599 Series Technical Instructions Document No. 155-201 VF 599-10 May 28, 2020 3-Way Ball Valves Siemens Industry, Inc. Description The 599 Series 3-way Ball Valves are coupled with an OpenAir ™ actuator to provide three-way mixing or diverting flow control. The ball valves are 1/4-turn rotary control valves and are available in 1/2-inch to 2-inch line sizes. Features • ANSI 250 valve body rating. • 200 psi close-off with ANSI Class IV leakage for all line sizes and actuators. • Available with chrome-plated brass ball and brass stem or 316 stainless steel ball and stem. • Can be used as either a mixing or a diverting valve. • Blow-out proof stem withstands high pressure. • Universal mounting plate. • Actuator and plate can be rotated (90-degree increments). • Standoffs provide a thermal barrier between the actuator and the mounting plate. • Operating handle for manual operation. • All ball valve actuators include integral conduit adapters.

Application Ball valves can control hot or chilled water and up to 50% glycol solution in mixing applications for air handlers, convectors, fan coil units, unit conditioners, radiation, and reheat coils. Three-way ball valves can be piped for either mixing or diverting applications. See Figure 1 and Figure 2 for piping configurations for mixing and diverting applications, respectively. Figure 1. Mixing Application. Figure 2. Three-way Diverting Application. 599 Series 3-Way Ball Valves Technical Instructions Document Number 155-201 May 28, 2020 Siemens Industry, Inc. Page 5 Operation The parabolic shape of the control port (A – AB) flow optimizer orifice (Figure 3) provides a slowly opening valve. Equal movements of the valve stem, at any point of the flow range, change the existing flow an equal percentage regardless of the existing flow. The ball valve equal percentage flow characteristic (Figure 4) mirrors the flow characteristic of a coil, resulting in linear heat transfer. Figure 3. Ball Valve Flow Optimizer. Figure 4. Ball Valve Equal Percentage Flow Control. Mounting and Installation • Install the valve so that the flow follows the direction of the arrow cast on the valve body. NOTE: Note: Valves with body part numbers -103xx may be installed as diverting valves. • For added flexibility, the actuator mounting plate can be installed in any of the four (4) rotation angles relative to the valve body. See Figure 5. • For best performance, install the valve assembly with the actuator above the valve body. • The valve and actuator assembly can be installed in a horizontal pipe in any position between vertical and 90°. Do not install the valve assembly so that the actuator is below horizontal or upside-down. • The ball valve also can be installed vertically. • Allow sufficient space for servicing the valve and actuator. See Figure 6 for valve body dimensions and service envelope. Figure 5. Mounting Positions. Service Replace the valve or actuator if inoperable.
