Comatrol is Introducing Nine New HSV High Pressure Solenoids

The new Comatrol HSV High Pressure Solenoid Valve portfolio continues to grow. Last year, the 10, 12 and 16 size poppet‐type designs were introduced to the market, along with 10 size 2‐Way spool valves. The result of these releases added fourteen new HSV solenoid valves to the Comatrol portfolio. At IFPE, Comatrol is launching nine new HSV valves and one new manual override option for these families.

To complement the HSVP10, HSVP12 and HSVP16 size poppet‐type for those higher flow, high pressure applications, the HSVP20 poppet design will be launched at IFPE, with a rated flow of 265 LPM [70 GPM]. As with the other HSVP poppet designs, 4 schematics are available: Normally Open, Normally Closed, Normally Open w/ Reverse Free Flow and Normally Closed w/ Reverse Free Flow.

The 10 size spool‐type (HSV10) valve line has also expanded and will be launched at IFPE. In addition to the already released 2‐position, 2‐way valves (HSV10‐22‐01 & HSV10‐22‐02), the portfolio has grown by 5 more valves: HSV10‐23‐01 and HSV10‐23‐02 which are 2‐position, 3‐way valves; HSV10‐24‐01 is a 2‐position, 4‐way valve; and HSV10‐34‐02 and HSV10‐34‐05 which are 3‐position, 4‐way valves. The key feature of all the HSV10 spool‐type valves is their market‐leading flow capacity, which in some cases is double the flow of their 210 bar counterpart. These valves were designed with high flow and low pressure drop to help minimize losses in the hydraulic circuit, thus conserving power and saving fuel on the vehicle.

All high pressure valves are tested and qualified to 1 million duty cycles at 350 bar (5075 psi) according to NFPA T2.6.1 standards. The complete HSV family will now consist of 23 valves, and will continue to grow in 2014/2015. To complement the new solenoid valves, a new manual override option will be released at IFPE, which will be available on both the high pressure (HSV) and standard pressure (SV) product lines. The new Push‐and‐Twist (PAT) design allows the operator to push and then twist the manual override into a detented position. This allows for emergency actuation of the solenoid valve, holding the valve in the shifted position without requiring electrical signal to the coil. Repeat the push then twist operation to release from the shifted position.
