Advantages
Measure and control instantly with the Belimo Energy Valve™
The Belimo Energy Valve™ offers certified energy metering (MID) and pressure-independent flow, energy efficiency, power control, and delta T management in one device. Monitor and instantly optimise energy consumption for optimal system performance.
Always the correct water quantity
Ideal room comfort by ensuring the correct amount of water, even with differential pressure changes and in partial load operation.
Continuous power control
Consistent temperature and volumetric flow measurement for accurate power control.
Delta T management
Continuous measurement of the temperature spread and comparison with the limit value set for the specific system. If the temperature falls below the limit value, the Belimo Energy Valve™ automatically adjusts the flow rate so that only the amount of water actually required to achieve the desired power is used.
Time savings in planning
Reduced planning effort and time savings through simple valve design.
Less installation work
Cost reduction and time savings thanks to the all-in-one solution. No complex hydronic balancing necessary.
Energy efficient
The tight-closing characterised control valve prevents internal leakage in the closed state and thereby waste at zero load. The integrated logic prevents the occurrence of the "low delta T" syndrome and ensures maximum comfort with the lowest possible energy consumption.
Flexible
Easy to set maximum flow.
Reliable certified metering enabling IoT-based billing
The Belimo Thermal Energy Meters™ are certified according to EN 1434/MID and are equipped for remote, IoT-based billing. Belimoʼs patented automatic glycol monitoring and compensation ensure that your measurement remains accurate, even if the glycol concentrations change.

Digitally supported project design and commissioning
Apps and web tools support the design process and offer fast and simple commissioning at your fingertips. A truly digital approach and full transparency on the end usersʼs energy data makes your life easier.
The Belimo Thermal Energy Meter™ with NFC interface (Near Field Communication) enable easy configuration and maintenance directly from a smartphone. With the Belimo Assistant 2, the devices can be configured intuitively and commissioning values can be logged. Key performance indicators, which make it easy to determine the "health status" of the device, ensure reliable operation. Numerous diagnostic parameters show how the device interacts with the system during operation. If servicing is required, it is possible to draw up a failure analysis quickly.
Seamless integration of metering data
Seamless and direct integration to the BMS and equipped for IoT-based energy monitoring and billing. Integration of energy-data has never been easier. One device provides all the information you need to improve the energy performance of your system.
Excellent connectivity
The Belimo Energy Valve™ has on board all common building automation communication protocols.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
PoE allows the device to be powered and the data to be transmitted simultaneously via an Ethernet cable. This simplifies installation, avoids wiring errors and eliminates the need for a local power supply.
Direct integration into IoT platforms
Belimo's IoT-ready products allow field devices to be connected directly to modern building IoT platforms. Now you can benefit from the possibilities of a networked digital ecosystem.

Control
Control of valve position, flow or power for perfectly controlling the heat exchanger.
Balancing
The Belimo Energy Valve™ always ensures the correct amount of water is used – even in the event of differential pressure changes and in partial load operation.
Isolating
The energy supply to a zone can be completely shut off. No leakage thanks to the air-bubble tight characterised control valve.
Energy monitoring
Optimisation potential can be identified by recording all system data.
Billing
Ready for IoT-based tenant billing.
Modular design for a fast meter exchange
The Thermal Energy Meter consists of a sensor module (lower part) with connected temperature sensors, which houses the calculator unit and measuring system, and the logic module (upper part), which connects the Thermal Energy Meter to the power supply and provides the bus and NFC communication interface.
The sensor module is available as a spare part and, in certain countries, must be periodically replaced according to national regulations. To do this, the logic module can be separated (leaving all cables connected) and the lower sensor module can be easily exchanged. After that the logic module is clipped back on again. There is no need to re-connect cables or re-integrate the meter into the system. A very significant time-saving!

Heating application
The animation shows a Belimo Energy Valve on the supply side of a heating application. The Delta T set point in the valve is matching the design Delta T of the coil, 11° Fahrenheit /6 Kelvin.
As the temperature sensors start to realize a lower differential temperature across the coil, the valve begins to close, and the flow starts to slow down, allowing a more efficient heat exchange across the coil and eliminating overflow.
Once the valve realizes that the Delta T is beginning to stabilize, it allows more flow back through the coil and keeps the optimum heat transfer available.
Cooling application
The animation shows a Belimo Energy Valve set up on the return side of a cooling coil.
The Delta T set point in the valve is matching the design Delta T of the coil, 15° Fahrenheit / 8 Kelvin.
As the temperature sensors detect that the Delta T has been below the set point for a few minutes, the valve begins to close to lower the flow. This enables the heat exchanger to optimize the energy output and eliminate the overflow.
As soon as the Delta T begins to stabilize, the valve starts opening to keep the designed heat exchange output through the coil constant.
