standards
have been changed
The differences between EN 1092-1 and ISO 7005-1 are as follows:
 In many cases, the pressure-temperature assignments of this standard have
been reduced, either by limiting the assignments at lower temperatures – which
may no longer exceed the value of the PN class – or by increasing the rate at
which the admissible pressure drops on temperature rise
 In addition to the PN 2.5 – PN 40 range of flanges originating from DIN
standards, which is defined in ISO 7005, EN 1092 also contains flanges up to
PN 400
EN 1092: Part 2, In terms of flanges of the same PN class, this standard refers to ISO 7005-2 and
cast iron flanges ISO 2531. Flange types and connecting dimensions are compatible with the same
DN and PN class of ISO 7005 and ISO 2531.
 Pressure-temperature assignments: There are no differences between EN 1092-
2 and ISO 7005-2
EN 1092: Part 3, flanges In terms of flanges of the same PN class, this standard refers to ISO 7005-3.
made of copper alloys Flange types and connecting dimensions are compatible with the same DN and PN

To be able to make use of the permissible operating pressures and operating

temperatures according to EN 1092-1 as listed in the following tables/graphs, high-
quality steel is required when using steel flanges.
Otherwise, the permissible plant operating pressures must be reduced as specified
in EN 1092-1.

2.13 Cavitation
Due to high speeds of the medium in

the narrowest section of the valve, local
underpressure occurs (p2). If this
pressure drops below the medium’s
boiling pressure, cavitation occurs
(steam bubbles), possibly leading to
material removal (abrasion). Also, when
cavitation sets in, the noise level
increases abruptly. Cavitation can be
avoided by limiting the pressure
differential across the valve as a
function of the medium temperature and
the prepressure.
Progression of speed
Progression of pressure p
pmax = differential pressure with valve almost fully closed at

which cavitation can largely be avoided
p1 = static pressure at valve inlet
p3 = static pressure at valve outlet
M = pump
 = water temperature
Example for low- Pressure p1 at valve inlet: 500 kPa (5 bar)

temperature hot water Water temperature: 120 °C
From the chart above it can be seen that with the valve almost fully closed, the
maximum permissible differential pressure pmax is 200 kPa (2 bar).
56 / 94

Example for cold Spring water cooling as an example for avoiding cavitation:
water
Cold water = 12 °C
p1 = 500 kPa (5 bar)
p4 = 100 kPa (1 bar)
(atmospheric pressure)
pmax = 300 kPa (3 bar)
p3-3’ = 20 kPa (0.2 bar)
pD (throttle) = 80 kPa (0.8 bar)
p3’ = pressure downstream
from the consumer in
kPa
Note To avoid cavitation in the case of cold water circuits, it must also be made certain
that there is sufficient static counter-pressure at the valve’s outlet. This can be
ensured by installing a throttling valve downstream from the heat exchanger, for
example. In that case, the maximum pressure drop across the valve should be
selected according to the 80 °C curve in the flow chart above on page 56.
2.14 Medium quality and medium treatment
All relevant local directives must be observed whenever it comes to water quality,
corrosion or contamination.
2.14.1 Water
Note  Water treatment as per VDI 2035 to avoid boiler scale and damage due to
corrosion on the water side
 The requirements of DIN EN 12953-10 should be observed
 Local guidelines and directives should be observed
Planning Install a strainer (dirt trap).
Installation and  The company making the installation is responsible for the water quality in HVAC

 Before filling a hydraulic HVAC circuit with water, the installer must observe the
specifications of suppliers regarding water quality. If such specifications or
regulations are not observed, severe damage to the plant can occur
 When commissioning a plant, the company that made the installation is obliged
to write a commissioning report including information about water quality and
filling (plant volume) and, if necessary, about water treatment and the additives
used
Recommendation Keep a plant record.
Maintenance and The installer should check hydraulic HVAC circuits at least once a year.
service
Before adding water to a hydraulic HVAC circuit, the installer must observe the
specifications of suppliers regarding water quality (water treatment as per VDI
2035). If such specifications or regulations are not observed, severe damage to the
plant can occur.
When adding water at a later stage, the company that made the installation is
obliged to write a commissioning report including information about water quality
and the filling (plant volume) and, if necessary, about water treatment and the
additives used.
57 / 94

