Solenoid Valves for wiper systems at sea

Improving visibility at sea with Danfoss

21 November 2008
Designed exclusively for marine use, Exalto wipers are regarded as among the best on the market – and part of the reason for their success is the quality of material and parts.

So in 2005 Exalto asked Danfoss to supply a new solenoid valve for the wiper’s water pump system. And since then, Danfoss valves have been helping keep ship windows in pristine condition.

Combating salt spray and harsh conditions

Featuring stainless steel shafts and self-lubricating bronze bearings, the wipers are renowned for excellent performance in the rough conditions often experienced at sea. But no wiper system is complete without an efficient water pump system – and no water pump system is complete without a reliable solenoid valve. So when Exalto sought a new valve supplier, Danfoss came onboard.

Exalto wiper systems consist of wiper motors, blades, pantograph arms, and a wiper washing system. Since 2005, Danfoss solenoid valves have been part of all Exalto water pump systems. The valve functions as a sprinkler, pumping water from the wiper reservoir, a separate pump or from the fresh water supply onboard. At the touch of a switch, the valve sprays water directly onto the window to wash away salt spray, dirt and grime – keeping marine windows clean and clear.

Compact and easy to install, Danfoss solenoid valves are the perfect solution for applications where space is limited. And the valve coils are available in either 24 or 12 volt direct current versions for the marine industry, or as alternating current versions to suit a variety of applications in other industries.

Like all Danfoss products, the solenoid valves are manufactured to last, meeting stringent reliability and quality standards. And they’re tested to withstand extreme environmental conditions and heavy duty industrial processes.
