R2+BAC
Type Overview
Structure
Components The Belimo Energy Valve consists of a characterised control valve, an actuator and a thermal
energy meter with a logic and a sensor module.
The logic module provides the power supply, the communication interface and the NFC
connection of the energy meter. All relevant data are measured and recorded in the sensor
module.
This modular design of the energy meter means that the logic module can remain in the
system if the sensor module is replaced.

Product features
Operating mode The HVAC performance device is comprised of four components: characterised control valve
(CCV), measuring pipe with flow sensor, temperature sensors and the actuator itself. The
adjusted maximum flow (V'max) is assigned to the maximum control signal DDC (typically 10
V / 100%). Alternatively, the control signal DDC can be assigned to the valve opening angle or
to the power required on the heat exchanger (see power control). The HVAC performance
device can be controlled via communicative or analogue signals. The fluid is detected by the
sensor in the measuring pipe and is applied as the flow value. The measured value is
balanced with the setpoint. The actuator corrects the deviation by changing the valve
position. The angle of rotation α varies according to the differential pressure through the
control element (see flow curves).
Calibration certificate A calibration certificate is available in the Belimo Cloud for each thermal energy meter. If
required, this can be downloaded as a PDF with Belimo Assistant 2 or via the Belimo Cloud
frontend.
Power calculation The thermal energy meter calculates the current thermal power based on the current flow
rate and the measured temperature difference.
Energy consumption The energy consumption data can be read out as follows:
- Bus
- Cloud API
- Belimo Cloud Account of the device owner
- Belimo Assistant 2
- Integrated web server
PoE (Power over Ethernet) If necessary, the thermal energy meter can be supplied with power via the Ethernet cable.
This function can be enabled via Belimo Assistant 2.
DC 24 V (max. 8 W) is available at wires 1 and 2 for power supply of external devices (e.g.
actuator or active sensor).
Caution: PoE may only be enabled if an external device is connected to wires 1 and 2 or if
wires 1 and 2 are insulated!
Spare parts Sensor module of the thermal energy meter consisting of:
- 1 x sensor module including integrated temperature sensor T2 and external temperature
sensor T1
Power control Alternatively, the control signal DDC can be assigned to the output power required at the heat
exchanger.
Depending on the water temperature and air conditions, the Energy Valve ensures the
amount of water V' required to achieve the desired power.
Control characteristics The specially configured control parameters in connection with the precise velocity sensor
ensure a stable quality of control. They are, however, not suitable for rapid control processes,
i.e. for domestic water control.
Power control
Q'nom is the maximum possible power output on the heat exchanger.
Q'max is the maximum power output on the heat exchanger which has been set with the
highest control signal DDC. Q'max can be set between 1% and 100% of Q'nom.
Q'min 0% (non-variable).
Flow control
V'nom is the maximum possible flow.
V'max is the maximum flow rate which has been set with the highest control signal DDC.
V'max can be set between 25% and 100% of V'nom.
Position control
In this setting, the control signal is assigned to the opening angle of the valve (e.g. Y = 10 V α
= 90°).
The result is a pressure-dependent operation similar to that of a conventional valve.
Running time of the motor in this mode is 90 s for 90°.
Differential pressure control In addition to power control, flow control and position control, the Energy Valve can be used
to control the differential pressure between two measuring points of a differential pressure
sensor (not included).
Creep flow suppression Given the very low flow speed in the opening point, this can no longer be measured by the
sensor within the required tolerance. This range is overridden electronically.
Opening valve
The valve remains closed until the flow required by the control signal DDC corresponds to 1%
of V'nom. The control along the flow characteristic is active after this value has been
exceeded.
Closing valve
The control along the flow characteristic is active up to the required flow rate of 1% of V'nom.
Once the level falls below this value, the flow rate is maintained at 1% of V'nom. If the level
falls below the flow rate of 0.5% of V'nom required by the control signal DDC, then the valve
will close.
Configurable actuators The factory settings cover the most common applications.
The parametrisation can be carried out through the integrated web server (RJ45 connection to
the web browser) or by communicative means.
Additional information regarding the integrated web server can be found in the separate
documentation.
Belimo Assistant 2 is required for parametrisation via Near Field Communication (NFC) and
simplifies commissioning. Moreover, Belimo Assistant 2 provides a variety of diagnostic
options.
Communication The parametrisation can be carried out through the integrated web server (RJ45 connection to
the web browser) or by communicative means.
Additional information regarding the integrated web server can be found in the separate
documentation.

