Request a Spec Review →Yes. LibertyCES has documented High Performance Butterfly Valve in Data Centers applications, including AVCO BFV HP. The right model depends on the fluid, concentration, temperature, flow and duty cycle, so send James your process data for a free spec review before final selection.
Notes from the vendor documentation
Explicitly categorized for data centers by AVCO. The 60" Class 150 ceiling is the largest size from this vendor — campus-scale chilled-water headers rather than rack-level cooling. Double offset disc gives bi-directional bubble-tight shut-off, the real requirement for isolating a cooling loop without draining it.

60" at Class 150 is the largest size AVCO publishes — that's campus-scale chilled-water header territory, not rack-level cooling, and the double offset disc's bi-directional bubble-tight shut-off is what lets a data center isolate one cooling loop without draining the whole header.
