The Bürkert solenoid valves with double coil and "Kick and Drop" electronics consume up to 80% less energy than conventional solutions. They are particularly suitable for valves that are always open, such as gas or mains water security valves, as well as battery-buffered drainage systems.

In fluidics, energy efficiency is driving development, alongside digitalization and networking. An example is valves with electromagnetic actuators, which are often used to switch fluids automatically. In order for the coils of the magnets to generate high pulling forces and yet require little energy, they are mostly controlled via electronics. The fluidics specialist Bürkert Fluid Control Systems has energy-saving solutions with double coil and so-called "Kick and Drop" electronics in its solenoid valve range. The valves consume up to 80 percent less energy than conventional solutions. The coil is first overexcited by a high current pulse to generate the high pulling force required to open the valve. After a few milliseconds, the electronics integrated in the encapsulated coil switch to an energy-saving holding operation. The technology is particularly suitable for permanently open valves, such as gas or mains water safety valves, as well as for battery-buffered drainage systems.

Extended maintenance intervals, longer lifespan

Due to the low power consumption, the maximum self-heating of the valve is also lower, which reduces deposits and calcification and significantly increases the lifespan. In addition, the valves impress with their quiet operation and meet high demands for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The solenoid valves with the "Kick and Drop" coil system support noticeably reducing operating costs through their energy-saving function, extended maintenance intervals and a longer lifespan.
