How the Series 5000 Operator System Enables Higher Pressures and Increased Flow Rates for Industrial Fluid Applications

Solenoid valves are essential components for controlling the flow of fluids and gases in various industrial applications. However, not all solenoid valves are created equal. Some applications require higher pressures and increased flow rates than standard solenoid valves can handle. For these applications, a reliable, high-performance solenoid solution is needed.

That’s where the Series 5000 Operator System from Spartan Scientific comes in. The Series 5000 Operator System is a new product line that is designed to meet the demands of applications requiring higher pressures and increased flow rates. Featuring a range of orifice sizes from 0.6 to 4.0 mm, and available in both 2-way and 3-way configurations, the Series 5000 offers versatility to suit a wide range of industrial fluid applications. With options including DIN spaded or flying lead coils, and a future provision for a 12 mm connection option, the system provides flexibility and ease of integration into existing setups.

The Series 5000 Operator System is constructed with all stainless-steel tubes and multiple seal materials, making it durable and reliable in demanding environments. Its robust design ensures longevity and consistent performance, making it an ideal choice for critical applications across various industries.

But how does the Series 5000 Operator System achieve higher pressures and increased flow rates? The answer lies in its innovative design and engineering. The Series 5000 Operator System uses a unique solenoid coil that is specially designed to handle higher currents and voltages. This allows the coil to generate a stronger magnetic field that can overcome the higher forces and pressures exerted by the fluid or gas. The coil also has a low inductance, which means it can switch faster and more efficiently, resulting in lower heat generation and power consumption.

The Series 5000 Operator System also uses a specially designed plunger and tube assembly that is optimized for higher flow rates. The plunger has a larger diameter and a longer stroke than standard plungers, which allows it to open and close the valve more effectively. The tube has a larger inner diameter and a smoother surface than standard tubes, which reduces the friction and turbulence of the fluid or gas passing through. The combination of these features results in a higher flow coefficient (Cv) for the Series 5000 Operator System, which measures the flow capacity of the valve.

The table below compares the Cv values of the Series 5000 Operator System with some of the standard solenoid valves from Spartan Scientific.

Orifice Size (mm) Series 5000 Operator System Cv Standard Solenoid Valve Cv
0.6 0.04 0.02
1.0 0.12 0.06
1.5 0.25 0.12
2.0 0.45 0.22
2.5 0.75 0.36
3.0 1.10 0.53
4.0 1.90 0.95

As the table shows, the Series 5000 Operator System has significantly higher Cv values than the standard solenoid valves, indicating its superior flow capacity. For example, the Series 5000 Operator System with a 4.0 mm orifice size has a Cv value of 1.90, which is twice as high as the standard solenoid valve with the same orifice size.

The Series 5000 Operator System is not only capable of handling higher pressures and increased flow rates, but also offers other benefits such as lower noise levels, lower maintenance costs, and higher safety standards. The Series 5000 Operator System is compliant with the RoHS, REACH, and CE directives, and has a protection class of IP65, which means it is dust-tight and water-resistant.

The Series 5000 Operator System represents Spartan Scientific’s commitment to innovation and meeting the evolving needs of its customers. With its combination of high-pressure handling capabilities, increased flow rates, and versatile configurations, the Series 5000 Operator System delivers exceptional value and performance to its customers.
