New Low-Power Solenoid Valve Technology Changes the Game for Manufacturers, Assemblers, Engineers: New White Paper Details How
FLORHAM PARK, NEW JERSEY – December 6, 2010 – Process plants worldwide often place considerable reliance on low-power solenoid valves. They are used as pilot valves to open and close larger ball or butterfly valves, or on control valves (installed between positioner and actuator) for fail-safe air release if there’s a loss of power or air. They work by pressurizing or depressurizing associated actuators.
A new white paper from ASCO Numatics, “How New Low-Power Solenoid Valve Technology Changes the Game,” details how a new generation of even lower-power valves is now changing the rules of the power consumption game. These products are of interest to designers working for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and valve assemblers, as well as for end-user engineers – anyone who specifies solenoid valves for projects in refining, upstream oil and gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and life sciences, food and beverage, and power. The white paper is available free to download at http://www.ascovalve.com.
The white paper taps the expertise of manufacturers at the forefront of low-power solenoid valve technology. It shows how innovation is offering new possibilities – and challenges – via topics such as integrated solutions, clogging and other reliability issues, usefulness in point-to-point and bus networks, other cost savings, remote applications, and relevant industry standards. Finally, it suggests which characteristics buyers should seek out in selecting the newest – and most consistently dependable – low-power valve technologies.
“Choosing low-power solenoid valves for process industry applications presents several challenges. Designers and users must carefully consider such issues as orifice size and clogging potential, pressure rating and other physical characteristics, bus compatibility, backup power needs, and relevant industry standards before selecting the right valve for the given process industry task,” said white paper authors Fabio Okada, Jack Haller, and Manny Arceo – all of ASCO.

ASCO Light Weight Miniature Solenoid Valve Introduced with Extended Life and Higher Flow
FLORHAM PARK, NEW JERSEY, USA, March 2, 2010 — ASCO Numatics, the world’s leading manufacturer of comprehensive fluid automation, flow control, and pneumatics solutions, has introduced the ASCO 411 Series miniature solenoid valve that offers up to twice the life of competing products plus higher flow rate performance. The new valve is ideal for applications in pharmaceutical, medical, analytical, and instrumentation products.
“Now, original equipment manufacturers (OEM) can receive the benefits of longer life, smaller size, lighter weight, higher flow, and lower power consumption — all in one miniature solenoid valve,” said Robert W. Kemple, Jr., Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing – Americas, ASCO Numatics. “The 411 Series dramatically reduces the design tradeoffs and compromises engineers must make in applying valves to their products.”
The 411 Series’ unique plunger design significantly reduces wear on the poppet and is resistant to internal elastomer swelling that can disrupt performance. The new valve has been tested to exceed 500 million cycles in normal operating conditions, making it the longest-lived, most reliable product of its kind on the market.
ASCO has increased the valve’s flow rate by 12% to 15% over previous models, and the maximum operating pressure differential has been improved. “These factors will enable engineers to design products with greater operating speeds, higher pressures, and smaller volumes,” said Kemple.
The new valve family incorporates a smaller, lighter weight plastic body that achieves a 12% to 15% overall weight reduction when compared to stainless steel and brass-bodied valves. This makes the 411 Series a good choice for miniaturized and portable medical devices and pharmaceutical products. Lower power consumption means the valve also is attractive for use in battery-powered applications. In addition, it is the only miniature solenoid valve that is fully compliant with RoHS regulations.
“The 411 Series is assembled and tested in a specially built Class 100 cleanroom that is dedicated to miniature solenoid valve production,” Kemple said. “Our valve’s exceptional reliability and its flexibility to address a wide range of specifications and operating characteristics provide the OEM with the widest variety of design options.”
The 411 Series can be purchased from ASCO distributors or directly from the company. Many of the valve’s configurations are available through the ASCO Today 24-hour or ASCO 5-day shipping programs.

ASCO Introduces Condensate Drain Valve Assemblies
FLORHAM PARK, NEW JERSEY, USA, March 1, 2007 – ASCO, the world’s leading manufacturer of solenoid valves, today introduced a comprehensive line of condensate drain valve assemblies. The assemblies are designed specifically for use in compressed air systems where drainage of moisture is critical.
“Clean, dry, reliable compressed air is essential in today’s high-throughput manufacturing environments,” said Nicholas Buccheri, vice president, marketing, ASCO. “ASCO’s new condensate drain valve assemblies represent a significant improvement over ball valves. Our proven technology provides cycle after cycle of dependable performance, drives down maintenance costs, and ensures minimal system downtime.”
ASCO is offering two types of condensate drain valve assemblies to meet the requirements of
virtually any compressor system application. Air-operated models incorporate a straight-through design with fewer components. This provides superior sealing and non-clog operation for lower cost and minimal maintenance. Solenoid-operated versions offer exceptional value, compact size, and longer life in high-temperature, high-humidity applications.
“Built with ASCO’s robust, high-quality electronics and renowned reliability, these condensate drain valve assemblies are ideal for compressed air systems used in manufacturing plants, automotive service stations and body shops, and transportation service center applications,” said Buccheri. “Smaller sizes can be installed in mobile compressed air systems where portability is essential.”
Condensate drain valves are used to remove water that develops in compressed air systems from changes in air temperature during the compression cycle. The condensate accumulates in pneumatic system receiver tanks, dryers, separators, and pre-filters. Failure to properly drain the condensate will result in air leakage, improper system operation, and additional maintenance.
Most valve assemblies with standard timer range, elastomer, and voltage are available for quick shipping as part of ASCO’s 5Day program.
In addition, customers can easily design ASCO’s condensate drain valve assemblies to meet their specific application with the company’s new electronic product configurator. Working online, a user can build a catalog number of a condensate drain valve unit. A CDV catalog can also be downloaded. The CDV series product configurator is available on ASCO’s website at www.ascovalve.com/CDVConfigurator.
