SOLENOID VALVES

11

VALVES N.C. FOR REFRIGERATING SYSTEMS

APPLICATIONS
The valves illustrated herein are
designed for use with
refrigerant fluids CFC, HCFC
and HFC.

OPERATION
All valves are normally closed N.C.: when the coil is deenergised, there is no flow.

MATERIALS
The materials used for the main
parts of the valves are:
ST-UNI EN 12165 - CW 617 N
hot-forged brass for the main
body;
austenitic stainless steel AISI 305 for the enclosure in
which the plunger can move;
ferritic stainless steel - AISI
430 F with controlled
magnetic properties for the
plunger;
chloroprene rubber (CR) for
outer seal gaskets;
P.T.F.E. for seat gasket.

INSTALLATION
The valves can be installed in
all sections of a refrigerating
system, in compliance with the
limits and capacities indicated
in Table 1.
This table shows kv coefficient
as well as:
the minimum pressure
differential value, that is the
minimum difference between
inlet and outlet pressure at
which the solenoid valve
opens and stays opened;
the maximum pressure
differential value.
Before connecting the valve to
pipe it is advisable to make
sure that the line voltage
corresponds to the voltage
stamped on the coil and that

pipes are clean.

Valves with P.T.F.E. gaskets are
particularly sensitive to dirt.
Furthermore, flow direction
must correspond with the arrow
stamped on the main body of
the valve.
All valves can be mounted in
whatever position except with
the coil pointing downwards.
The mounting of valves with
solder connections should be
carried out with care, using a
low melting point solder and
always avoiding direct contact
between the torch flame and
the valve body, which could be
damaged and compromise the
proper functioning of the valve.
It is not necessary to
disassemble the valves with
solder connections.

COILS

MATERIALS
For the valves illustrated in this
handbook, three different coils
are used:
Coil Type HM2, only for A. C.
(catalogue number 9100)
Coil Type CM2, only for A. C.
(catalogue number 9110)
Coil Type HM3, only for D. C.
(catalogue number 9120)
Coils are class F in compliance
with IEC 85 standard;
construction is in compliance
with EN 60730-1 and
EN 60730-2-8 standards.
The windings are made with
copper wire, class H insulation
180 C, in compliance with
IEC 85 standard.
The outer casing is provided
with dielectric and waterproof
resins that assure a reinforced
insulation making the coils
suitable for all assemblies.
The terminals consist of two
Faston line connections plus
one Faston earthing connection
positioned so as to receive the
DIN 43650 junction box
connector. Protection against
electric contacts is class I.

Therefore, for safety purposes,

coils must be effectively
connected to an earthing
system. Rubber gaskets on the
upper and lower ends ensure
moisture protection of coils
(protection degree IP-65
EN 60529).
The coils are designed for
continuous use.
The solid construction of these
coils is suitable for heavy-duty
applications in refrigerant
systems.
CM2 coil type has a preassembled cable (length 1
meter).
The maximum ambient
temperature for all coils is 50 C.

manufactured according to Low
Voltage Directives EC 73/23,
EC 93/68 and to EMC
Directives EC 89/336, EC 92/31,
EC 93/68.

APPROVAL
HM2 and CM2 coils,
220/230V-50/60Hz and
240V-50/60Hz, are approved by
the leading European
registration bodies such as
VDE (Germany), IMQ (Italy),
SEV (Switzerland).
Consequently, they guarantee
maximum safety to both people
and facilities. Moreover, HM2

JUNCTION BOX
The junction box connector
represents an effective system
for the connection of the coil to
the mains, thus ensuring safety
also in the presence of high
humidity values.
With the junction box, feed
cable junctions are no longer
required. Furthermore, the
junction box (type 9150) can be
used in four different positions
according to assembly
requirements. The clamping
screw of the junction box is
type PG9 or PG11, which are
respectively suitable for cables
with an external diameter of
6 8 or 8 10 mm. Cables
sized 3 x 0,75 mm2 are to be

VALVES FOR DIFFERENT FLUIDS

APPLICATIONS

MATERIALS

The valves illustrated herein

are designed for use with
different fluids. They can be
used for applications as
specified in Table 1 where the
different fluids are indicated
with the following symbols
according to an already
established code:
W = Water
L = Air
B = Secondary coolants
(solutions of glycol and water)
O = Light oils (gas oil)

OPERATION
All valves are normally closed
N.C.: when the coil is deenergised there is no flow.

Connectors are not included

in the boxes and have to be
ordered separately.

22

1142/012

The materials used for the main

parts of the valves are:
ST-UNI EN 12165 - CW 617 N
hot-forged brass for the main
body;
austenitic stainless steel
AISI 305 for the enclosure in
which the plunger can move;
ferritic stainless steel AISI
430 F with controlled magnetic properties for the
plunger;
nitril rubber (NBR) for outer
seal gaskets;
fluorocarbon rubber (FPM)
for seat gaskets.
1522/03

INSTALLATION
Before connecting the valve to
pipework it is advisable to
make sure that the line voltage
corresponds to the voltage
stamped on the coil and that
pipings are clean. Furthermore,
flow direction must correspond
with the arrow stamped on the
valve body. All valves can be
installed in any position except
with the coil pointing downwards.

(1) Opening pressure differential:

min = the minimum pressure differential at which the valve is fully open.
max = Maximum Opening Pressure Differential at which a valve opens
(it corresponds to MOPD in ARI STANDARD 760-87).

 = volumic mass of the fluid at the considered

temperature [kg/dm3]

VISCOSITY
The values of maximum differential pressure
specified in Table 1 are suitable for fluids with
maximum cinematic viscosity of 12 cSt where
1cSt = 106 m2/sec.
If the cinematic viscosity of the fluid under consideration is more than 12 cSt it is necessary to
multiply the value of the maximum differential
pressure by the following reducing factors:

Viscosity

When the viscosity of the liquid is expressed as

dynamic viscosity, i.e. cP, where:
1cP = 103 N sec/m2
the corresponding value of cinematic viscosity
in cSt is obtained by the following relation:

 =


dove:
 = cinematic viscosity [cSt]
 = dynamic viscosity [cP]

Moreover, the fluid viscosity may remarkably vary

according to changes in temperature. Therefore,
if the temperature of the fluid does not ensure
viscosity values compatible with the correct operation of the valve, the valve may not open.
LIQUIDS CAPACITY
The following ratio applies:
Q = kv

p




where:
kv = kv factor of the valve [m3/h]
Q = capacity [m3/h]
p= pressure drop through the valve [bar];
 = volumic mass of the liquid [kg/dm3].
AIR CAPACITY
Table 2 provides the values of air capacity under
the following conditions
temperature at valve inlet = 20 C;
discharge pressure (absolute) = 1 bar;
kv factor of the valve under consideration = 1
m3/h.
The pressures upstream the valve specified in
the table are absolute values.

23

cal valve with kv = 1 working under the above

mentioned conditions.

EXAMPLE
Select the valve suitable for use with approximately 200 m3/h of air, assuming an absolute
pressure of 8 bars at valve inlet
( = 7 bars of relative pressure + 1 bar) and an
acceptable pressure drop across the valve of
1.5 bars. In the column of pressures upstream
the valve, the value 8 is shown; where this column intersects the horizontal column relating to
the pressure drop of 1.5, the value of 87 m3/h is
shown. This is the capacity value of a hypotheti-

200 / 87 = 2.29
This is the kv value required in the case under
consideration. In Table 1, select the valve with
the kv value nearest to 2.29, rounding off the
value and subsequently checking that all the
characteristics of the selected valve
(max. opening pressure differential, temperature,
connections, etc.) are suitable.
