Product Information

Full details

The Burkert 468758 is a 2/2 way solenoid valve designed for automated fluid control in industrial applications. It offers reliable shut-off functionality for liquids and gases, operating efficiently with a 120V AC coil. A key benefit is its robust brass housing and FKM sealing, suitable for moderate to high temperatures and pressures. However, it requires a small differential pressure to operate, meaning it's not suitable for systems with zero pressure difference.

FAQs

What is the main difference between this NC valve and an NO (Normally Open) valve?

A Normally Closed (NC) valve is shut when not powered and opens when energized. A Normally Open (NO) valve is open when not powered and closes when energized.

Does this valve come with a DIN connector?

No, the DIN connector for the electrical connection is not included with this valve and must be purchased separately.

What is the minimum operating pressure required?

This valve requires a minimum differential pressure of 0.2 bar (approximately 3 psi) to operate correctly.

What types of fluids can this valve handle?

It is suitable for neutral liquids and gases, such as water and air, provided they are within the specified temperature (-10 °C to 120 °C) and pressure (0.2 to 16 bar) limits. The FKM seals offer good compatibility.

Can I use this valve in a system with zero pressure difference?

No, this is an indirectly operated valve and requires a minimum differential pressure of 0.2 bar to function. It is not suitable for zero-pressure systems.

What is the Kv-value of this valve?

The Kv-value is 3.8 m³/h. For water at a differential pressure of 1 bar, this translates to a flow rate of approximately 63.35 liters per minute.

How do I determine if the coil needs replacement?

If the valve fails to actuate and power supply is confirmed, the coil may be faulty. Check for continuity and resistance values if specified by the manufacturer, or if it shows signs of overheating.

Troubleshooting

Valve does not open when energized.

Verify the 120V AC power supply is correctly connected and energized. Check for a minimum differential pressure across the valve (at least 0.2 bar). Ensure the coil is properly wired and functional. Inspect for internal blockages.

Valve does not close when de-energized.

Ensure power is completely removed from the coil. Check for debris preventing the valve seat from closing properly. Verify the differential pressure is not too high for the spring to overcome.

Leaking from valve body or connections.

Tighten NPT connections using appropriate sealant. Inspect FKM seals for damage or wear and replace if necessary. Ensure the valve is not subjected to pressures or temperatures exceeding its specifications.

Intermittent operation.

Check for unstable power supply voltage. Inspect electrical connections for corrosion or looseness. Ensure the differential pressure is within the operating range.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable brass construction for longevity.
  • FKM seals offer good chemical and thermal resistance.
  • Standard 1/2 inch NPT threads for easy installation.
  • Suitable for a broad operational pressure range.
  • Common 120V AC coil voltage simplifies integration.

Cons

  • Requires a minimum differential pressure to operate.
  • DIN connector for the coil is not included and must be sourced separately.
  • Indirect operation may not be suitable for all low-pressure or zero-pressure applications.
  • Brass is not ideal for highly corrosive media.
  • Limited to 120 °C (248 °F) maximum media temperature.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the power supply matches the 120V AC coil rating.
  2. Install the valve in the pipeline ensuring correct flow direction (marked on the valve body).
  3. Connect the 1/2 inch NPT threaded ends to your system using appropriate sealing tape or compound.
  4. Wire the 120V AC coil. Note: A DIN connector is required but not supplied; ensure you have compatible wiring.

Compatibility:

  • Media: Suitable for water, air, and other neutral fluids within temperature and pressure limits. Not recommended for highly abrasive or corrosive media due to brass housing.
  • Pressure: Operates effectively between 0.2 to 16 bar.
  • Temperature: Media temperature range is -10 °C to 120 °C (14 °F to 248 °F).
  • Voltage: Requires a stable 120V AC power source.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect for leaks or external damage.
  • Ensure electrical connections are clean and secure.
  • If the valve becomes sluggish or fails to operate, internal cleaning or service may be required (consult manufacturer documentation).
  • Avoid installing in environments with excessive dust or moisture unless properly protected.
