Direct operated proportional DC valve by Parker has explosion protection

The Parker D1FP*ED proportional DC valve, available from Wainbee Limited

Wainbee Limited supplies some of the most innovative equipment available to Canadian businesses. This distributor knows to partner with manufacturers that constantly aim to break new ground and develop up-to-the-minute solutions. This includes Parker, which counts servo proportional valves among its products – including the recently launched D1FP*ED proportional DC valve.

The highly dynamic D1FP*ED DC valve stands out among the competition for its explosion-proof construction, as well as its high flow and repeatability.

Well suited to harsh conditions

Available in size NG06/D03, the Parker D1FP*ED series of valves is well suited to hydraulic applications under harsh conditions – particularly tasks that require extreme position accuracy or precise control of pressure or velocity. The manufacturer recommends it highly for use in oil and gas, chemical processing, and other industries that demand very dynamic servo proportional valves with explosion protection.

Other features of this proportional DC valve include a robust design, flameproof enclosure of electronics, and an optional EtherCAT bus interface. Its construction includes a PE terminal connection, a connector cap, a screw-plug parametrizing interface, screwed cable glands, and screw plugs for unused screwed cable gland holes. The device complies with major safety standards, such as ATEX and IECEx.

The integral electronic valve driver blends all functions for optimal operation of the D1FP*ED. The driver’s superior dynamic makes the valve deployable within closed-loop control applications. Technical specifications of the device including the following:

• Weight of 9.3 kilograms;
• Unrestricted installation position;
• Sensitivity of less than 0.03 per cent;
• Hysteresis of less than 0.05 per cent;
• Ability to function in ambient temperatures from -20 to 35-60 degrees Celsius, depending on the maximum fluid temperature;
• MTTF_D value of 150 years;
• Maximum operating pressure of 420 bar for ports P, A, or B, or 35 bar for port T;
• Maximum wiring length of 50 metres; and
• Duty ratio of 100 per cent.
