Emerson is enhancing the ASCO Series 372C solenoid valve with new Intrinsically Safe and Manual Reset construction options. The valve has been designed with direct-acting, high-flow technology that provides improved flow-to-power ratios, making it suitable for high-demand industries such as power plants, refineries, and chemical processing facilities
The ASCO Series 327C features a balanced popper construction for high-flow efficiency and can operate in demanding environments, with temperatures ranging from -60 to 90°C. The valve’s unique two-layer dynamic seal technology decreases friction and ensures striction resistance.
New to the Series 327C are the Intrinsically Safe and Manual Reset versions for quicker response times and greater reliability. The Intrinsically Safe model removes the need for an electronic booster, allowing more consistent partial-stroke testing and faster response times.
Anne Sophie Kedad, director of marketing, process and sustainability, Emerson, said, “Facilities in demanding industries like power and chemical processing need valves that offer long-term performance with minimal maintenance. With the Series 327C, we are not only providing superior valve performance but also meeting the industry’s growing need for intrinsically safe solutions capable of performing critical operations with minimal downtime and lower maintenance costs. This new IS construction enables our customers to access a much more simple design as there is no electronic booster to operate the solenoid valve.”
The ASCO Series 327C solenoid valve delivers a globally approved solution, lessening supply chain complexity for industrial users and simplifying valve specifications. Its features, such as a unique electrical test connection, help facilitate field commissioning and prevent moisture ingress during storage, adding value to OEMs and end users.
