Solenoid valve, Type EV221BW
2 Functions
2.1 Functions NC
Coil voltage disconnected (closed)
When the supply voltage to the coil (8) is disconnected, the valve plate (3) is pressed down against the pilot orice
(6) by the armature spring (1). The pressure across the diaphragm (7) is built up via the equalizing orice (4). The
diaphragm closes the main orice (5) 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, the pilot orice (6) is opened. As the pilot orice is larger than the equalizing
orice (4), the pressure across the diaphragm (7) drops and therefore it is lifted clear of the main orice (5). The valve
is now open 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.
