ELEKTROGAS – Technical Sheet EE163 - 11/11 The VMM type valve is a safety shutting device using auxiliary power supply. The first valve (A) is a fast opening safety solenoid valve. 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. If the power supply is shut off, the valve rapidly closes, interrupting the gas flow. Equally, the second valve (B)...

ELEKTROGAS – Technical Sheet EE163 - 11/11 When the flow read on the diagram is referred to operating pressure instead of standard conditions, the pressure drop ∆p read on the diagram must be multiplied for the factor: (1+ relative pressure in bar) Example: 3 In the 2” solenoid valve with an air flow of 60 Nm /h there is a pressure drop ∆p = 6 mbar. 3 If we consider that 60 m /h is the flow at 200 mbar of inlet pressure, then the pressure drop to be consider is: ∆p = 6x(1+0,2) = 7,2 mbar Normally, pressure drop and flow rate for the valves are read from the gas flow diagram. However, the valves...

ELEKTROGAS – Technical Sheet EE163 - 11/11 Installation, adjustment and servicing To assure a proper and safe operation, as well as a long life of the valve, the installation procedure and a periodical servicing are very important topics and the following instructions should be always fulfilled. IMPORTANT: before proceeding with the installation, ensure that all the features of your system comply with the specifications of the valve (gas type, operating pressure, flow rate, ambient temperature, electrical voltage, etc.). CAUTION Shut off the gas supply at the main manual shut-off valve and disconnect...

ELEKTROGAS – Technical Sheet EE163 - 11/11 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (IEC 730-1) Valve is provided with terminal box or standard plug for the electrical connections. To connect the valve do the following: Terminal box version: - Using a screwdriver remove the box cover. - Unscrew the gland-nut (7) and remove the retaining ring (9) and conical grommet (5). - Insert the cable in to the gland-nut, retaining ring, grommet and then into its housing in the box cover. - Connect power cables to the rectifier terminals (1) according to printed designation. - Pull the cable and screw back the box cover, make...
