Delta-Elektrogas VRA VLA VTA Solenoid Valves
Delta-Elektrogas VRA VLA VTA Solenoid Valves: The VRA/VLA/VTA types are normally closed solenoid valves for cold combustion air regulation (open when energized). When the coil is not energized the spring works on the disc, keeping the adjusted minimum passage of air. When powering the coil the valve opens, moving the disc to the maximum open position. This type of device is suitable for high/low control of combustion air in industrial gas burners.
2011 – Elektrogas range celebrates 30 years in the market, with a product portfolio that now includes control valves, filters, gas regulators, servomotors, and combustion controllers. Today – Elettromeccanica DELTA, with its brands Elektrogas and Deltapumps, is a proud manufacturer of safety and control products for gas firing systems and fuel oil appliances, successfully installed in more than 60 countries in the world.
Features
The valves are made of aluminum alloy die-cast, with a wide range of inlet/outlet connections
from DN 20 (3/4” )up to DN 80 (3”).
Pipe connections meet group 2, according to EN161 requirements.
Suitable for use with cold combustion air (not for safety shut-off).
Provided with two flow adjustments: minimum and maximum flow rate, for high/low operation.
Suitable for heavy-duty cycle operation and for continuous service (100% ED).
The whole range can be provided in Ex-proof execution, for use in Zones 2 and 22, according to
2014/34/EU Directive (ATEX).
The valve is supplied without an internal filter because in many applications the air is very dirty
and it should clog the filter in a short time. It is provided with a special dust cover able to protect
mechanical moving parts.
Provided with a 1/4” pressure gauge on two sides in the inlet chamber, to connect manometers,
pressure switches, or other equipment. Flanged models are provided with gauges also in the
outlet chamber.
The coils are provided with a terminal box or with an ISO 4400 plug (optional). Both systems are
provided with suitable cable glands to avoid water and dirt contamination.
All components are designed to withstand any mechanical, chemical, and thermal conditions
occurring during typical service. Effective impregnation and surface treatments have been used
to improve mechanical sturdiness, sealing, and resistance to corrosion of the components.
Valves are 100% tested by computerized testing machinery and are fully warranted.
Applications
The VRA-type valve is a fast opening/closing solenoid valve. The VLA type is a slow opening an fast-closing solenoid valve. The VTA type is a slow opening/closing solenoid valve.
Both Min./Max. can be set from 0 to 100%.
When not energized the spring works on the disc keeping the minimum passage of air. When powering the coil the valve opens, moving the disc to the maximum open position. When power is switched off the valve moves to the minimum position.
