Solenoid valve
Type EV250BW
Servo operated with assist to open from 0 to 10 bar
for drinking water applications
EV250BW 10,12,18 & 22 with assisted lift can
operate from 0-10 bar dierential pressure. This
2/2-way valve program is especially to use in
applications with low dierential pressure, but
demanding moderate ow rates.
This valve type is designed with EPDM seal,
lead free dezincication resistant Eco brass for
drinking water applications.
• For water supply
• Houses and large apartments
• Kitchens and bathrooms
• Commercial buildings
• Industrial buildings
• Zoning
• Laundry
• Dishwashing
• Main inlet valves
• Machine and food processing
Features

Solenoid valve, Type EV250BW
2 Function
2.1 Function NC
Coil voltage disconnected (closed)
When the supply voltage to the coil (1) is disconnected, the valve plate (4) is pressed down against the pilot orice
(5) by the closing spring (3). The pressure across the diaphragm (6) is built up via the equalizing orice (8). The
diaphragm closes the main orice (7) as soon as the pressure across the diaphragm is equivalent to the inlet
pressure below, due to the larger diameter of the upper side and/or the tension of the closing spring (3). The valve
will be closed as long as the voltage to the coil is disconnected.
Coil voltage connected (open)
When voltage is applied to the coil, the armature (2) and the valve plate (4) are lifted clear of the pilot orice (5). If
there is a dierential pressure across the valve, the pressure above the diaphragm (6) drops as the pilot orice is
larger than the equalizing orice. Therefore the diaphragm is lifted clear of the main orice (7). If there is no
dierential pressure across the valve, the armature (2) draws the diaphragm (6) clear of the main orice (7) using the
assisted lift (9). The valve will be open for as long as there is voltage to the coil.
Figure 1: Function NC
2.2 Function, NO
Coil voltage disconnected (valve is open)
When the supply voltage to the coil (1) is disconnected, the valve plate (7) are lifted clear of the pilot orice (9) if
there is a dierential pressure across the valve. The pressure above the diaphragm (10) drops as the pilot orice is
larger than the equalizing orice. Therefor the diaphragm is lifted clear of the main orice (12). If there is no
dierential pressure across the valve, the opening spring (5) draws the diaphragm (10) clear of the main orice (12)
using the assisted lift (8). The valve will be open for as long as there is no voltage to the coil.
Coil voltage connected (valve is closed)
When the supply voltage to the coil (1) is connected, the armature (3) will compress the opening spring (5) and the
closing spring will push the spindle (4)/ valve plate down against the pilot orice (9). The pressure across the
diaphragm (10) is built up via the equalising orice (11). The diaphragm closes the main orice (12) as soon as the
pressure across the diaphragm is equivalent to the inlet pressure below, due to the larger diameter of the upper side
and / or the tension of the closing spring (2). The valve will be closed as long as coil voltage is connected
