Technical data
The regulator's nameplate contains informa-
tion on the regulator version (see section 2.1).

u
Process medium and scope of application
The
Type 2488/5xxx and Type 2488/
TROVIS 5xxx
Pressure-independent Control
Valves (PICV) are used to control the flow
rate and temperature in district heating sys-
tems or extended heating or cooling net-
works.
−
Suitable for
water
and
non-flammable
gases
−
Non-flammable gases up to
80 °C
−
Liquids up to
150 °C
−
Permissible ambient temperature
0 to
50 °C
The regulators are open when relieved of
pressure.
They close (provided the restriction has not
been closed manually) when the output sig-
nal issued by the electric control device in-
creases.
Conformity
The Type 2488/5xxx and Type 2488/
TROVIS 5xxx Regulator bears both the CE
and EAC marks of conformity.
Note
Leakage class
All regulators have the leakage class I ac-
cording to IEC 60534-4.
Temperature range
The Type 2488/5xxx and 2488/
TROVIS
5xxx Regulators are designed for a
temperature range from –10 to +150 °C.
Noise emission
SAMSON is unable to make general state-
ments about noise emissions as they depend
on the valve version, plant facilities and pro-
cess medium.
Risk of hearing loss or deafness due to loud
noise.
Î
Wear hearing protection when working
near the valve.
The Type 2488/5xxx and Type 2488/
TROVIS
5xxx Pressure-independent Control
Valves (PICV) are not safety valves. If neces
-
sary, a suitable overpressure protection must
be installed on site in the plant section.
Dimensions and weights
Table 4 provides a summary of the dimen
-
sions and weights of the Type 2488/5xxx
and 2488/TROVIS 5xxx Regulators. The
lengths and heights in Fig. 4 are shown on
