www.hpmag.co.uk HYDRAULICS & PNEUMATICS June 2022 19 Bürkert Fluid Control Systems manufacturers control and measuring systems for fluids and gases. The products have a wide variety of applications and are used by breweries and laboratories as well as in medical engineering and space technology. The company employs over 2200 people and has a comprehensive network of branches in 35 countries world-wide. Think BIG, or small. Fast, precise, elegant, servo-hydraulic control. BIG or small, get your next project running more quickly than you thought possible. One axis or fifty; position, velocity, force, or position-pressure/force, look to Delta RMC Motion Controllers and graphical RMCTools software to make complex motion easier, smoother, and more precise. RMC200 Standard (Up to 50-axis) RMC200 Lite (Up to 18-axis) RMC75 (1 to 2-axis) CCSLN.com 44(0)1926 485532 Distributor to quickly move the plunger, but just 15% to hold it in position. In contrast, a standard valve coil produces a continuous magnetic field to move the valve into position and hold it over time. As a result, Kick and Drop coils can minimise the overall energy demand by up to 80%. Improved sustainability Reducing solenoid valve energy use can also make a significant contribution to improved sustainability. Taking an installation of 8,000 solenoid valves, Kick and Drop technology can save 114MWh per year and a CO2 reduction of 830 tons, based on 485 g/KWh. Decreasing the continuous current requirement also extends the coil’s lifespan, reducing the total cost of ownership. For water applications, the Kick and Drop coils can also help to prevent the challenge of calcification, caused by hard water with high lime breakdown. Higher temperatures speed up the lime breakdown process, but below 60°C, the process is so slow that it doesn’t create a problem. The Kick and Drop coils only heat up to a maximum of 55°C, which removes the challenge. As the coils only heat up to this lower maximum temperature, this increases safety by reducing the risk of burns. Kick and Drop coils can be used in insulated systems or housings, and the low operating temperature also prevents electrical overheating, with testing according to EN 60730-2-8. The coils provide these advantages within a compact footprint, comparable to a standard coil, and they can also be used in close proximity to other electrical equipment as a result of noiseless EMC (electromagnetic) compliance. http://www.burkert.co.uk
