Conduit For many years, the use of rigid or liquid-tight conduit was the standard for running wires to field devices, such as safety shut-off valves, pressure switches, and flame safety devices. Rigid conduit is thin walled metal tubing that helps to protect wires from mechanical damage and some environmental factors. Liquid-tight conduit is flexible and Read More

Elektrogas VMRNA Automatic Vent Valve
Categories: Elektrogas, Industrial Solenoid Valves, Industrial Valves
Comments Off on Elektrogas VMRNA Automatic Vent Valve
The Elektrogas VMRNA is a normally-open vent valve for industrial combustion systems. Because the valve is open when de-energized, VMRNA can be thought of as the opposite of a safety shut-off valve (closed when de-energized). How they work A reverse-acting solenoid valve, VMRNA is normally open. That means you must apply power to close the Read More

FAQ: What’s an Air Valve?
Categories: Butterfly Valves, Elektrogas, Industrial Solenoid Valves, Industrial Valves
Comments Off on FAQ: What’s an Air Valve?
The term “air valve” can refer to several distinct pieces of equipment. Combustion requires heat, fuel, and oxygen, and we usually see oxygen provided as a component of ambient air (the air we breathe). The type and quantity of air valves on a system is determined by the application and the control scheme. We might Read More

FAQ: What Does an Actuator Do?
Categories: Butterfly Valves, Elektrogas, FAQs
Comments Off on FAQ: What Does an Actuator Do?
What does an actuator do? An actuator drives a valve, causing it to move toward the open or closed positions. Actuators are present in all automatic valves, and can take the form of a motor (servo, pneumatic, hydraulic, etc), a solenoid, or something else. With a manual valve, your hand is the actuator. Actuators operate Read More
