Volume flow controllers and volume flow limiters – for optimal ventilation and air conditioning

In a central ventilation system, the function of the volume flow controller is of crucial importance. Without a controller, excessive noise and draughts would occur, which must be avoided to protect the room users. In this context, volume flow controllers are the crucial components that make it possible to control the air volume flow according to the requirements of the respective room conditions. The method of operation of the volume flow controllers guarantees very precise compliance with the designed parameters, thus ensuring optimum air quality and comfortable room temperatures. At the same time, the energy efficiency of the system is optimised.

Wildeboer offers three different versions of volume flow controllers. We explain below which version is best suited to which application.

Mechanical volume flow control: simple and efficient

Mechanical volume flow control is a proven method for controlling air volume flows in ventilation and air conditioning systems. It functions without an external energy source and is based on physical principles that regulate the air volume flow by means of a damper blade and a control mechanism. Mechanical volume flow controllers, such as the Wildeboer VR1-N for low pressures and the proven VR1, offer a cost-effective and maintenance-free solution for regulating the air supply, for example in individual offices or corridors.

The VK2 volume flow controller in a square design and the VRL1 volume flow limiter as a slide-in controller round off the portfolio. These components are particularly suitable for facilities and buildings that require simple but precise control of the air volume flow. Thanks to their automatic operation, they keep the set volume flow constant under fluctuating pressure conditions.

Electronic volume flow control: precise and flexible control

The electronic volume flow controllers from Wildeboer provide advanced and precise control of the air volume flows for modern ventilation systems. They are able to control both constant and variable, demand-dependent volume flow values.

The VRE1 and VKE1 models provide an efficiency signal for optimising the fan speed, with convenient parameterisation via a display on the drive. The VRup and VKup controllers are characterised by a wide range of communication options, whether analogue or via various bus protocols.

Thanks to minimal deviations in the control of the air volume flows, they support energy-efficient operation and help to create a pleasant indoor climate. The electronic controllers are designed to ensure reliable shut-off of the duct in various scenarios, which is necessary for the function and safety of air conditioning systems in some situations. Electronic volume flow controllers from Wildeboer are maintenance-free and can be installed in any position. They are also suitable for supply and extract air control. 

Electronic volume flow controllers with special functions - extremely flexible

For special ventilation and air conditioning applications in which a power failure must not lead to an uncontrolled state of the ventilation system, the electronic volume flow controllers VRpro and VKpro from Wildeboer offer a spring return function, for example. If required, the controllers can also be equipped with a high-speed actuator for quick adjustment of volume flows, thus providing a high degree of flexibility.

Connection to the Wildeboer-Net enables centralised monitoring and control, which ensures increased operational reliability as part of building automation. The combination of precise control, flexible activation and special functions makes these controllers an indispensable component of modern ventilation systems.
