The NovoCon® digital IoT actuators are tailor made to fit Danfoss AB-QM Pressure Independent balancing and Control Valves. They establish the perfect connection between superior hydronic HVAC system performance and smart building automation solutions.
Traditional controlled actuators, at best, offer an analog feedback signal to the BMS controller. Instead, the NovoCon® actuators offer many digital system parameters directly to the Building Management System via BACnet or Modbus. It for example exchanges accurate information about the actuator/valve position, settings, temperatures, alarms etc.
Features and benefits
Remote access
Via the BMS system and bus communication all actuators can be remotely accessed. This saves a lot of time during the installation and commissioning of the system as well as during the many years the building is operational.
Continuous commissioning
System data can be retrieved and analyzed in order to optimize the HVAC system. In case adaptions to e.g. setting of design flows are required, it can easy be done. On one, a few or all actuators at the same time. Continuously monitoring and commissioning the system saves time and costs throughout the life cycle of the building.
Predictive maintenance
Don't wait for HVAC components to fail, cause complaints and need for urgent and disturbing service activities. Instead, you can see where and when an issue might occur and you can take precautions and act pro-actively.
Flexibility all over
The designers or system integrators of BMS systems can realize customized HVAC solutions for every project. In case the building user wants to refurbish the building, the HVAC system can be adapted accordingly without physical adjustments to the BMS components.
Danfoss NovoCon® series of digital actuators for PICVs consists of four versions:
NovoCon® S fits AB-QM valves DN 10-32 and new AB-QM 4.0 valves DN 15-32. These combinations are applicable for various types of Terminal Units such as Fan Coil Units (FCU), chilled beams and radiant panels. The valves are used in two-pipe heating or cooling and four-pipe heating/cooling change-over systems for flows from 20-4,000 l/h.
For fast and reliable installation the NovoCon® S can only be connected to the BMS and wired in daisy-chain by using our series of plug & play connection cables
NovoCon® M fits dedicated AB-QM NovoCon® valves DN 40-100. These combinations are applicable for the control of higher volume flows from 3-59 m3/h in e.g. Air Handling Units (AHU).
NovoCon® L fits AB-QM valves DN 125-150. These combinations are applicable for the control of high volume flows from 36-190 m3/h in e.g. chiller applications.
NovoCon® XL fits AB-QM valves DN 200-250. These combinations are applicable for the control of the highest volume flows from 80-370 m3/h in e.g. District cooling applications.
