Volume flow controllers & volume flow limiters – for optimum ventilation via ventilation and air-conditioning systems

In a central ventilation system, an air volume controller ensures that the required air volume is distributed efficiently and in line with demand. It helps to improve indoor comfort, save energy when properly controlled, and maintain stable system operation. An volume flow limiter, on the other hand, ensures that a pre-set upper limit on air flow is not exceeded.

As part of its range of air distribution products, Wildeboer offers various designs of volume flow controllers and volume flow limiters, as well as louvre dampers and pressure regulators. Plan your air distribution system with ease using our Wildeboer Connect configurator.

  • Wide range of applications: The components are suitable for a variety of requirements in commercial, public and industrial buildings.
  • Support for standard-compliant system design: Wildeboer helps you to implement your ventilation systems safely, efficiently and in line with the design specifications.

An overview of our volume flow controllers

Volume flow controllers are components in ventilation and air-conditioning systems that regulate the air flow rate to a fixed or variable value and maintain it at a constant level or compensate for pressure fluctuations. They are required to reliably supply individual areas with the correct air volume and to ensure efficient, comfortable and standard-compliant air distribution. Wildeboer’s volume flow controllers offer mechanical or electronic solutions depending on requirements and enable precise, energy-efficient air flow control.

The Wildeboer volume flow limiter

Volume flow limiters are components in ventilation systems that limit the air flow rate to a specified maximum value. They are used to support air distribution via conventional flow regulators within a narrower pressure range and to promote an economical system design. They are particularly suitable for use in combination with a pressure regulator to maintain constant pressure in the sub-distribution system. The VLR1 volume flow limiter from Wildeboer is maintenance-free, antistatic and microbiologically safe, and thus meets the highest standards for a variety of applications.

Mechanical volume flow control: simple and efficient

Mechanical volume flow controllers are a tried-and-tested solution for regulating air volumes in ventilation and air-conditioning systems (VAC) with precision and energy efficiency. In the field of HVAC, mechanical air flow controllers operate without an external power source and utilise a self-acting control mechanism to maintain the set air flow rate at a constant level, even under fluctuating pressure conditions. This makes them particularly suitable for applications where simple, low-maintenance and reliable air flow control is required, such as in offices, corridors or other individual areas.

Depending on requirements, they are available in various designs, either as purely constant-flow or, with an auxiliary drive, conditionally variable models. With solutions such as the VK2, a rectangular air flow regulator, and the VR1-N, a round air flow regulator for low pressures and flow velocities, Wildeboer offers a practical range of products for modern air distribution in ventilation and air-conditioning systems.

Electronic volume flow control: precise and flexible control

Electronic volume flow controllers are used to precisely regulate air flow rates in modern HVAC systems and adjust them to actual demand. They can control both constant, pre-set and variable flow rate setpoints, thereby ensuring demand-based supply and extract air control.

Wildeboer’s electronic volume flow controllers continuously measure the air volume and automatically adjust the position of the damper blade to ensure that the desired volume flow is reliably maintained. Models such as the VRE1 and Wildeboer VKE1 volume flow controllers also provide an efficiency signal for optimising the fan speed and can be conveniently configured via a display, whilst the Wildeboer VRup and Wildeboer VKup offer versatile communication options, either via analogue signals or various bus protocols. Thanks to their high control accuracy, they support energy-efficient operation, contribute to a comfortable indoor climate and, if required, can also ensure reliable shut-off of the air duct. Furthermore, the controllers are maintenance-free, can be installed in any orientation and are suitable for a wide range of applications in ventilation technology.

 

Electronic volume flow controllers with special functions 

For specialised ventilation and air-conditioning applications in which a failure of the power supply must not lead to an uncontrolled state of the ventilation system, the Wildeboer VRpro and Wildeboer VKpro electronic volume flow controllers offer a spring-return function. If required, the controllers can also be fitted with a high-speed drive for rapid adjustment of air flow rates, thereby offering a high degree of flexibility.

Connection to the Wildeboer-Net also enables centralised monitoring and control, which ensures greater operational reliability within the context of building automation. The combination of precise regulation, flexible control and special functions makes these controllers an indispensable component of modern ventilation systems.
