Pressure-independent characterised control valves
Powerful solutions
Pressure-independent control valves ensure precise control of hydronic systems. This improves room comfort and allows for significant energy savings. Automatic, hydronic balancing is also guaranteed under all load conditions. Belimo offers a range of pressure-independent (PI) valves – from the super-compact PI valves PIQCV or PIFLV, and the EPIV, an electronic PI valve, to the Belimo Energy Valve™. The latter two offer true flow measurement. System performance is optimised, documented and proven.

HVAC hydronics – the goldmine in building renovation projects.
The smart control of heating, cooling, and ventilation loads has a big impact on the energy efficiency of buildings. A key aspect here is the heating and chilled water circuit, i.e. the hydronics of a building.
Generation
- No energy loss at zero load reduces operating costs.
- Planning reliability as a first step towards better energy efficiency.
Distribution
- Pressure fluctuations in distribution lead to lower power output.
- Making energy flow visible.
Zone
- Demand-driven zone control.

Compact power
Energy-efficient valves for optimum performance
To ensure proper flow in any application, each valve can be pre-set at the factory and customised on-site. Additional balancing is not required. The system works perfectly right from the start. Pressure-independent valves are used when the flow through ventilation units, heating and cooling coils, fan coils, unit fans, VAV after-heating coils and underfloor heating systems must be controlled in an energy-efficient manner.
Product range
Modern hydronics with constant flow
To ensure high overall energy efficiency in buildings, energy-optimised heating and chilling systems are becoming increasingly important.
Always the correct water quantity
Ideal room comfort by ensuring the correct amount of water, even with differential pressure changes and in partial load operation.
Time savings in planning
Reduced planning effort and time savings through simple valve design.
Less installation work
Cost reduction and time savings thanks to the all-in-one solution. No complex hydronic balancing necessary.
Energy efficient
The tight-closing characterised control valve prevents internal leakage in the closed state and thereby waste at zero load.
Flexible
Easy to set maximum flow.
Safe
The self-cleaning effect prevents the control element from jamming and ensures reliable activation of the chilling or heating power.
Customer-specific products
These days, challenges in planning and on the construction site are difficult to solve using standard products, which is why customer-specific solutions are becoming increasingly important. We build the actuator you need – with the cable length, connector plug and parametrisation you specify. On request, we mount the actuator to a valve and create a pre-mounted assembly from pipe parts, sensors, connections and much more.
- Different cable types and lengths with or without a connector plug.
- Product labelling with your customer information (e.g. where the actuator is to be installed in the building).
- Completely prefabricated and tested assembly (e.g. seal integrity) with components of your choice.
- On request with flexible pipelines, with special coatings or insulation.
- We take care of the parametrisation for you (e.g. adjustable running time, switching differential and bus parameters). For HVAC performance devices (e.g. Belimo Energy Valve™), we prepare the complete commissioning for you according to your specifications.
We offer a "complete carefree package" for your application.
