The Belimo EV125+NRX-E is a 2-way 1-1/4" pressure independent characterized control valve (PI-CCV) with integrated thermal energy metering, rated 28.5 GPM nominal flow, driven by a non fail-safe NRX-E actuator. It combines a characterized control valve, an ultrasonic flow sensor, supply and return temperature sensors and a communicating actuator in one assembly, so a single device controls flow, measures delivered energy and reports coil performance over BACnet, Modbus or MP-Bus.

Common Applications
- Air handling unit coils
- Computer room air conditioning units, where power control holds output as supply water temperature rises
- Plate heat exchangers separating primary and secondary circuits
- Branch and riser flow and delta T control on distribution to a floor or zone
- Applications requiring measured delivered energy, not just valve position
- Low Delta T remediation, where coil performance must be proven rather than assumed
These are documented Belimo Energy Valve application families, not a manufacturer recommendation for this specific model. This valve is an EV4-generation product, on which design flow (V'max) is adjustable across 25-100% of its 28.5 GPM nominal flow, giving a selectable range of 7.12 to 28.5 GPM. Any application below is suitable only where the required design flow falls inside that range.

Key Features
Measures delivered energy
An ultrasonic flow sensor plus supply and return temperature sensors compute actual thermal energy through the coil, so the valve reports BTU delivered rather than inferred position.
Pressure independent control
The characterized control valve holds the commanded flow across the stated differential pressure range, so balancing valves and repeat commissioning are not required.
Manages Delta T
Belimo Delta T Manager logic limits flow when the coil is not producing useful temperature difference, addressing Low Delta T Syndrome and reducing pumping energy.
Native BACnet, Modbus and MP-Bus
Communication is integral to the actuator: BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP, Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU and MP-Bus are supported directly, with no separate protocol gateway.
