System equipment, such as chillers and individual terminal units, is the heart of any HVAC system.
Extreme care and time is dedicated to their selection and performance criteria.
However, without proper flow through these units, their efficiencies and heating or cooling transfer capabilities are altered.
By specifying automatic balancing, the designer is assured that the system is accurately and dynamically balanced.
This means that all components will perform as specified regardless of changes.

The dynamic AutoFlow valve adjusts to lower differential pressures to provide design flow at any pump speed.
When pump speed is reduced in a direct return system, header pressures are reduced and some interior manually balanced coils will experience underflow.
With AutoFlow valves, the design GPM for each coil is maintained for the life of the building.
Manual balancing devices are commonly used as shut-off valves and require a memory stop to maintain the set position.
Because the memory stop can be adjusted, the "set position" can be lost, which will increase system flow and operating BHP.

Although the use of automatic flow regulators has continued to gain industry approval in the past years, resistance to their use still exists.
Most resistance is based on misconceptions about their use or on outdated information.
Following are several of the most common misconceptions along with practical responses.
The tamperproof nature of the AutoFlow sets the design for the life of the building.
It cannot be changed easily by well intentioned maintenance personnel.
However, if the flow requirement changes, a different AutoFlow cartridge with a new GPM can be installed in a few minutes.

The patented consolidated variable side porting and single orifice end hole provide the absolute maximum orifice size and minimum flow restriction at a given pressure differential.
The large end port boosts low pressure flow though the cartridge, utilizing the vena contracta occurring directly behind the variable side ports.
The engineering and manufacturing processes employ a total CAD/CAM system, producing seven different cartridge sizes for optimum flow regulation.
These cartridges are capable of controlling flows from 0.5 to 25,000 gallons per minute.