Recommendation To prevent boiler scale and damage resulting from corrosion, the water quality in
open or closed plants must be checked at regular intervals. The plant record must
always be kept up to date.
2.14.2 Water with antifreeze
Note For water with antifreeze, such as ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, the supplier-
specific values for the density ρ, the specific heat capacity c, and the kinematic
viscosity ν are to be determined by way of concentration and medium temperature.
These values must be observed when sizing valves to make certain that correct kvs
values are obtained.
2
In the case of antifreeze concentrations with a kinematic viscosity of < 10 mm /s,
correction factors for the sizing of valves are not required. Refer to chapter "2.8.3
Impact of fluid properties on valve sizing", page 36.
Planning  The type of antifreeze (product and dosage) added to the system must be
approved by the supplier for use in HVAC plants
 If several additives are used (e.g. antifreeze and hardness stabilizers), the
required combination must be approved by the same supplier
 Install a strainer (dirt trap)
Installation and  The company making the installation is responsible for the correct antifreeze
commissioning concentration and water quality in HVAC plants
 Before filling a hydraulic HVAC circuit with a medium, the installer must observe
the specifications of the supplier. If such specifications or regulations are not
observed, severe damage to the plant can occur

service According to supplier specifications, the antifreeze concentration, the pH value,
and the concentration of inhibitors must be checked once a year, for example.
Recommendation The antifreeze concentration and water quality in open or closed HVAC plants must
be checked at regular intervals. The plant record must always be kept up to date.

2.14.4 Heat transfer oil (thermal oil)
Note Heat transfer oil has an impact on valve selection (material of O-rings and
gaskets). Compatibility must be checked.
When planning and commissioning a plant or when sizing valves, the suppliers’
specifications must be observed. To make certain the right type of heat transfer oil
is used, one should rely on the suppliers’ experience and know-how.
When using heat transfer oil (thermal oil), the following supplier-specific values
must be taken into consideration:
 Correction factor FR, if the supplier-specific kinematic viscosity ν exceeds
2
10 mm /s
 Density ρ
 Room and operating temperature
 During the heating up phase, the kinematic viscosity ν is very high. The
volumetric flow is much smaller than planned and thus the available amount of
energy Qheating up phase as well. This must be taken into account during the
planning phase and when sizing the valve
Refer to chapter "2.8.3 Impact of fluid properties on valve sizing", page 36.

2.15 Engineering notes
2.15.1 Strainer (dirt trap)
Open and closed HVAC plants require a strainer (dirt trap). This improves the
quality of the water, ensures proper functioning of the valve, and a long service life
of the HVAC plant with its components.
2.15.2 Avoiding flow noise
To reduce flow noise, abrupt

reductions in pipe diameters, tight
pipe bends, sharp edges or
reductions in the vicinity of valves
should be avoided. A settling path
should be provided.
Recommendation:
 L ≥ 10 x DN, at least 0,4 m
Also, the flow must be free from
cavitation (refer to page 54).
2.15.3 Avoiding false circulation
When 3-port valves in HVAC plants are fully closed, false circulation can occur
when hot water rises or when water is pulled away near rectangular pipe
connections.
Note False circulation can be avoided by proper planning – with almost no extra cost –
but remedy is usually very costly in existing plants.
Measures against  Observe guide value for the water speed: 0.5…1 m/s.
false circulation The lower the water speed, the smaller the risk that the diverted flow pulls water
from the critical piping section. If required, balancing valves can be installed to
improve flow conditions
 Observe a certain distance between bypass and collector/header or short-circuit:
H ≥ 10 x pipe dia., minimum 400 mm
or
 Installation of a check valve or gravity brake R with small spring pressure in the
critical piping section, aimed at ensuring a minimum flow in the opening range
61 / 94

 Welded elbows.
2.15.4 Thermal insulation
Insulated pipes and valves save

energy.
Actuators must never be insulated.

This is to make certain that heat
produced by the actuator can be
dissipated, thus preventing
overheating.
Recommendation:

When using materials with a heat conductance other than 0.035 W/(m·K), the
minimum thickness of the insulating layers must be appropriately adapted. For the
conversion and heat conductance of insulating material, the calculation methods
and data applied by established technical rules must be used.
2.16 Warranty
The engineering data listed in chapter "Type summary and equipment

combinations" on page 14 are ensured only when the valves are used in
connection with the specified Siemens actuators.
Note If the valves are used in combination with actuators supplied by thirds, proper
functioning must be ensured by the user himself and Siemens Building
Technologies will assume no liability.

3.1.3 Flanges
To ensure that flanges are correctly connected, the nominal, maximum and
minimum tightening torques must be observed. They depend on the strength and
size of the bolts and nuts, the material of the flanges, the PN class, the flange
gaskets used and the medium in the hydraulic system.
The tightening torques also depend on the specification of the gasket supplier and
must be observed, using a torque wrench.
To determine the right tightening torques, refer to the suppliers’ specifications.

