New power management technology is rewriting industry standards for reliability and power consumption of
solenoid valve coils. The new technology solenoid valves accept both AC and DC voltage while improving performance. Available in 2-way, 3-way and 4-way, these solenoid valves are designed to handle a wide range of fluid control applications.
The enhanced valves are designed to be drop in replacements for existing valves. There is no change to functional attributes such as flow, pressure, ambient & fluid temperatures or physical attributes such as envelope size and face-to-face dimensions. If you're looking to just switch out a coil, enhanced coil kits are direct replacements for the old coil kits.
Here are the benefits to end customers:
Lower Power Consumption
- 1.0 watt (DC version) & 1.5 watts (AC/DC versions)
- Lowers energy cost up to 80% compared to standard solenoid valves
RoHS 2 Compliant
- Satisfies CE Directives 2002/95/EC and 2001/65/EU (RoHS 2) for the restriction of hazardous substances
Supervisory Current Compatible
- Suitable for systems employing supervisory currents not exceeding the following drop-out currents: 20mA (12-24V DC), 15mA (24-120V AC/DC) and 7mA (100-240V AC/DC)
- Also suitable with devices having leakage currents not exceeding the drop-out currents noted above.
Broad Voltage Ranges Reduce Inventory
- Available in 24-120V AC/DC, 100-240V AC/DC & 12-24V DC
- Covers hundreds of global voltage requirements
- Simplifies product selection and reduces complexity
- Lowers inventory cost by eliminating need to stock both AC & DC products
- Includes 125VDC battery (AC/DC versions) & 24VDC battery (DC version)
DC Performance Increased Up to 500% To Match AC Ratings
- Transition from AC to DC without sacrificing performance
- Eliminates the need for separate AC & DC output cards
- Simplifies control schemes
