Solenoid valve, Type EVR 2 - EVR 40
Functions
Function
EVR solenoid valves are designed on two dierent principles:
1.
Direct operation
2.
Servo operation
1. Direct operation (NC)
EVR 2 – EVR 3 are direct operated. The valves open directly for full ow when the armature (3) moves up into the
magnetic eld of the coil.
This means that the valves operate with a minimum dierential pressure of 0 bar. The seat plate is tted directly on
the armature (3) see Design and material.
Inlet pressure acts from above on the armature and the valve plate. Thus, the inlet pressure and spring force act to
close the valve when there is no current in the coil.
2. Servo operation (NC)
EVR 4 – EVR 22 are servo operated with a "oating" diaphragm (4) see Design and material. The pilot orice of
stainless steel is placed in the center of the diaphragm. The seat plate is tted directly to the armature (3) see Design
and material. When there is no current in the coil, the main orice and pilot orice are closed. The pilot orice and
main orice are held closed by the armature spring force and the dierential pressure between inlet and
outlet sides.
When current is applied to the coil, the armature is drawn up into the magnetic eld and opens the pilot orice. This
relieves the pressure above the diaphragm, i.e. the space above the diaphragm becomes connected to the outlet
side of the valve.
The dierential pressure between inlet and outlet sides then presses the diaphragm away from the main orice and
opens it for full ow. Therefore a certain minimum dierential pressure is necessary to open the valve and keep it
open. For EVR 4 – EVR 22 valves the minimum dierential pressure for safe operation is 0.03 bar.
When the current is switched o, the pilot orice is closed. Via the equalization holes in the diaphragm, the pressure
above the diaphragm rises to the same value as the inlet pressure and the diaphragm closes the main orice.
EVR 25, EVR 32 and EVR 40 are servo operated piston valves. The servo piston (16) see Design and material with
sealing face closes against the valve seat by means of the dierential pressure between inlet and outlet side of the
valve and the force of the compression spring. When the coil is switched on, the pilot orice opens. This relieves the
pressure on the piston spring side of the valve. The dierential pressure will then open the valve. The minimumdierential pressure for safe operation is 0.2 bar.
EVR (NO) has the opposite function to EVR (NC), i.e. it is open with de-energized coil. EVR (NO) is available with servo
operation only.
2.1. Bi-ow operation
Bi-ow operation with EVRC EVRC is a servo operated solenoid valve with a special diaphragm with built-in nonreturn valve. The valve is for use in liquid lines in refrigeration plants.
EVRC allows ow in both directions and can be used in liquid lines in refrigeration plants with hot gas or gas defrost.
During the refrigeration period EVRC works as a normal solenoid valve, while during defrost it allows the condensed
liquid to return to the liquid manifold.
During the defrosting period the coil for EVRC must be energized.
2.2. Manual stem operation for EVR 6 - EVR 25 NC
EVR 6 - EVR 25 NC are available with optional manual stem operation to manually force the NC valve open when the
coil is de-energized.
The protective cap should be removed and the manual stem (12) Design and material should be rotated until the
valve is fully open. It takes approx. 6 cycles from fully closed, to reach the fully open position.
After manual operation is completed, the valve should manually be closed again and the protective cap mounted.
NOTE:
Alternatively, all EVR NC and NO valves can be manually operated by removing the coil and force the valve open or
closed by using a solenoid valve tester (permanent magnet) code no. 018F0091.
