Technical data
Nominal sizes 125 – 400 mm
Volume flow rate range 14 – 2007 l/s or 50 – 7228 m³/h
Volume flow rate control range (unit with dynamic effective pressure Approx. 10 – 100 % of the nominal volume flow
measurement) rate
Minimum differential pressure Up to 258 Pa (without circular silencer)
Maximum differential pressure 1000 Pa
Operating temperature 10 to 50 °C
Quick sizing
Quick sizing tables provide a good overview of the minimum differential pressures, the volume flow rate accuracy and the room
sound pressure levels that can be expected. Intermediate values may be achieved by interpolation.
The sound power levels for calculating the sound pressure levels were measured in the TROX laboratory according to DIN EN ISO
5135 - see "Basic information and nomenclature".
Precise results and spectral data for all control components can be calculated with our Easy Product Finder design program. The
first selection criteria for the nominal size are the actual volume flow rates qvmin and qvmax.

Installation and commissioning
▪ Any installation orientation (except units with static effective pressure transducer)
▪ Return edges of the casing with drilled holes suitable for M10 threaded rods
▪ TVA-D: For constructions with acoustic cladding, ducts on the room side should have cladding up to the acoustic cladding of the
controller
Upstream conditions
The volume flow rate accuracy Δqᵥ applies to straight upstream section. Bends, junctions or a narrowing or widening of the duct
cause turbulence that may affect measurement. Duct connections, e.g. branches off the main duct, must comply with EN 1505.