According to EN 1515-1, the selection of materials for bolts and nuts is also
dependent on the PN class, the temperatures, and other operating conditions, such
as the type of medium.
65 / 94

Recommendation Use a torque wrench.
Procedure 1. Clean the flanges.

2. Place the gaskets between the flanges.
3. Fit the bolts, washers and nuts and tighten
them by hand.
4. Tighten the bolts crosswise in 3 steps as
shown below (M = tightening torque):
 Step 1: 25 % M
 Step 2: 50 % M
 Step 3: 100 % M
1 to 8 = order for tightening the bolts

M = tightening torque
Notes: • Too low or too high tightening torques can cause leakage at the
flange connections or even lead to broken flanges
• Observe the following table "Guide values for tightening torques",
page 66

4 Functions and control
4.1 Selection of acting direction and valve
characteristic
The valve’s characteristic and acting direction (push to open, pull to open, normally
open, normally closed) have an impact on the acting direction and valve
characteristic selected with the actuator’s DIL switches as well as on the required
function in the event of a power failure (actuator with or without spring return
function).
The objective is the following: As the positioning signal Y increases, the volumetric
flow V through the valve shall rise or, in the event of a power failure, the valve shall
fully open, V = 100 % (NO = normally open), or fully close, V = 0 % (NC = normally
closed), depending on plant requirements.

8.1.3 Valve-related glossary
DIN EN 14597 Standard on temperature controls and temperature limiters for use in heat
generating plants. This standard also covers actuating equipment (actuating
devices) with safety function for temperature and pressure limitation as per
DIN EN 14597
HIT The HVAC Integrated Tool (HIT) supports sizing and selection of valves for water
with antifreeze (www.siemens.com/hit)
Actuating device Combination of valve and actuator
Rangeability SV Characteristic of an actuating device, used to assess the device’s controllable
range; ratio of the nominal flow rate kvs to the smallest controllable flow kvr
Valve authority Pv Ratio of the differential pressure across the fully open valve (H100) to the differential
pressure across the valve plus that of the pipe section with variable volume. To
ensure correct control, the valve authority must be a minimum of 0.25
Specific heat capacity The specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to heat the mass of 1 kg
of a substance by 1 K.
It increases as the temperature of the substance rises; in the case of gases, also
as the pressure of the substance rises. Therefore, with gases, a distinction is made
between cP, the specific heat at a constant pressure, and cV, the specific heat at a
constant volume

8.1.4 Hydraulics-related glossary
Film temperature Temperature of the valve surfaces that are in contact with the heat transfer oil at
which the oil starts to disintegrate
Cavitation Due to high speeds of the medium in the narrowest section of the valve, local
underpressure occurs. If this pressure drops below the medium’s boiling pressure,
cavitation occurs (steam bubbles), possibly leading to material removal (abrasion).
Also, when cavitation starts, the noise level increases abruptly. Cavitation can be
avoided by limiting the pressure differential across the valve as a function of the
medium temperature and the prepressure. For more detailed information, refer to
"2.13 Cavitation", page 56
Selection of valve Certain types of Siemens actuators are equipped with DIL switches for the
characteristic selection of a linear or an equal-percentage valve characteristic. The objective is to
linearize the volumetric flow through the consumer and the valve
Closed circuit The medium circulates in a closed hydraulic system with no contact to the
atmosphere
Open circuit The circulating medium is in contact with the atmosphere, that is, the hydraulic
system is open to atmosphere (e.g. cooling towers with open tanks, or showers).
Hence, the system can absorb oxygen from the surrounding air, which can lead to
rust; in addition, more attention is to be paid to cavitation; for more information,
refer to "2.13 Cavitation", page 56
Control stability The stability of a closed control loop depends on the degree of difficulty S of the
controlled system and the circuit amplification V0. For more detailed information,
refer to the Siemens brochure "Control technology" (ordering no. 0-91913-en)
Return temperature TRL Temperature of the medium at which it returns from the consumer to the heat or
cooling source
Gravity circulation The density of a medium depends on its temperature. If a medium is hot in one
place and cold in another, it starts to circulate due to different densities
Volumetric flow V Volume of a medium that passes through an opening for a certain time
Flow temperature TVL Temperature of a heating or cooling medium at which it leaves its source to enter a
hydraulic circuit
Selection of acting Certain types of Siemens actuators are equipped with DIL switches for selection of
direction the operating action of the respective valve (push to open, pull to open, normally
open, normally closed). The objective is to drive the valve to the fully open or fully
closed position should a power failure occur, depending on plant requirements
Forced control If forced control is demanded, no consideration is given to any other control
command. For example, if there is risk of frost, more heat is supplied to prevent
freeze-ups
