Product Information

Full details

This Burkert 2/2 way solenoid valve (type 6281) is designed for automated control of liquid and gaseous media. It is ideal for applications requiring reliable flow control within specified pressure and temperature ranges. A key benefit is its durable brass construction and NBR sealing for general media compatibility. A caveat to note is that it requires a small differential pressure to operate and a DIN connector is not included.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum media temperature this valve can handle?

The valve is designed to handle media temperatures up to 80 °C (176 °F).

Does this valve come with a connector?

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

What is the minimum pressure required for the valve to operate?

The valve is indirectly operated and requires a minimum differential pressure of approximately 0.2 bar (3 psi) to open.

What type of media can be used with this valve?

It is suitable for neutral liquids and gases. The NBR seals are generally compatible with water, air, and many oils, but not aggressive chemicals.

How do I determine the flow rate?

The Kv-value is 8.5 m³/h. This can be used to calculate flow rate at a given pressure drop (dp) using the formula: Flow = Kv * sqrt(dp).

What is the thread size of the connections?

The valve features G 3/4 inch threads.

Can this valve be used in a vacuum system?

No, this valve requires a minimum positive differential pressure to operate, making it unsuitable for vacuum applications where negative pressure is present.

Troubleshooting

Valve does not open when energized

Check if the coil is receiving 230 V AC. Ensure the minimum differential pressure of 0.2 bar is present across the valve. Inspect the orifice for blockages.

Valve leaks when closed

Verify that the system pressure is within the operating range (0.2-16 bar). Check for debris caught in the sealing area. Ensure the NBR seals are not degraded or damaged.

Intermittent operation

Confirm a stable 230 V AC supply to the coil. Ensure consistent differential pressure. Check for any system vibrations that might be affecting valve function.

Coil overheats

Ensure the valve is operating within its specified pressure and temperature limits. An overheated coil may indicate the valve is stuck partially open or closed, or a faulty coil.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable brass construction for longevity.
  • Suitable for a wide range of pressures (0.2-16 bar).
  • NBR sealing offers good chemical resistance.
  • Standard G 3/4 inch threads for easy installation.
  • Normally closed function ensures safety in case of power loss.

Cons

  • Requires a minimum differential pressure to operate.
  • DIN connector is not included and must be sourced separately.
  • Maximum media temperature is limited to 80 °C.
  • NBR sealing may not be suitable for all aggressive chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the valve is installed in the correct flow direction, indicated by an arrow on the valve body.
  2. Connect the G 3/4 inch threaded ports to your system using appropriate sealing methods.
  3. Wire the 230 V AC coil using a compatible DIN connector (not supplied). Ensure electrical connections are secure and comply with safety standards.
  4. Verify that the system's differential pressure meets the minimum requirement for the valve to operate.

Compatibility:

  • Media: Suitable for neutral liquids and gases. The NBR seals are compatible with water, air, and many oils, but not aggressive chemicals or solvents. Check compatibility for specific media.
  • Temperature: Operates reliably with media temperatures up to 80 °C (176 °F).
  • Pressure: Compatible with system pressures from 0.2 bar to 16 bar.
  • Voltage: Requires a 230 V AC power supply for the coil.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the valve for leaks or external damage.
  • If performance degrades, check for obstructions in the valve orifice or low differential pressure.
  • Cleaning should be done externally with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasives that could damage the housing or seals.
  • Ensure the electrical connection remains dry and free from corrosion.
