Sign up to our Variable Flow Webinar
Understanding PICVs for Effective Flow Control in Variable Volume Systems
Wednesday 27th Oct 2021 6.00pm to 7.30pm (UAE Time), in collaboration with CIBSE UAE
Presenters: Mark Walker – Technical Specification Engineer UK & Ahmad Marzouk – Regional Technical Manager MEA
This webinar will provide insight into the use of Pressure Independent Control Valves (PICVs) on modern variable volume systems, utilising live BMS feeds from our Flow Technology Centre, in Dubai as well as interactive examples. We will also explore the operation, application and common installation queries in relation to these products, at the end of the Webinar, participants will be able to confidently select the appropriate product to maximize energy efficiency in their designs.
