The Caleffi manufacturer
Caleffi S.p.A. was founded in Italy in 1961 and stands as a premier European manufacturer of advanced hydronic components for heating, air conditioning, and domestic plumbing networks. Equipment is manufactured across 4 Italian factories under ISO 9001 certification.
Engineering Selection of Caleffi Pressure Reducing Valves
When specifying Caleffi pressure reducing valves for commercial HVAC and domestic water networks, flow velocity and downstream demand take precedence over nominal pipe diameter.
The direct-acting 5350 series features a pre-adjustment dial enabling precise pressure setting prior to system commissioning.
For high-capacity boiler feed lines and district heating sub-stations, the heavy-duty 5360 series provides flanged and threaded options engineered to absorb upstream hydraulic shock up to 25 bar.
Provide pipeline operating pressure, target downstream setpoint, and media temperature to calculate the optimum Kv flow coefficient.
Microbubble Separation Mechanics in DISCAL Deaerators
Entrained air and dissolved gases accelerate corrosion in steel radiators and induce cavitation damage on circulating pump impellers. Caleffi DISCAL 551 series deaerators utilize a dense stainless steel mesh coalescing element to force microbubbles out of fluid circulation.
As heating or cooling water traverses the expanded chamber, stream velocity decelerates, allowing tiny bubbles to attach to the wire mesh, coalesce, and rise into the automatic float air vent. The vent chamber exhausts accumulated gas continuously while handling glycol concentrations up to 50%.
Magnetic Magnetite Removal with DIRTMAG Technology
Closed hydronic loops suffer from progressive buildup of abrasive magnetite sludge generated by internal ferrous corrosion. Ferromagnetic particles deposit inside wet-rotor high-efficiency ECM pumps, causing mechanical friction and premature motor failure.
Caleffi DIRTMAG 5463 magnetic dirt separators capture both non-magnetic debris and microscopic iron oxides via an external dual neodymium magnet collar (2 × 0.3 Tesla).
Flushing captured sludge takes under a minute by removing the magnetic ring and opening the blowdown valve during full operational flow.
Legionella Thermal Disinfection with LEGIOMIX Systems
Commercial domestic hot water networks require rigorous temperature control to prevent the proliferation of Legionella pneumophila bacteria. The Caleffi LEGIOMIX 6000 series combines high-precision thermostatic mixing with an integrated programmable microcomputer controller.
During normal distribution hours, mixed water is regulated within ±1 °C of the setpoint with fast anti-scald thermal shut-off protection.
During programmed night hours, the controller executes automated thermal pasteurization cycles, raising circulation loop temperatures above 60 °C and logging validation telemetry via Modbus.
Safety Relief Valves and Automatic System Makeup
Caleffi 311 and 513 series spring-loaded diaphragm safety relief valves safeguard heating boilers and unvented hot water cylinders against catastrophic overpressure events.
Manufactured under European Directive PED 2014/68/EU (Category IV) and EN ISO 4126-1, each unit undergoes factory calibration and tamper-evident sealing.
To replenish system fluid losses while preventing backflow into potable supply lines, Caleffi ALIMATIC 553 pre-assembled filling units incorporate an adjustable pressure reducer, upstream strainer screen, verifiable check valve, and manual isolation tap.
Modular Plant Decoupling with SEPCOLL Manifolds
Variable flow distribution across multi-zone heating and cooling circuits often causes severe hydraulic interference with primary boiler and chiller flows. Caleffi SEPCOLL 559 series combines a low-loss hydraulic decoupling chamber with an integrated supply and return distribution manifold.
The mono-block design guarantees independent circuit operation, eliminates circulation pump conflicts, and provides built-in deaeration and sediment drainage ports. Factory-molded high-density polyurethane insulation shells eliminate standby thermal radiation losses in boiler mechanical rooms.
Dry-Run Pump Protection with Series 626 Flow Switches
Caleffi 626 series mechanical paddle flow switches provide vital operational interlocking for booster pumps, industrial chillers, and thermal cooling towers. As flow velocity declines below the threshold, the internal spring mechanism triggers a snap-action SPDT microswitch rated for 15 A.
Supplied with a set of modular stainless steel paddle blades, the switch adapts readily to pipe nominal diameters from 1" up to 8" (DN 25 to DN 200). An IP 54 weather-proof enclosure and reinforced brass body ensure long service life in moist mechanical plant environments.
Distinguishing Industrial Hydronics from Consumer Textile Brand
Italian engineering manufacturer Caleffi S.p.A. (operating commercially as Caleffi Hydronic Solutions with headquarters in Fontaneto d'Agogna, Novara) specializes exclusively in advanced hydronic valves, plumbing components, and HVAC engineering systems.
The corporation is completely separate from Caleffi S.p.A. (Caleffi Home, Viadana, Mantua), a manufacturer of household bed linen and duvets, as well as unrelated tableware brands. We supply genuine Caleffi hydronic equipment and replacement components manufactured in Italy.
Valve availability, replacement cartridge pricing, and delivery schedules are calculated specifically based on your HVAC plant or water network engineering parameters. Official distributorship is not claimed.