Control signal inversion This can be inverted in cases of control with an analogue control signal DDC. The inversion
causes the reversal of the standard behaviour, i.e. at a control signal DDC of 0%, regulation is
to V'max or Q'max, and the valve is closed at a control signal DDC of 100%.
Hydronic balancing Via the integrated web server, the maximum flow rate (equivalent to 100% requirement) can
be adjusted on the device itself, simply and reliably, in a few steps. If the device is integrated
in the management system, then the balancing can be handled directly by the management
system.
Delta-T manager If a heating or cooling coil is operated with a flow rate that is too high and thus with a
differential temperature that is too low, this will not result in an increased power output.
Low differential temperatures result in heat generators or chillers providing energy at a lower
efficiency. At the same time, too much water is circulated by the pumps, which unnecessarily
increases energy consumption.
With the aid of the Energy Valve, it is easy to identify operation that deviates from the design
case and to locate energy that is being used inefficiently.
The integrated delta T manager offers the user the possibility to define a delta T limit value.
Falling below this value is automatically avoided by the Energy Valve by limiting the flow rate.
The delta T manager can be activated in the operating modes power control, flow control and
position control. The delta T manager is not available in the differential pressure control
operating mode.
Combination analogue - communicative With conventional control by means of an analogue control signal DDC, the integrated web
(hybrid mode) server, BACnet, Modbus or MP-Bus can be used for the communicative position feedback.
Power and energy monitoring function The HVAC performance device is equipped with two temperature sensors. A sensor (T2) is
already installed at the thermal energy meter and the second sensor (T1) must be installed
on-site on the other side of the water circuit. The two sensors are enclosed with the system
already wired. The sensors are used to record the fluid temperature of the supply and return
lines of the consumer (heating/cooling coil). As the water quantity is also known, thanks to
the flow measurement integrated in the system, the power released from the consumer can
be calculated. Furthermore, the heating/cooling energy is also determined automatically by
means of the evaluation of the power over time.
The current data, e.g. temperatures, volumetric flow volumes, exchanger energy
consumption etc. can be recorded and accessed at any time by means of web browsers or
communication.
Data recording The recorded data (integrated data recording for 13 months) can be used for the optimisation
of the overall system and for the determination of the performance of the consumer (heating/
cooling coil).

Product features
Glycol monitoring Glycol monitoring measures the actual glycol content, which is necessary for safe operation
and optimised heat exchange.
Error readout with analogue position If the sensor cannot measure the flow due to a sensor error, this is indicated by 0.3 V at the
feedback position feedback U. This is only the case if the analogue position feedback U is set to flow
and the lower value of the signal range is 0.5 V or more.
Manual override Manual override with push-button possible (the gear train is disengaged for as long as the
button is pressed or remains locked).
High functional safety The actuator is overload protected, requires no limit switches and automatically stops when
the end stop is reached.

Installation notes
Permissible installation orientation The ball valve can be installed upright to horizontal. The ball valve may not be installed in a
hanging position, i.e. with the spindle pointing downwards.
Water quality requirements The water quality requirements specified in VDI 2035 must be adhered to.
Belimo valves are regulating devices. For the valves to function correctly in the long term, they
must be kept free from particle debris (e.g. welding beads during installation work). The
installation of a suitable strainer is recommended.
Flow direction The direction of flow, specified by an arrow on the housing, is to be complied with, since
otherwise the flow rate will be measured incorrectly.
Cleaning of pipes Before installing the thermal energy meter, the circuit must be thoroughly rinsed to remove
impurities.
Prevention of stresses The thermal energy meter must not be subjected to excessive stress caused by pipes or
fittings.
Inlet section In order to achieve the specified measuring accuracy, a flow-calming section or inflow section
in the direction of the flow is to be provided upstream from the flow sensor. Its dimensions
should be at least 5x DN.
Installation notes
Mounting of immersion sleeve and The valve is equipped with two fully-wired temperature sensors.
temperature sensor • T2: This sensor is installed in the thermal energy meter.
• T1: This sensor has to be installed on site ahead of the consumer (valve in the return line;
recommended) or after the consumer (valve in the supply line).
Note
The cables between valve unit and temperature sensors may not be shortened or extended.
Split installation The valve-actuator combination may be mounted separately from the flow sensor. The
direction of flow of both components must be observed.
General notes
Minimum differential pressure (pressure The minimum required differential pressure (pressure drop through the valve) for achieving
drop) the desired volumetric flow V'max can be calculated with the aid of the theoretical Kvs value
(see type overview) and the below-mentioned formula. The calculated value is dependent on
the required maximum volumetric flow V'max. Higher differential pressures are compensated
for automatically by the valve.
Formula
Example (DN 25 with the desired maximum flow rate = 50% V'nom)
General notes
Behaviour in case of sensor failure In case of a flow sensor error, the Energy Valve will switch from either power or flow control
to position control (Delta-T manger will be deactivated).
Once the error disappears, the Energy Valve will switch back to the normal control setting
(Delta-T manager activated)
