Danfoss AB-QM DN 65 — pressure-independent balancing and control valve (PICV) with a flange connection and a temperature-sensor port. A single AB-QM valve combines three functions in one body: an automatic flow limiter that holds the set flow constant regardless of pressure fluctuations elsewhere in the system, a control valve (operated by a Danfoss thermal or modulating actuator on the Danfoss standard connection), and a manual shut-off. Presetting fixes the maximum flow so the branch is inherently balanced — no separate manual balancing valve or commissioning flow-measurement is required. Grey iron (EN-GJL-250) body, PN 16, 20 m³/h nominal flow, up to 600 KPa max differential, stroke 15 mm, media temperature -10 °C to 120 °C, supplied temperature-sensor port. OEM P/N 003Z0963.

Danfoss AB-QM PICV for DN 65 heating or cooling circuits. Size the valve by the branch design flow (20 m³/h nominal flow at 100% presetting here) and confirm the connection type (flange) and pressure class (PN 16) match the pipework. The valve is driven by a matching Danfoss actuator fitted to the Danfoss standard actuator connection (ordered separately).
