Danfoss is engineering HVAC 4.0 for smart buildings:
With its dynamic hydronic balancing and high-accuracy control performance in partial load conditions, Danfoss PICVs improve indoor comfort in public and commercial buildings. At the same time, they increase the energy-efficiency of HVAC systems, so they perform with the lowest possible operational costs.

Equipped with NovoCon series digital actuators, detailed HVAC system data is made available for Active Energy Management (AEM) by BACnet or Modbus connected Building Management Systems (BMS).

  • @rlbsbc163bel
    I don't have a need to use picvs but I really enjoy the breakdown on how things work and why...very informative mate..ty so much
  • @hussainak8775
    Very well explained & graphics are amazing. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
  • @chater12
    Excellent animations to show the workings. In the process of designing a system with a heat exchanger, I had planned to use a proportional valve to control the fluid flow. Great to find out now that this is a better valve selection! Thanks again for the awesome video. Will be ordering one of these on Monday.
  • We started swapping out all our delta style valves to these Danfoss valves. Thanks for the explanation.
  • @godofplumbing
    I love your videos. I actually use them to teach part of my Plumbing class hydraulic flow. Thank you for making my life easier.
  • @Faz527
    Wow... Well explained... Good animation and analogies along with examples!
  • @chenxihit
    Thank you and very nice video to explain PICV🎉
