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 IMI 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.
