New Range Of Coils Broadens The Usage Of Parker Solenoid Valves In Hazardous Environments

PR Log (Press Release) – Jul 27, 2009 – Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies, has launched new ATEX certified 37 mm electrical coils for use on its Lucifer range of stainless steel solenoid valves as well as the brass and aluminum X valves.  These coils broaden even further the usability of these valves especially in the oil and gas, chemical and pharmaceutical markets, in which environmental working conditions can be very severe.

These brand new products are ATEX and IECEX certified, and are dedicated to stainless steel 2/2, 3/2 valves as well as 4/2 & 5/2 way valves.  The “d mb” and “ia” ATEX certified products, meet T6 temperature classes, and the stainless steel fittings and the IP67 protection level, permit the new 37mm CPR range to meet customer’s needs and applications where ambient constraints are hard, aggressive and sometimes corrosive (e.g. explosive atmosphere, water, salt, temperature, etc …).

By using the ‘booster’ technology for the “ia” product (ref. 496565) the current consumption is reduced (20 - 15 mA , activation then holding) allowing usage in all markets where intrinsically safe electrical circuits are normal (IS barriers and remote I/O modules).

This new 37 mm CPR range (ref. 496555 and 496560) gives customers in the process market the opportunity to benefit from the features of the current successful 37 mm “d mb” classic range, with the same ’international innovative patented ‘ATEX flameproof plastic enclosure “d”’, resulting in reduced size and weight, attractive design, and reduced costs when compared with traditional cast iron solutions.

The international ATEX certification, IECEX allows the 37 mm CPR electrical coils to be used in all countries, without the need for any additional local certification.
