This type of device is suitable for high/low control of combustion air in industrial gas burners. Features The valves are made of aluminum alloy die-cast, with a wide range for inlet/outlet connections from DN 20 up to DN 80. Pipe connections meet group 2, according to EN161 requirements. Suitable for use with cold combustion air (not for safety purposes). Provided with two flow adjustments: minimum and maximum flow rate, for high/low operation. Suitable for heavy duty cycle operation and for continuous service (100% ED). The whole range can be provided in Ex-proof execution, for use in Zones 2 and 22, according to 94/9/EC Directive (ATEX). The valve is supplied without an internal filter, because in many applications the air is very dirty and it should clog the filter in short time. It is provided with a special dust cover able to protect mechanical moving parts. Provided with G1/4 pressure gauge on two sides in the inlet chamber, to connect manometers, pressure switches or other equipments. Flanged models are provided with gauges also in the outlet chamber. The coils are provided with terminal box or with ISO 4400 plug (optional). Both systems are provided with suitable cable gland to avoid water and dirty contamination. All components are designed to withstand any mechanical, chemical and thermal condition occurring during typical service. Effective impregnation and surface treatments have been used to improve mechanical sturdiness, sealing and resistance to corrosion of the components. Valves are 100% tested by computerized testing machineries and are fully warranted. WARNING This control must be installed in compliance with the rules in force. 2-10  ELEKTROGAS – Technical Sheet EE164 - 05/14 Functioning and application The VRA type valve is a fast opening/closing solenoid valve. The VLA type is a slow opening an fast closing solenoid valve. The VTA type is a slow opening/closing solenoid valve. Both Min./Max. can be set from 0 to100%. When not energized the spring works on the disc keeping the minimum passage of air. When powering the coil the valve opens, moving the disc to the maximum open position. When power is switched off the valve moves to the minimum position. Min. Flow Max. Flow Fig.1 Figure 2 shows an example of installation.

The diameter must be chosen according to the min. flow rate required. The approximate formula to calculate the flow rate is the following: p1 Vmin = 0.024 ⋅ d2 ρ where: 3 Vmin = min. flow rate [Nm /h] d = diameter of bypass bore [mm] 3 ρ = density [Kg/m ] p1 = relative inlet pressure [mbar] 6-10  ELEKTROGAS – Technical Sheet EE164 - 05/14 When the flow read on the diagram is referred to operating pressure instead of standard conditions, the pressure drop ∆p read on the diagram must be multiplied for the factor (1+ relative pressure in bar). Example: 3 In the VRA62 2” solenoid valve with 70 Nm /h of airflow the pressure drop is ∆p = 6 mbar. 3 If we consider that 70 m /h is the flow at 200 mbar of inlet pressure, then the pressure drop to be consider is: ∆p = 6x(1+0,2) = 7,2 mbar Normally, pressure drop and flow rate for the valves are read from the air flow diagram. However, the valves can also be chosen in accordance with the characteristic ”Kvs value” which is shown in table…
