The standard solenoid valve block of 1.4305 is used for stream switching up to 10 different streams. It
has rapid switching solenoid valves, which have a very long life time – tested over 500 million switch-
ing operations. Due to the small design the solenoid valve block can be installed in an 19“-rack directly
behind the analyzer.
The connections for the individual sample gases and the calibration gases are made by flange adapt-
ers, which have integrated sinter metal filters. In addition the sample gas inlet can be equipped with a
continuously bypass to minimize the total response time. The valve block has a common tubule which
is connected to the analyzer. The other side of the tubule has a blind flange. Alternatively at low con-
centrations this flange will be changed by a capillary for a very low split flow.
