Description
Very energy efficient and robust 2 way JP Fluid Control electric ball valve to open or close pipes electrically. The valve has 1 inch threads (female thread BSPP) and a 24V DC actuator (IP54). This valve is suitable for liquids and gases (-10 to 110°C) and is often used in heating systems. A ball valve is less sensitive to dirt than a solenoid valve. It is however recommended to install a filter before the valve. The valve body is made of brass, the ball is chrome plated and the seal is PTFE (Teflon). The orifice is 19 mm, the Kv-value is 26 (433 l/min at dP=1 bar). The time for opening or closing is approximately 6 seconds.
Installation
The actuator has a 3-wire connection, and must be connected as shown in the diagram below. The actuator is supplied with a cable. The actuator has 3-point control. One wire is permanently connected to the minus. The other two wires are control wires to rotate the ball in both directions (connect to the plus). Please note: never connect the two control wires at the same time, this could damage the actuator! The actuators can be supplied with an integrated relay (On-Off control), in that case only one control wire is needed. The actuator includes limit switches, energy is only consumed during opening or closing of the valve.
Important
- Please observe the color coding of the wires. Never connect the two control wires at the same time, the actuator will be damaged.
- Suitable for clean gases and liquids, including cold & hot water.
- Make sure that the valve is suitable for the application and that the materials are suitable for the medium and the temperature.
Note: this valve is not suited for dry gases such as unlubricated compressed air.
