Solenoid valve, Types EV220BW and EV228BW
2 Functions
2.1 Function, NC
Coil voltage disconnected (closed)
When the voltage is disconnected, the valve plate (3) is pressed down against the pilot orice (4) by the armature
spring (2). The pressure across the diaphragm (5) is built up via the equalizing orice (7). The diaphragm closes the
main orice (6) as soon as the pressure across the diaphragm is equivalent to the inlet pressure. The valve will be
closed for as long as the voltage to the coil is disconnected.
Coil voltage connected (open)
When voltage is applied to the coil (1), the pilot orice (4) is opened. As the pilot orice is larger than the equalizing
orice (7), the pressure across the diaphragm (5) drops and therefore it is lifted clear of the main orice (6). The valve
is now open for unimpeded ow and will be open for as long as the minimum dierential pressure across the valve
is maintained, and for as long as there is voltage to the coil.

2.2 Function, NO
Coil voltage disconnected (open)
When the voltage to the coil (1) is disconnected, the pilot orice (4) is open. As the pilot orice is larger than the
equalizing orice (7), the pressure across the diaphragm (5) drops and therefore it is lifted clear of the main orice
(6). The valve will be open for as long as the minimum dierential pressure across the valve is maintained, and for as
long as the voltage to the coil is disconnected.

When (minus) is supplied to the left terminal pin and (plus) to the right (see gure 3), the pilot orice (4) is opened.
As the pilot orice is larger than the equalizing orice (7), the pressure across the diaphragm (5) drops and therefore
it is lifted clear of the main orice (6). The valve is now open for ow and will stay open as long as the minimum
dierential pressure across the valve is maintained, until the poles are switched back (see Figure 4: closed)

Switching poles
When (plus) is supplied to the left terminal pin and (minus) to the right (see gure 4), the valve plate is pressed
down against the pilot orice (4) by the armature spring (2). The pressure across the diaphragm (5) is built up via the
equalizing orice (7). The diaphragm closes the main orice (6) as soon as the pressure across the diaphragm is
equivalent to the inlet pressure. The valve will stay closed, until the poles are switched (see Figure 3: Open)
