Abstract
A combined balancing and control valve suitable for use in a hydronic system is provided, including a chamber enclosing a plug (), a seat () and a cam and pinion mechanism (-) for adjusting the separation of the plug () and the seat (). Pressure ports () are included for monitoring the rate of fluid flow across the separation. The cam and pinion mechanism provides a motion transformation (-) operable by an actuator () to control the motion of the valve plug (). The valve plug motion provides a favorable change in conductance of the valve for a given change in the actuator position. The actuator () is calibrated in increments which correspond to incremental changes in the conductance.
