Dynamic balancing is an innovative alternative to traditional hydronic balancing methods that use static balancing valves.

The question is now “Do you want to have control of your application – or do you want the application to have control over you?” The answer is easy.

The new variants of the Frese OPTIMA Compact PICV use the same patented, compact design technology that allows higher flow rates to be achieved through smaller dimensioned valves, with the latest additions accurately controlling flow up to 11,500 litres per hour with a maximum differential pressure of 400 kPa.

Frese continue to invest in product development by introducing a new generation of stainless steel CirCon and TemCon thermostatic valves for domestic hot water applications.
