Application
The butterfly valves BVG, BVA, BVH, BVHM and BVHS
are designed to adjust volumes of gas, cold and hot air
and flue gas on various appliances and flue gas lines.
They are designed for control ratios up to 1:10, and with
the mounted actuator IC 20 or IC 40 they are suitable for
regulating flow rates for modulating or stage-controlled
combustion processes.
Flow rates can be set and fixed using a lever, for example
to limit the high-fire rate on the burner. A scale indicates
BVG for gas, the set angle of opening.
BVA for air

BVH, BVHM
The butterfly valve BVH is used for processes that re-
quire the very precise adjustment of the flow rate or low
leakage. In conjunction with the stop bar, the patented
TWINDISC® valve disc ensures very low leakage rates.
BVH: Using a spiral spring which compensates for the
play in combination with the actuator IC 40 it is possible
to move the valve disc to the required angle with almost
zero hysteresis.
BVHM: Well suited to intermittent operation due to the
large number of operating cycles in conjunction with the
solenoid actuator M..B.

for hot air, the actuators can be used in temperatures of

can be used in temperatures of up to 450°C (840°F).
Installation position:
Vertical or horizontal, not upside down.
When built into a vertical pipe, dirt may accumulate on
the stop bar, which may prevent the valve from closing
properly. This is why we recommend selecting the direc-
tion of flow from bottom to top.
If pipe fittings are installed in the pipe, the additional
pressure loss must be taken into account.
If the valve is used with hot air, the pipeline should be

adequately insulated so as to reduce the ambient tem-
perature – the flanges and the butterfly valve BVH, BVHS
or BVHM must be kept free of insulating material.

Maintenance cycles
The butterfly valves BVG, BVA, BVH, BVHM and BVHS
require little maintenance.
We recommend a function check once a year.

Glossary
Control characteristic, valve authority
In order for the butterfly valve to be able to influence the
flow rate, a proportion of the pressure loss ∆p from the
entire system has to be caused by the butterfly valve.
Taking into consideration that the overall pressure loss
∆p should be kept to a minimum, a control characteristic/
valve authority a = 0.3 is recommended for the butterfly
valve. This means that of the overall pressure loss ∆p
there is a 30% drop on the fully open butterfly valve.
Interpolation (linear)
Mathematical production of interim values at equal dis-
tance to the adjacent value.
Hot air compensation

The volume of air increases with the addition of hot air.
The oxygen content contained in the air reduces with
every m3. In order to maintain a constant oxygen content,
additional air has to be added to the combustion gas.
