VQ400M-Series
PERFORMANCE
CHARACTERISTICS

Opening time

The first valve (V1) opens in less than 1 second.
The second valve (V2) can be either a fast opening
valve which opens in less than 1 second or a
characterized opening valve which is adjustable
from 1 up to 30 seconds, at rated capacity.
The opening characteristic is factory set at
approximately 6 seconds at the following
conditions:
•
measured at 80 % of rated capacity
•
30 mbar supply pressure
•
nominal voltage
•
20 ° C
•
2,5 mbar pressure drop
•
no step pressure
Due to the influence of ambient temperature (-15 ...
60 ° C) the adjusted opening time of 6 seconds
measured at 80% of adjusted flow rate can vary +/-
4 seconds.

Closing time

Less than 1 second for both valves.

Maximum working frequency

VQ400M is equipped for maximal working
frequency of one cycle per minute.

Duty cycle

Coils are suitable for permanent energizing.
