RedHat Next Generation is the future of solenoid valve technology, designed and manufactured to providenew capabilities. The Next Generation of industrial solenoid valves provides lower operating cost, and represents an advancement in the performance, reliability, and ruggedness that you have come to expect from ASCO. RedHat Next Generation valves use electronics technology to manage power, providing a new standard ofoperation. The solenoid incorporates a power management circuit providing lower power consumption, enhanced pressure and flow ratings, and electrical surge suppression to both the solenoid and electronic controls. The new solenoid draws only 2 watts of power. A conventional solenoid with the same performance candraw as high as 17 watts of power. The savings in power usage over the installed life of the valve will lower the total cost of ownership up to 14%. The new technology accepts both AC and DC voltages without sacrificing flow or pressure specifications.DC performance has been increased by 150% to 500% from today’s industry standards, making the valves’ DC characteristics equivalent to AC pressure and flow values. This simplifies your control by eliminating the need for AC output cards, reduces wiring costs, and provides safer working environments for users operating on DC. RedHat Next Generation coils are offered in three voltageranges covering most electrical requirements – 100-240/AC or DC, 24-99/AC or DC, or 12-24/DC. Each coil has built-in electrical surge suppression that protects the coil from external voltage spikes and eliminates inductive voltage spikes associated with conventional solenoids. An optional solenoid is available for use in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations.ASCO RedHat Next Generation addresses many otheroperating characteristics that will further improve the life of your solenoid valves. These include a much lower temperature rise, and an increase in valve ambient temperature rating to 140ËšF/60ËšC. Because of our confidence in the rugged design of the RedHat Next Generation solenoids, ASCOis pleased to extend a 3-year warrantyon the coils.
