Overview

This document presents technical specifications and details for ODE S.r.l. solenoid valves designed specifically for steam applications. The valves are marketed under multiple languages (Italian, English, French, German) and have been manufactured since 1960. The company holds ISO 9001:2000 quality certification.

Valve Types and Configurations

• Valve types include 2-way Normally Closed (N.C.) and Normally Open (N.O.) configurations.
• Pipe connection sizes follow ISO 228/1 standards, ranging from G 1/4 to G 1.
• Valve bodies are made of brass with stainless steel AISI 303 armature tubes.
• Sealing materials include Ruby (R) and PTFE (T), suitable for temperature ranges from -40 °C to +180 °C.

Technical Specifications

• Flow coefficient (Kv) is provided in liters per minute (l/min) of water at 20 °C with a 1 bar pressure drop; conversion to m3/h is by multiplying Kv by 0.06.
• Maximum operating differential pressure (M.O.P.D.) varies by model and is specified in bar for both AC and DC operation.
• Viscosity limits are up to 50 cSt at 90 °E.
• Valve dimensions and weights are detailed for each model, with weights ranging approximately from 0.4 to 1.4 kg.

Electrical Characteristics

• Coils are available in class F (155 °C) and class H (180 °C) insulation ratings.
• Continuous duty operation (ED 100%) is supported.
• Maximum ambient temperature for operation is +60 °C for class F coils and +80 °C for class H coils.
• Nominal voltage tolerances: DC +10%/-5%, AC +10%/-15%.
• Standard voltages include DC 24 V and AC 24, 115, 230 V at 50/60 Hz.
• Electrical connections comply with EN 175301-803 standard connectors.
• Other voltages and certifications (CSA, UL, VDE) are available upon request.

Operational Notes and Recommendations

• Valves can be direct acting or pilot operated.
• For proper valve operation, the minimum steam temperature should not be below +60 °C.
• Coils are made from polyarylamide or polyphenylsulfide materials for durability.
• Technical and aesthetic modifications may be made by ODE without prior notice.

Dimensions and Identification

• Detailed dimensional drawings and measurements are provided for each valve size and type.
• Valve identification codes include information on valve type, number of ways, orifice size, sealing material, and pipe connection size.
