Flexible and user-
friendly
Danfoss solenoid valve bodies and electrical
coils are normally supplied separately and
then combined together. They are assembled
quickly and simply without any tools. This
provides optimum product exibility and
availability. If a coil does need to be replaced
then it can be done without stopping or
draining any system.
The solenoid valves are also available as
assembled units if required.

This booklet has been compiled to help in the instal-
lation of compact and high performance solenoid
valves and in locating faults in systems with solenoid
valves.
The booklet also contains an overview of solenoid
valves with dimensions to help in sizing valves for new
installations and the modernisation of existing plant.
The compact range has small physical dimensions for
control of ow where space is limited.
The high performance range is a sturdy and universal
valve program for control of ow in industrial plants
and within heating and sanitary systems.

Choosing the correct
solenoid valve
Symbolise valves used in
a closed circuit system,
typically with low
dierential pressures.
Symbolise valves
used in an open sys-
tem. Used typically
for drinking water.
Dierential pressure
higher than 0,5 bar.
Note that this booklet describes only brass
solenoid valves.
For other types, please contact Danfoss.

If no code is stamped in the valve, the following
information will be of great help when ordering
Danfoss solenoid valves as replacements:
• Application (closed circuit, open
system or drain application)?
• Function (de-energised open or
closed)?
• End connection?
• Medium (water, oil, air, etc.)?
• kvvalue?
• Coil voltage?
• Alternating (ac) or direct current (dc)?

If the the coil label cannot be read, the valve can be identied from the letter/

Installation
Flow direction
Water hammer is a typical result of high liquid
velocity (high pressure and high ow velocity
through small pipe diameters).
There are several reasonable solutions to the
problem:
A: Reduce the pressure by installing a pressure
reduction valve ahead of the solenoid valve. If pos-
sible, increase the pipe diameter.
B: Damp the water hammer by installing a exible
hose or exible buer ahead of the solenoid valve.
C: Use a solenoid valve of the type EV220B 15-50.
The equalising orice can be replaced by a version
with smaller diameter. This gives a longer closing
time (see“Spare parts”and“Opening and closing
times”).
Water hammer
To be able to operate correctly, all solenoid valves
must be installed with the arrow cast on the body
pointing in the direction of ow.

Installation
Test pressure
Tightening up
Pipe The pipes on both sides of the valve must be
securely fastened.
When applying test pressure: All valves in the
system must be open. There are three ways of
doing this:
1. By applying voltage to the coil
2. By opening the valves manually(when the
manual override accessory is tted)
3. By connecting the Danfoss permanent mag-
net (see Tools, page 40)
Note that the manual opening unit is not supplied
as standard, but as an accessory for EV220B 15-50
valves (see page 31).
Remember to screw the opening unit back
(CLOCKWISE) before starting up the system, other-
wise the valve cannot close.
Always use counter-force when tightening up pipe
connections, i.e. use a spanner on both the valve
body as well as on the pipe connector (as shown).

Installation
Always ush out piping before installing a solenoid
valve. If there is dirt in the medium, a lter should
be installed ahead of the valve.

Installing the coil Danfoss recommends that the solenoid valve be in-
stalled with coil upwards. This minimises the risk of dirt
collecting in the armature tube.
If “clean”media is used, i.e. media containing no dirtpar-
ticles, the solenoid valve will operate when installed in
the orientation as shown below.
