VMR

Product catalog summary
Description
The VMR type valve is a fast-opening, single-stage solenoid valve that is normally closed and opens when energized. It is used for controlling air or gas in various gas-consuming appliances such as gas power burners and industrial kilns.
Features
The valves are made from aluminum alloy or brass, with connections ranging from DN 8 to DN 150. They have NBR-based rubber sealings for gas use and comply with EN161 standards. Special versions are available for aggressive gases, and they can be used in hazardous zones. The valves are designed for heavy-duty operation with flow rate adjustment and protective filters.
Functioning and Application
The VMR valve acts as a safety device, remaining closed when de-energized and opening rapidly when energized. It is used in industrial gas trains and firing systems, closing immediately if power is lost.
Technical Specifications
The valves support various connection types, voltage ratings, and operating pressures, with specific temperature ranges and rapid operation times. Materials include aluminum alloy, brass, and stainless steel.
Gas Flow Chart
A gas flow chart is provided for pressure drop calculations, with formulas for converting flow rates for different gases. It advises on valve selection based on pressure drops and flow velocities.
Ordering Information
Details on models, sizes, operating pressures, and supply voltages are provided, with options for proof-of-closure switches and additional gauges.
Design, Installation, and Servicing
Recommendations include compliance with specifications, correct mounting, and preventing foreign body entry. Installation must be by qualified technicians, with annual maintenance and valve replacement after 10 years.
Installation and Maintenance Guidelines
  • Install a gas filter upstream of the valve.
  • Protect the installation area from rain and water.
  • Conduct leak and functional tests post-installation.
  • Ensure free air circulation to prevent coil heating.
  • Perform annual maintenance, more frequently for aggressive gases.
  • Replace the valve after 10 years due to seal aging.
  • Installation must comply with regulations and be performed by qualified technicians.
  • Read product instructions carefully.
Standards and Approvals
  • Complies with European Directives and Technical Regulations of Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan.
  • Approved for Australia under certificate GMK 10624.
  • Certified for functional safety up to SIL3 according to IEC EN 61508.
  • Suitable for NFPA 86 applications.
  • Quality Management System certified to UNI EN ISO 9001.
Additional Information
  • Elektrogas is a brand of Elettromeccanica Delta S.p.A., Italy.
  • Specifications are subject to change without notice.

ELEKTROGAS – Technical Sheet EE161 - 1020 The VMR type valve is a fast 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 (or hot-pressed brass for OTN versions), with a wide range for inlet/outlet connections from DN 8 (1/4”) up to DN 150 (6”). Sealings are made of NBR-based rubber certified for use with gas (EN 549). Suitable for use...

ELEKTROGAS – Technical Sheet EE161 - 1020 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 which forces on the disc, increasing the closing function and 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 and service instructions). If the power supply is shut off, the...

ELEKTROGAS - Technical Sheet EE161 - 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...
