The Honeywell DU146-11/4A automatic bypass valve and differential pressure regulator controls the water flow in the heating circuit based on differential pressure. It ensures a minimum flow through the boiler and limits the circulation pressure
in the event of closure of other heating circuits.

The valve is installed if required by the boiler manufacturer or if a minimum flow must be maintained during boiler operation.

The use of automatic bypass valves is recommended in heating systems with a large number of thermostatic valves. When the thermostatic valves are open, the automatic bypass valve remains closed. However, as the thermostatic valves begin to close, the bypass valve opens to maintain the required water flow through the boiler.

The use of an automatic bypass valve reduces noise caused by water flow. It also helps reduce low-temperature corrosion of the boiler by increasing the temperature of the return water.
