The following factors are important in making the right commercial and technical choice for Solenoid Valve Selection Criteria:

Contents
– Valve actuation– Number of ways– Switching function– Connection size– Working pressure– Process fluid– Fluid temperature– Ambient temperature– Solenoid power supply– Protection classification– Control fluid supply– Accessories and options– Safety requirements

Solenoid Valve Design

– Valve actuation

  • solenoid
  • pressure
  • proportional
  • motorised

– Number of ways

  • 2/2 Valve
  • 3/2 Valve

– Switching function

  • normally closed (NC)
  • normally open (NO)

– Connection size

  • flow rate
  • kv (flow coefficient) value
  • Type of connection
  • threaded
  • flanged
  • weld ends

– Working pressure

  • upstream of valve
  • downstream of valve
  • differential pressure
  • vacuum

– Process fluid

  • neutral to aggressive
  • gas to liquid
  • filtered to contaminated

– Fluid temperature

  • range from – to + °C

– Ambient temperature

  • range from – to + °C
  • ambient atmosphere

– Solenoid power supply

  • voltage
  • current
  • frequency

– Protection classification

  • IP
  • EEx

– Control fluid supply

  • control fluid
  • control pressure
  • temperature of control fluid from – to + °C
  • ambient temperature from – to + °C

– Accessories and options

– Safety requirements

  • TÜV approval/test certificates
  • specific certifications
