In systems with contaminated media there is a risk of moving parts in a valve 
not working as intended. Dirt is the most common cause of function failure in 
solenoid valves. To help avoid this problem we suggest the tting of a lter on 
the upstream side of the valve.
Coil voltage and power
It is necessary to know which voltage (Volt a.c./d.c. nominel ± 10%) is available 
within an application to select the correct coil. The maximum permissible 
dierential pressure can also be increased by tting a more powerful coil.
The coil power depends on the type of coil (BA,BB,AC,AM etc.) 
Other environmental factors
In wet or very humid environments, coils with IP 67 enclosure classication must 
be used. 
Valve function
Most industrial systems operate with a de-energised closed valve (NC = normally 
closed). Our valve range also oers de-energised open valves (NO = normally 
open) for applications requiring this feature.
How to Choose
Water hammer
All piping systems with relatively high ow rates are susceptible to water ham-
mer when a valve is opened or closed. A damped solenoid valve ( eg. EV220B 
15-50) should be used if there is a risk of water hammer. After installation the 
valve can be adjusted for water hammer by changing a replaceable equalising 
orice. See "Spare parts"
