Temperature Range:
Recommended operating temperature is determined by the material used for the
seals. No special precautions are required for applications within a temperature
range of 32°F to 180°F (0°C to 82°C).
For applications above 190°F (88°C), clearances can be affected by excessive
thermal expansion when the valve is installed in compact fabrications or
manifolds. Valve bodies have thicker cross-sections than tubing, but thermal
expansion can affect clearances in interconnecting piping sections.
This valve is NOT designed to be used under aseptic or near aseptic conditions
and temperatures.
If operating below 32°F (0°C):
•
Ensure that the control air has an appropriately low dew point.
•
Protect the valve stems from icing to ensure a long working life for the valve
stem seals.
Solenoid valves should not be used in the control module in room environments
below 32°F (0°C) and over 180°F (82°C), as their function cannot be guaranteed.
In those cases, install the solenoid valves in a separate solenoid cabinet.
