P Series

(P020038F2D)
AGB pilot operated solenoid valves offer some of the highest flow rates in the industry with a small physical footprint. Designed to be compact for ease of installation and serviceability. The valves can easily be converted between normally closed and normally open operation with the addition of one external part without having to remove the valve from existing piping. The ability to convert the valves reduces the amount of inventory required to cover multiple applications.

A pilot-operated solenoid valve is a type of solenoid valve that uses a small pilot to control the opening and closing of a larger main orifice. This design allows for the handling of high-pressure or high-flow applications that might be challenging for direct-acting solenoid valves. Pilot-operated solenoid valves are commonly used in various industrial and commercial applications. Here are some key features and applications:
Key Features:
  1. Two-Stage Operation: A pilot-operated solenoid valve consists of two main components: the pilot valve and the main orifice. The pilot valve is a smaller valve that is controlled by the solenoid, and it, in turn, controls the operation of the larger main valve.
  2. High-Pressure Handling: Because of their design, pilot-operated solenoid valves are well-suited for applications with high-pressure differentials. The small pilot valve can operate with relatively low pressure, while the main valve can handle high-pressure fluids.
  3. High-Flow Capacity: These valves are capable of handling high flow rates, making them suitable for applications where a significant volume of fluid needs to be controlled.
  4. Remote Control: The solenoid coil can be located at a distance from the main valve, allowing for remote control of the valve, which is useful in automated systems.
  5. Quick Response: Pilot-operated solenoid valves can provide rapid response times when the solenoid is energized, allowing for precise control of fluid flow.
Applications:
  1. Industrial Process Control: Pilot-operated solenoid valves are commonly used in industrial processes, such as in the control of steam, gas, or liquids in manufacturing and chemical processing.
  2. Water Treatment: They are used in water treatment systems to control the flow of water, chemicals, and other fluids in applications like reverse osmosis, filtration, and disinfection.
  3. Oil and Gas Industry: These valves are employed in the oil and gas industry for controlling the flow of various fluids, including crude oil, natural gas, and process chemicals.
  4. Irrigation Systems: In agricultural and landscaping irrigation systems, pilot-operated solenoid valves are used for controlling the flow of water to different zones.
  5. HVAC Systems: They are used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems for functions like controlling refrigerants and chilled water flow.
  6. Power Generation: In power plants, these valves can be used for controlling steam flow, cooling water, and other fluids in various processes.
  7. Pharmaceuticals: They find application in pharmaceutical manufacturing for precise fluid control and batch processes.
The choice between a direct-acting solenoid valve and a pilot-operated solenoid valve depends on the specific requirements of the application, including pressure, flow rate, response time, and the size of the valve. Pilot-operated solenoid valves are favored when handling high-pressure or high-flow applications where precise control is essential.
