FLOW CONTROL
POSIFLOW

POSIFLOW proportional valves can be used in practically all applications in which the flow of a liquid or gas needs to be controlled. Since a single proportional valve replaces two or three conventional valves connected in parallel (NO / NC) to obtain low, medium or high flow rates, it is extremely cost and space saving. The core is guided by two rider rings so that the valve has low friction and high dynamic properties. An electronic control unit which is directly fitted onto the POSIFLOW increases its range of application even further. The integrated potentiometer is used to adjust minimum current, maximum current and frequency. A current ramp which can be altered by a potentiometer can also be connected. Thus slow changes in flow can be obtained in spite of sudden changes in the set-point. In case of set-points < 200 mV (<0.4 / 4.4 mA), the piloting current is completely switched off, so that the valve is without current (tightly closed function).
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Closed

The core is guided down by two rider rings and the flow from port 2 to port 1 is released.

Half length

The core is guided up by two rider rings and the flow from port 2 to port 1 is released.

Open

The core is maintained in its central position: the flow between port 2 and port 1 is blocked, proportionaly to the command
