Data Sheet | Directional Control Valve VDH 30EC 4/3

Introduction The VDH 30 EC is designed for controlling the

direction of water ow.
The valves are designed for tap water, i.e. without
additives (EU-Directive 98/83/EC).

Function

The directional valves are pilot operated On/O
seat valves electrically activated by 4 coils.
The valves are designed according to the seat
valve principle where each individual seat valve is
controlled by its own pilot stage.

This valve type contains 4 seat valves altogether:
two inlet valves and two outlet valves. As each
seat valve is individually controlled by its own
pilot, this design oers many
dierent valve congurations to the end user.

Features

• Installable on all Cetop 3 blocks and inline
blocks

• Corrosion resistant surfaces

• Easy-to-clean surfaces

Versions The valve housing comes in standard version

in stainless steel AISI 304 (W. No. 1.4301) or
ISI 316 (W. No. 1.4401)

Temperature

Storage temperature:

• -40°C to +70°C [ -40 to 158 °F] – provided
that the valve is drained of uid and stored
”plugged”

Operation on (clean) water:

• Fluid temperature and ambient temperature:
+3°C to +50°C [37 to 122 °F]

Antifreeze Protection

If a system requires antifreeze protection, Danfoss
recommends Dowcall N or Chillsafe mono propyl­ene glycol from the Dow Chemical Company
and Arco Chemical Company, respectively. Both
antifreezes are biologically degradable and must
be used together with demineralized water.

• The seat valve design ensures minimum
leakage

• High degree of enclosure, IP67

• Many valve congurations available

The valve is available as a Normally Close
valve (NC) or in a combination of Normally
Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC

Operation on water containing antifreeze:

• Fluid temperature and ambient temperature:

-30°C 1) to +50°C [-22 to 122 °F]

1)

please see paragraph on antifreeze protection

Mixing ratio must be:

• min. 30% antifreeze and 70% demine­ ralized water providing frost protection to

–13°C [9 °F] and preventing biolm in the
system.

• max. 50% antifreeze and 50% demine­ ralized water due to increased viscosity,
providing frost protection to –30°C [-22 °].
