Extremely
severe operating conditions prevailing on North Sea
offshore platforms, combined with high safety requirements
due to hazardous locations, require design features
not generally found in conventional solenoid valves.
The 316 stainless
steel range solenoid valves described here is the result
of several years cooperation between the North Sea offshore
industry, Haakon Ellingsen A/S and Parker Lucifer SA,
a world leader in the design and development of high
technology solenoid valves.
The valves
are manufactured against a severe Quality Assurance
and Materials traceability program and are supplied
with the corresponding certificates.
Used or specified
as actual control or fail-safe valves with either CENELEC
encapsulated increased safety or intrinsically safe
electrical parts, the valves offer today the ultimate
in quality, reliability and safety.
