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.

Solenoid valves, Type EVU

Features

• Compact construction with small dimensions, low weight for both valve and coil.
• Semi-hermetic construction. Metallic sealing between armature tube and valve body. Bimetal connections to the
brass housing benefits:
◦ High strength of joints and high vibration resistance
◦ Maximum external tightness within the whole temperature and pressure operation range
• Bimetal connections simple, fast soldering without the need of wet cloth or refrigration pliers.
• Direct and servo operated mini piston compact solenoid valve.
• Universal application for
◦ Liquid, Suction, and Hot gas applications
◦ Reduced power consumption
• Simple and fast mounting of coil, Clip clip - ON / OFF.
• Small encapsulated coils with long life time under extreme conditions.
• Large MOPD range - up to 36 bar.

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.

Please make sure that there is no spark, arc on the spade connection during the application. If coils are below IPx5,
they must be protected against ultraviolet, moisture and major impact, especially the connection of coils.

Always Install a fuse ahead of the coil: rated current: two times of rated current, time lag: medium, to avoid short
circuit.

The coil used in an area of not more than pollution degree 2.

Follow the installation guide to mount the coil correctly, and apply o-ring for sealing to prevent moisture
penetrating inside the coil.
