The Cla-Val Model 133-AV Multi-Function Electronic Interface Valve is a control system that accurately calculates and/or controls flow rate, position or pressure. The valve is designed to maintain a position in the event of a power failure. Using the VC-22D Electronic Controller, data from valve mounted pressure transmitter (X141-PT) and position transmitter (X117D) are assimilated into a proprietary algorithm program that is based on valve size and configuration to arrive at a flow measurement.
Cla-Val 133-AV Electronic Interface Control Valve
The Cla-Val 133-AV is a hydraulically actuated control valve for water distribution networks, equipped with the VC-22D electronic interface. The system enables calculation or closed-loop control of flow, valve position, or pressure, utilizing the X117D position transmitter and X141-PT pressure transmitter. In the event of power loss, the valve maintains its last position, ensuring process stability.
Control Functionality
The VC-22D controller accepts both analog and digital signals and supports Modbus RTU/TCP protocols. Flow can be calculated from valve position and differential pressure without a dedicated flowmeter, provided the valve sizing and characteristic curves are suitable for this method.

Valve Selection Criteria
Proper selection requires specification of supply voltage, minimum/maximum pressure, flow range, DN, pressure class, and optional features such as strainer, isolation valves, opening/closing speed controls, or independent operating pressure. Media compatibility, actuator type, and sealing options should be evaluated based on process requirements and maintenance considerations.
