Functioning and
application The VMR type valve is a safety shutting device using auxiliary power supply.
When it is de-energized, the spring pushes on the seal disc, keeping the gas passage closed.
Now, the inlet chamber is under the gas line pressure, and it forces on the disc too, improving
the seal.
When the coil is powered the valve opens rapidly, against the strength of the spring and gas
pressure. The flow may be adjusted using the regulating screw on the top (see the Installation,
adjustment and servicing section).
If the power supply is shut off, the valve rapidly closes, interrupting the gas flow.

This kind of valve is normally installed as safety and regulating device in gas trains, for industrial
applications and gas firing systems.
Figure 2 shows an example of installation.
