Solenoid valves
Type EVU
Normally Closed (NC)
EVU solenoid valves are designed to fit into compact refrigeration systems. Available in direct and servo operated versions, they can be applied in liquid, suction, and hot gas lines with fluorinated refrigerants.
EVU solenoid valves can be used in many different refrigeration systems and are specially designed for:
• Commercial refrigeration systems
• Refrigeration appliances
• Liquid coolers
• Ice cube machines
• Mobile refrigeration systems
• Heat pump systems
• Air conditioning units
EVU valves are available in straightway or angleway design. All valves are semi hermetically sealed and are not serviceable. The standard coil is available with 3-core cable connection and DIN plug.
EVU valve bodies and coils are ordered separately.

Direct operated
EVU 1 is direct operated. The valve opens directly for full flow when the armature (9) moves up into the magnetic field of the coil.
This means that the valve can operate at 0 bar differential pressure. Thus, inlet pressure and spring force act to close the valve when the coil is currentless.
Servo operated
EVU 2 to 8 are servo operated piston solenoid valves. The servo piston principle results in a fast operating and compact valve that is able to open against a high differential pressure. The valve closes rather soft, because the pilot system does not fully close before the main orifice has closed. This minimizes liquid hammer.
When the coil is currentless, the main orifice, seat plate (12) and pilot orifice (on the pilot plate (11)) are closed. The pilot orifice and main orifice are held closed by the armature spring force and the differential pressure between inlet and outlet sides.
When current is applied to the coil, the armature (9) is drawn up into the magnetic field and thus lifts the pilot plate (11) and opens for the pilot orifice so that the de-energising of the servo chamber (A) starts and the pressure is relieved to the level of the outlet side. As the inlet pressure that acts on the bottom of the piston (13) now is higher than the pressure in the servo chamber (A), the piston is moved upwards and lifts both the pilot plate (11) and the seat plate (12). When the seat plate is lifted, the main orifice opens for full flow.
Therefore a minimum differential pressure of 0.02 bar is necessary to open the valve and keep it open.
When the current to the coil is switched off, the spring (8) forces the armature (9) down towards the pilot plate (11). The pressure in the servo chamber (A) increases and the piston will no longer be able to hold the seat plate (12) in lifted position, by which the main orifice closes. The armature (9) continues its downwards movement until the pilot orifice on the pilot plate (11) is fully closed.
