Fan-Coil Unit Kit

► FCU-Kit
Pre-assembled brass multi-function bypass unit for fan-coil systems, chilled beams, heaters and other
constant flow rate conditioning systems.
■ PRESENTATION
FCU-Kit (Fan-Coil Unit Kit) is a pre-assembled multifunction
bypass unit designed for plants that require a constant flow of
heat transfer fluid, such as:
l Fan coils
l Cold beams
l Ceiling air conditioning systems.
The flow control is entrusted to a PICV (Pressure Independent
Control Valve) dynamic balancing valve.
FCU-Kit connects the supply and return pipes to the terminal
units and integrates the following accessories, necessary for
the correct operation and the maintenance of the system:
l Three-way valves
l Two loading/unloading taps
l Mesh filter
l PICV
l Piezometric nipples
l Venturi's orifice for flow measurement.
■ RANGE
Connections: G 1/2 "F (DN 15) or G 3/4 "F (DN 20).
Available with or without insulation shell (suitable for both heating and cooling applications).
Venturi's orifice: six sizes available to optimize flow control in multiple operating conditions.
■ PLUS
l Compact: space-saving.
l Multifunction: five operating and maintenance modes.
l Pre-assembled: easy and quick installation.
l Two integrated loading/unloading taps.
l Simplified system maintenance.
l Improved water quality thanks to integrated mesh filter.
l Flow control via PICV (Pressure Independent Control Valve).
l Flow measurement and precise balancing thanks to the Venturi orifice and piezometric sockets.

■ COMPONENTS

■ CONSTRUCTION DETAILS
Three-way shut off valves
The two FCU-Kitvalves have three operating positions:
l Position A allows water to be recirculated only on the end unit section.
l Position B allows water to flow from the primary side to the consumer and vice versa.
l Position C of both valves isolates the terminal unit from the rest of the system and vice versa.
Bypass branch
The bypass of the system allows the maintenance of both the unit and the user's side to be carried out.
PICV
FCU-Kit integrates a pressure independent control valve (PICV)
that regulates and maintains the water flow value constant
regardless of pressure fluctuations in the system.
The flow rate can be controlled:
l Mechanically, by setting the flow rate value by turning
the PICC (Pressure Independent Control Cartridge) ring
nut;
l Electronically, by mounting an ON/OFF or proportional
servomotor on the PICC cartridge. The servomotor
imposes a certain value of flow rate circulating in the
terminal unit depending on the thermal load to be
satisfied.

PICC cartridge compatibility
The PICV valve of the FCU-Kit can be combined with an insert

of your choice according to the type of operation and the
working conditions required (flow rate, differential pressure).
The recommended cartridge is that shown in the figure, PICC
03. This insert allows the stabilization of the flow rate and the
possibility to choose between 41 different flow positions, with
the possibility of adjustment with an axial actuator ON/OFF or
0-10 Volt. In this way it is possible to intercept the valve, but
also and above all to modulate the flow rate independently of
the differential pressure. In essence, the valve limits the
maximum flow rate and modulates it independently of the
pressure at the ends of the insert. Depending on the PICC 03
model installed, the flow rate values that can be managed are
as follows.
l 16-200 kPa: 37-575 l/h (cod. 590123);
l 30-400 kPa: 64-1110 l/h (cod. 590124);
l 35-800 kPa: 620-2560 l/h (cod. 590127).
The other two inserts that can be combined with the PICV valve are PICC 01 and PICC 02.
PICC 01 offers the possibility to pre-calibrate the flow rate up to

8 available values/positions and allows its stabilization even in
case of pressure variations.
PICC 02 transforms the PICV valve into a flow stabilizer. on each
insert it is possible to select by means of a special key a
position/flow rate among 41 available values. It is possible to
change the calibration position directly from outside and while
the system is running.
■ FLOW RATE ADJUSTMENT
The maximum flow rate value managed by the valve body is

set with a double adjustment mechanism: the external crown
of the cartridge shows the unit of the adjustment position,
while the decimal number is indicated in the box.
The adjustment cartridge 590127 (mod. PICC 03) has an

opposite scale compared to the other two versions. Of the
number indicating the adjustment position, the unit is in the
internal box, while the decimal number is on the outer ring of
the bezel.

■ INSTALLATION
The possible installation positions of the FCU-Kit are shown below. The FCU-Kit can be installed in any ceiling position. In the wall
installation is excluded the one with the actuator inserted upside down, such as the following

■ OPERATING MODE 1
Supply to the terminal unit.
The valves are both open (position B), the bypass branch of
the system is closed. Water flows into the terminal unit.
Insulation of the terminal unit and flushing of the primary
circuit.
Both valves are closed (position C), the bypass branch of the
system is open. The water from the primary circuit recirculates
into the bypass branch.
This configuration is used to clean the primary circuit, avoiding
possible contamination of the water on the terminal unit side.
Washing the terminaul unit with water from the primary circuit
- PICV cartridge not mounted.
System supply valve is open (position B), return valve is

closed (position C). The bypass branch is closed.
Disconnect the PICV cartridge from the system to prevent
clogging.
This configuration allows water from the main circuit
(containing the cleaning fluid) to circulate through the
terminal unit. The water is discharged from the drain valve of
the return branch of the system.

Direct washing of the mesh filter.
The supply valve of the system is open (position B), the return
valve is closed (position C). The bypass branch is closed.
This configuration allows water from the main circuit to
circulate through the mesh filter. The filter is deprived of
residual impurities and the water is discharged from the
discharge tap of the system's delivery branch.
Insulation of the terminal unit for maintenance and cleaning -
PICV cartridge not mounted.
The valves are both closed (position C), the bypass branch of
the system is open. Primary circuit water recirculates into the
bypass branch.
Disconnect the PICV cartridge from the system to prevent
possible debris from clogging it.
