Product catalog summary
Description: The VML type valve is a slow opening, single-stage solenoid valve that is normally closed and opens when energized. It is used for controlling air or gas blocking and releasing in various gas-consuming appliances.
Features: Constructed from aluminum alloy die-cast, these valves offer inlet/outlet connections ranging from DN10 to DN80. They are suitable for air and non-aggressive gases, with special versions available for aggressive gases. Designed for heavy-duty cycles and continuous service, they include flow rate adjustments and a fine mesh filter for protection.
Functioning and Application: The valve functions as a safety shutting device using auxiliary power, opening slowly due to a hydraulic brake and closing rapidly when power is cut. It is typically used in gas trains for industrial applications.
Technical Specifications: The valves support various connection types and voltage ratings, suitable for ambient temperatures from -15°C to +60°C, with a maximum operating pressure of up to 6 bar and adjustable opening times.
Gas Flow Chart: The document includes a formula for converting air flow to other gases and instructions for calculating pressure drops and flow rates using the Kvs value.
Ordering Information: Valves are available in different sizes and pressure ratings, with options for threaded or flanged connections and various supply voltages.
Special Versions and Optionals: Special versions for aggressive gases are available, with options for proof-of-closure switches, additional gauges, and increased enclosure class. Ex-proof versions are available for hazardous zones.
Design, Installation, and Servicing: Recommendations include ensuring system compatibility, proper mounting orientation, and regular maintenance. The valve should be replaced after 10 years due to seal aging.
Standards and Approvals: The product complies with essential European Directives and several EU directives, including the Gas Appliances Regulation, Pressure Equipment Directive, ATEX, Electromagnetic Compatibility, Low Voltage Directive, and RoHS II. It also complies with Technical Regulations of Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, and is approved for use in Australia. Valves meet IEC EN 61508 standards for functional safety, certified up to SIL3, and are suitable for NFPA 86 applications with Factory Mutual Approval.
Quality Management: The Quality Management System is certified according to UNI EN ISO 9001.
Company Information: Elektrogas is a brand of Elettromeccanica Delta S.p.A., located in Arcade, Italy. Contact information includes phone number +39 0422 874068 and website www.delta-elektrogas.com.
Additional Notes: The document contains general descriptions of technical options based on current specifications, with the company reserving the right to make changes without prior notice.

ELEKTROGAS – Technical Sheet EE162 - 1020 The VML type valve is a slow opening single-stage solenoid valve, normally closed (open when energized). This type of device is suitable for air or gas blocking and releasing controls, required in gas power burners, atmospheric gas boilers, industrial kilns and others gas consuming appliances. The valves are made of aluminum alloy die-cast, with a wide range for inlet/outlet connections from DN10 (3/8”) up to DN80 (3”). Sealings are made of NBR-based rubber certified for use with gas (EN 549). Suitable for use with air and non-aggressive gases included...

ELEKTROGAS – Technical Sheet EE162 - 1020 The VML 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 slowly because of the hydraulic brake, against the strength of the spring and gas pressure. The rapid stroke may be adjusted using the regulating screw on the top (see the installation and service instructions), to adjust the initial gas flow....

ELEKTROGAS - Technical Sheet EE162 - 1020 When the flow read on the diagram is referred to operating pressure instead of standard conditions, the pressure drop Ap read on the diagram must be multiplied for the factor: (1+ relative pressure in bar) Example: In the 2” solenoid valve with an air flow of 80 Nm3/h there is a pressure drop Ap = 5 mbar. If we consider that 80 m3/h is the flow at 200 mbar of inlet pressure, then the pressure drop to be consider is: Ap = 5x(1+0,2) = 6 mbar Normally, pressure drop and flow rate for the valves are read from the gas flow diagram. However, the valves can...
