Installation procedure:

Before installation of Cim 3776B, check that inside the valve and the pipes there are no
OK
foreign matters which might damage the tightness of the valve.
Cim 3776 shall be installed to the flanges of the pipe perfectly aligned with its flanges, by
assuring that coupled parts will not suffer any stress. The valve shall not be used as anchor
for hanging pipes, rather it is the pipe that shall support the valve itself. Make sure to true
up the tightening gaskets of the flanges before tightening the bolts.
NO Pay attention to any welding procedure carried out in the installation, for this could cause
high temperatures exceeding the working limits of the valve. Pipes should be equipped
with thermal expansion joint.
Use gasket suitable for valve DN, PN, and working conditions. We recommend to use gas-
ket conforming to standards: EN DIN 1514-1 (former DIN 2690), suitable for raised face PN16
flanges according to: EN 1092 - ISO 7005 - DIN2526 form C - UNI 2229.
Pay attention to gasket placement: gasket must not disturb the flow.
The lower part of valve body contains compressed spings. DO NOT OPEN.

WARNING
DO NOT OPEN
COMPRESSED
SPRING

Typical installations:
Cim 3776B is suitable for variable volume system to control fan coil flow rate directly. Below
a typical installation: in each moment the flow rate is the required one and there will be no
extra-flow due to the pressure fluctuations.

Balancing:

Valve can regulate a wide flow rate range. The flow regulation is done by means of a triple
offset butterfly valve that assure low operating torque and accurate regulation.
The disc shape determines the regulation characteristic: linear (standard) or equipercent-
age (on request).
Design includes specific features to avoid damages to the internal component and the
actuator in case of water hammers.
The angle of rotation can be limited on the device between 0 and 90 and continuously
adjusted between 5 and 80.
The limit is fixed using a set screw directly on the actuator or the gear box and the limit stop
on the self-centring spindle adapter.
The flow rate can be measured as describe in the following pages.

Limit stops with gear box Cim 920/3776B Limit stops in EMV213/145 and EMV213/147

Sizing:

Thanks to their unique design, these valves are able to perform the following functions:
REGULATION: selection of required flow rate within the operating range;
The electrical actuator allows to set the flow rates working limits.

CONTROL: constant flow rate despite of pressure fluctuations;

Two different pressures operate on the DPC controller . The first one is transmitted from
the valve inlet to the lower section; the second one is registered at valve outlet by the
flow rate selecting device pa. In order to keep constant the difference between the
mentioned pressures, the DPC controller obturator operates by closing the water outlet
bore to reach the preset flow rate, regardless of fluctuating pressure conditions of the
system.

MODULATION: flow rate modulation for temperature control;

The electrical actuator performs the modulating function changing the section of flow
passage. When continuous modulation is carried out, the temperature is kept under
control. With continuous modulation, control is excellent even with small flow opening.
This eliminates on/off effect.
Relative density Constant flow is obtained through the valve, despite of pressure fluctuations.
Fluid r By simply measuring differential pressure (see below picture), the flow is obtained as fol-

Constant flow is obtained through the valve, despite pressure fluctuations.

If differential pressure across the whole valve is above pmin (start-up pressure), the flow
rate is the same as the one stated on the valve table (function) of the pre-set;

Circuit pressure drop: pc=10 kPa;
Flow rate: Q= 48 m3/h=13.33 l/s;
pa
pc

Maximum head: pa,max = 60 kPa (Pump head);

pb
pa = pb + pc
pb Pressure drop across Cim 3776B
pc Circuit pressure drop
pa Available pressure for the riser
Pipeline size: DN 100.
It is possible to install a valve with the same diameter of the pipe, to avoid fittings instal-
lation. Using a Cim 3776B DN100, it is possible to check from the attached tables the flow
rate (7,5 - 75 m3/h).
In this conditions P.I.C.V. needs at least 30 kPa of differential pressure in order to work prop-
erly, the available pressure on the riser should be at least:

SUGGESTED VALUES AND TIPS: The maximum allowable differential pressure across the balancing valve is 400 kPa, it
means that the maximum head at the riser should be:
Velocities in the pipeline:
Max = 3 m/s
Min = 0.75 m/s Being the maximum head less than the calculated limit, the installation is correct.
For the preliminary sizings where the
value of maximum available pressure is
not known, it is possible to use the ma-
ximum head of the pump directly.
