Types of Gas Solenoid Valves
MGA Controls Ltd’s portfolio of products include those from Elektrogas. Elektrogas manufacture a range of gas solenoid valves that are specifically designed for natural gas applications such as blocking and releasing controls in gas burners, atmospheric gas boilers, industrial kilns and other gas-consuming applications. ASCO has a wide range of solenoid valves for gas, designed to control the flow of fuel gas. These valves are available in 2-way normally closed, manual reset, and 3-way diversion varieties. Bürkert also produce gas solenoids that are suitable for aggressive or neutral media and are applicable in various temperature and pressure ranges.
Common Gas Solenoid Valve Applications
A gas solenoid valve can be used in many applications, including commercial and residential devices. Commercial uses of gas solenoid valves generally include pneumatic machinery that uses gas pressure to move its parts and manufacturing facilities might use solenoid valves to control the movement of gases used in their manufacturing processes. Gas burners, atmospheric gas boilers and industrial kilns or ovens are also common commercial applications. Residential use often includes washing machines and dishwashers. The average working temperature of a gas solenoid can range from anything between -15 to 60°C. However, this is likely to depend on the material composition of the valve, so it may be best to contact MGA Controls to discuss this further.
