High-flow NAMUR valves for direct mounting to pneumatic actuators incorporate several design features to ensure maximum valve durability and a long life.
Valves maximise pressure ratings
Parker Fluid Control Division's 204 and 304 solenoid valve lines with tab coil offer a family of direct-acting solenoid valves for air and liquid (including light oil) applications.
The new line of solenoid valves features multiple-unit manifold assemblies for on/off control of water, soaps, detergents, chemical and compressed air service.
Each assembly has a wide variety of seal and disc materials, ensuring a standard valve to fit every car care need.
The valve line can be purchased fully assembled or as modular components.
For increased application flexibility, buyers can mix and match from a variety of available pressure vessels and coils.
The coils are epoxy-encapsulated to assure safety from environmental exposure.
The Car Care Solenoid Valve line has a wide range of two- and three-way normally open and normally closed valves, available in brass and stainless steel.
Additionally, four-way valves may be constructed in aluminium and manifolds in brass or stainless steel.
The valves' orifice and port sizes range from 0.125 to 2in.
Three- and four-way models can be used to provide pneumatic cylinder control of brushes, mitters and tire scrubbing assemblies.
Also, optional metering valves can dispense chemicals or allow slow closure to prevent water hammer effects.
