Overview

This document details the technical specifications, configurations, and ordering information for ODE S.r.l. solenoid valves designed for water and various industrial fluids. The valves range in size from G 1/8 to G 1/4 (ISO 228/1) and have been produced since 1960, emphasizing reliability and versatility.

Product Description

ODE solenoid valves are available in multiple body materials including brass, stainless steel, polysulphone, and plexiglas. Tubes are made from stainless steel or brass depending on the model. The valves support 2-way normally closed (N.C.) or normally open (N.O.) configurations, with options for inline or other mounting arrangements.

Technical Specifications

• Flow Factor (Kv): Measured in liters per minute (l/min) of water at 20 °C with a 1 bar pressure drop. Conversion to cubic meters per hour (m³/h) is done by multiplying Kv by 0.06.
• Maximum Operating Pressure Differential (M.O.P.D.): Defined per valve model, indicating the maximum pressure differential the valve can safely handle.
• Viscosity Limits: Maximum fluid viscosity specified in centistokes (cSt) and degrees Engler (°E).
• Electrical Characteristics: Coils are class F (155 °C) with copper wire insulation class H (180 °C), supporting continuous duty (ED 100%). Operating voltages include DC 24 V and AC 24, 115, 230 V at 50/60 Hz, with voltage tolerances of DC +10%/-5% and AC +10%/-15%. Connectors comply with EN 175301-803 standard. Additional certifications (CSA, UL, VDE) are available upon request.
• Seal Materials and Temperature Ranges: Various sealing materials are used to suit different applications:
  • NBR (Nitrile Rubber): -10°C to +90°C
  • Ruby: -40°C to +180°C
  • Silicone: +2°C to +100°C
  • PTFE: -40°C to +180°C
  • FKM (Fluoroelastomer): -10°C to +140°C

Fluid Compatibility

The valves are compatible with a broad range of fluids including combustible and inert gases, hydraulic oils, gas-oil, naphtha, syrup, steam (including low-pressure steam up to 140°C), water, alcohol, gasoline, chlorides, kerosene, and non-ketonic solvents.

Mounting and Dimensions

Nine mounting hole types (Type I to Type IX) are available to accommodate diverse installation needs. Dimensions and weights vary by model and are specified in millimeters and kilograms respectively, ensuring precise fit and application suitability.

Ordering Codes and Customization

Ordering instructions include detailed coding for customization options such as:

• Third way outlet diameters (1 mm, 1.5 mm, 3 mm) with specific code substitutions.
• Lower or lateral regulation adjustments (codes RI and RL).
• Special seals like Viton on the third way (code V).
• Manual operation option (code M).
• Moisture-proof coil with O-ring (code G).
• Certifications including TÜV-DVGW and others.

Customers are encouraged to consult ODE commercial offices for special connections, quantities, and certifications.

Valve Action Types

• Direct Action
• Indirect (Pilot) Action
• Mixed Action

These operational modes influence valve response and control characteristics.

Mechanical and Structural Features

• Welded stainless steel guide tube attached to the cover for compactness.
• Three-way valves feature a 2.5 mm third port with O-ring sealing integrated with the welded tube.
• Valve bodies primarily made of brass; guide tubes made of stainless steel.

Connection and Mounting Standards

• Pipe connections conform to ISO 228/1 standard (G 1/8 and G 1/4).
• Mounting options include subplate (base plate) and flange mounting.

Identification and Coding

Valve identification codes specify mechanical part type (e.g., 2-way N.C./N.O., 3-way), orifice size (in 10^-1 mm), pipe connection type, number of elements, and sealing material, facilitating precise ordering and specification.

Critical Parameters and Best Practices

• Ensure fluid viscosity and pressure do not exceed valve specifications to maintain performance and safety.
• Select sealing materials appropriate for operating temperature and fluid compatibility.
• Adhere strictly to electrical voltage tolerances and connector standards (EN 175301-803) for safety and reliability.
• Consult the manufacturer for custom configurations, certifications, and special requirements.

Notes and Disclaimers

ODE reserves the right to make technical and aesthetic modifications without prior notice. Users should verify current specifications before ordering.
