MZ Series Zone Control Valve and Actuator Assembly
Selection
Siemens Industry, Inc.
Description
This Technical Bulletin will aid in selecting a Powermite 599 MZ Series zone control
valve and actuator assembly. Begin with the graph of water capacity and the chart of
close-off pressures to select a valve and actuator according to specificat
ions. Use Table
1 to identify product numbers.
Table 1 shows all the possible combinations of the Powermite 599 Series valves and
compatible actuators that can be ordered as complete valve assemblies from the
factory.
The dimensions of all valves and the service envelope required for each actuator are
included in Tables 2 through 4.
How To Use The
Selection Graphs
Use Figure 1, the water capacity graph, to select a valve. Locate the specified flow rate
on the vertical axis. Follow across on the horizontal line to the point of intersection with
the specified pressure drop. Chose the valve size from the heavy diagonal lines across
the graph.
Use Figure 2, the close-off pressure graphs, to select an actuator. First locate the graph
for the valve action specified. Locate the bar that represents the valve line size. The top
of the bar indicates the maximum close-off pressure for tight close-off.
How To Use The
Valve Tables
Table 1 has been organized to help select a valve and actuator combination using
additional specifications.
Moving from left to right, identify the valve assembly needed. Continue to the right to
match the valve to a desired actuator.
A valve and actuator assembly part number is determined by combining the actuator
prefix code with the suffix of the valve product number.
No valve will combine with all actuators. The symbol “—
” indicates a combination that is
a special order. A shaded space indicates an inappropriate combination.
Selection Example
Select a two-way, normally closed, female by female NPT threaded valve and actuator
assembly for an ANSI 250 piping system that will deliver 20 gpm (4.5 m
3
/
h) chilled
water with no more than 5 psi (35 kPa) pressure drop across the fully open valve.
Specification
The valve shall be operated by a 24 Vac powered, three-position control signal, fail-in-
place electronic actuator, and must close off tightly against a pump head pressure of
15 psi (1 bar).
