Function

The solenoid valve VZWF–...–M22C is a forced 2/2-way valve
with solenoid coil.
The membrane of the valve is coupled with the magnetic core
of the coil. This allows the forced solenoid valve to switch
between input and output without pressure difference.
The solenoid valve VZWF–...–M22C is closed in the de-ener­
gised state (Normally Closed - NC).

Fig. 2

When current flows, the armature opens the pilot control hole in the valve seat
seal and lifts the membrane from the valve seal either directly or supported by
differential pressure of the medium pressure. If the power supply is cut off, the
pilot control hole is closed by spring force. The supply pressure affects the mem­
brane and supports the sealing of the membrane on the valve seat.

Application

Solenoid valves of the VZWF–...–M22C series are intended to be used for con­
trolling the flow of gaseous and liquid media in rigid piping systems.
The valve is suitable for vacuum operation with p

abs

 > 100 mbar.

 The product may only be used in its original state without unauthorized modific­

ations. Opening the valve body or dismantling the armature guiding tube is not
permitted.

 Take into consideration the operating conditions at the location of use. Provide

sufficient thermal circulation.

 Use the product only in perfect technical condition.
 Only use media in accordance with specification. Before using other media,

please contact our customer support.

 Operation with chemically unstable gases, abrasive media and hard materials is

not permitted.

 Use the solenoid valves only in the flow direction indicated.
 Wear suitable personal protective clothing, e.g. safety shoes and safety gloves.
 Comply with all applicable national and international regulations.
 Dispose of the product in an environmentally friendly manner. When doing this,

also take residual media into account (potential recycling of hazardous waste).

Installation

Note

Installation should only be conducted by qualified specialized personnel.
Avoid mechanical stresses, particularly on the solenoid coil and the armature
guiding tube.

Requirements

– The piping system is unpressurized, and no medium flows in it.
– The lines are clean.
– The lines ends are mounted.
– The power supply is switched off.

Note

For fault-free operation, the effective line cross section at the input end should
be at least as large as it is at the output end. Take proper account of the pipeline
cross sections, line lengths and elements that may reduce the flow rate (angle
sections etc.).

Clean valve

Residues of grease may be evident on the product due to the production process
used.
 Clean valve immediately before installation.
