Low Power
ICO3 Valves
The Low Power ICO3S range of direct
acting solenoid valves provide a low
power option for high-flow instrument
change over applications. With a nominal
steady state power consumption of
1.0W, the Low Power ICO3S exhibits a
67% reduction in steady-state power
consumption when compared to the
standard ICO3S, while retaining identical
flow and safety integrity level due to an
uncompromized 11 lb (5 kg) spring-force
and associated high force/friction ratio.
Unlike many other Low Power valves, the Maxseal
Low Power ICO3S does not achieve reduced
energy consumption though a weakened return
spring or internal piloting. Instead, the valve
uses an integrated PWM driver to regulate
the power delivered to the coil. The benefit
of this approach is that internally the valve is
in all ways identical to a standard ICO3S.
The Low Power ICO3S has been developed for
applications where power supply is at a premium,
such as remote shale gas installations. Often
such installations are renewable, generator
or battery powered, and as such, a power
consumption of just 1.0W per valve makes the
Low Power ICO3S the solenoid valve of choice,
particularly where safety is paramount.
