Danfoss MBC 5000 Motorized Ball Valve | 2-Way, 1/2" to 2", 0-16 bar, 24V/230V, IP54 Specs

Danfoss MBC 5000 motorized ball valve specifications. 2-way modulating or on/off control, 1/2" to 2" sizes, 0-16 bar, 24V/230V actuator, IP54. For HVAC and industrial flow control.

Product Overview

The Danfoss MBC 5000​ is a motorized ball valve​ designed for precise control of water, glycol mixtures, and other neutral media in HVAC and industrial applications. This series combines a 2-way brass ball valve​ with an electric rotary actuator, available in both modulating (0-10V/4-20mA) and on/off (2/3-point) control. Valves are available in sizes from 1/2" to 2", with pressure ratings up to 16 bar, and actuators rated to IP54. The "MBC 5000" designation covers a range of actuator/valve combinations for flexible flow control solutions.

Technical Specifications

Note: Specifications are generalized for the MBC 5000 series. The exact parameters (Kvs, running time, auxiliary switches) depend on the specific actuator model (AMV 110, AMV 120, etc.) and valve size combination. Always refer to the specific sub-model data sheet.

Key Features

• Ball Valve Design:​ Provides tight shut-off (bubble-tight) and low pressure drop.

• Modulating or On/Off:​ Available in precise modulating control or simple on/off operation.

• Spring Return Option (SR):​ Fail-safe operation (to open or closed) on power loss.

• High Flow Capacity (Kvs):​ Full-bore ball design minimizes flow resistance.

• Manual Override:​ Allows manual operation during setup or power failure.

• Compact Actuator:​ Direct mounting on ISO 5211 interface.

• Universal Mounting:​ Can be installed in any orientation.

• Wide Media Compatibility:​ Suitable for water, water/glycol mixtures, and other neutral fluids.

Typical Applications

• HVAC Systems:​ Zone control valves, coil control, mixing circuits in heating and cooling systems.

• District Heating Substations:​ Control valves for apartment stations.

• Solar Thermal Systems:​ Control of collector or storage circuits.

• Industrial Process Control:​ On/off or modulating control of process water or heat transfer fluid.

• Domestic Hot Water Recirculation:​ Control of recirculation pumps or loops.

Important Technical Notes

1. Model Selection is Critical:​ The "MBC 5000" is a series name. A complete order code must specify:

   • Valve size​ (e.g., DN20)

   • Actuator type​ (e.g., AMV 110 for on/off, AMV 120 for modulating)

   • Voltage​ (24V AC or 230V AC)

   • Control signal​ (for modulating: 0-10V or 4-20mA)

   • Spring return​ (SR) or non-spring return (NSR)

   • Options​ (auxiliary switches)

2. Spring Return (Fail-Safe):​ Choose SR for applications where the valve must move to a safe position (open or closed) upon power failure. This requires more power and has a slightly longer running time.

3. Sizing (Kvs):​ Select the valve size based on the required flow coefficient (Kvs) for your application to ensure proper control and avoid excessive pressure drop.

4. Installation:​ Install with sufficient straight pipe before and after the valve (typically 5 x DN). Ensure the pipeline is clean. The actuator should not be mounted below the valve body to prevent heat/condensation damage.

5. Modulating Control:​ For 0-10V/4-20mA control, ensure the controller and wiring are compatible. The actuator acts as a 1000Ω load for 0-10V signal.
