Sizing Steam Valves
Two-Position Applications: The valve is normally sized to be the same as the pipe using the largest Cv available for a given pipe size.
Modulating Applications: Select the valve to meet the BtuH requirements of the coil.
Assumptions:
1. The table assumes an atmospheric return.
2. Minimum coil BtuH calculated assuming a pressure drop across the valve of 50% of supply pressure.
3. Maximum coil BtuH calculated assuming a pressure drop across the valve of 80% of supply pressure.
