Danfoss offers an exceptionally wide range of high performance solenoid valves, available in direct-operated, servo-operated and assisted lift versions. An easy, economical way to control and regulate fluids and gases. Danfoss solenoid valve bodies and electrical coils are normally supplied separately and then combined, but the valves are also available as complete units if required.
Ensuring that a solenoid valve coil is working properly, or detecting a faulty one, is an important step in many repair or installation projects.

We offer a general B valve series with a high capacity and the A series is more economic and compact. Danfoss solenoid valves are assembled quickly and simply without tools, providing optimum product flexibility and availability. A coil can be replaced if needed without stopping or draining the system.
Our solenoid valve program includes valves for air, steam, oil, and gas, suiting a number of industrial applications that require high performance in these and other applications:
The tool is intended to make it easy for installers and end-users to specify the correct industrial solenoid valves for a range of standard applications.

The EV220BW is an indirect servo-operated 2/2-way solenoid valve designed for drinking water and it is available in NC or NO. Valve sealings are available in EPDM, and the valve body in ECO brass or stainless steel. Wetted materials in accordance with 4MSI, DVGW, KTW – W270, and the valve program has RISE, SINTEF, WRAS, ACS and PZH approvals as well for cold and hot water applications.
EV220W, indirect servo- operated solenoid valve. EV220W is a compact indirect servo- operated 2/2 way solenoid valves with connections from 3/8” to 2”, especially designed for use in drinking water with a WRAS approval as well as for cold and hot water applications.
The compact 2/2-way solenoid valve EV212B with an isolating diaphragm design ensures no fluid can enter the armature area meaning the valve can be used for aggressive fluids.
EV210B covers a wide range of direct-operated 2/2-way solenoid valves for universal use. EV210B is a real robust valve program with high performance and can be used in all kind of tough working conditions.
EV220BW 40-50 is an indirect servo-operated 2/2-way solenoid designed for drinking water and available in NC or NO. Valve sealings are available in EPDM, and the valve body is available in brass.

More than 90 percent of global trade is transported by sea. As a ship's cargo is unloaded and loaded, ballast water is pumped in and out to maintain the vessel's stability – this equates to around 12 billion tons every year.
Increased focus on the environmental impact from the Marine industry drives new exhaust gas emission restrictions and regulation. The new regulation forces vessel owners and shipbuilders to implement new technical solutions to ensure compliance with local, regional and global legislation.
This article explores the challenge of ballast water and the solutions required to comply with the new regulation.
Check coil supply: Is supply activated? If not – supply or fuse may be defect.
Use a magnetic detector. Lift coil slightly and note whether it offers resistance against lifting. Eventually use a permanent magnet. NOTE: Never remove a coil with voltage applied for more than 2 seconds – it may burn out.
Check to make sure the coil’s electrical requirements are the same as the installation supply.
Check coil data. If necessary, replace coil with correct version. Reduce differential pressure, e.g. by limiting inlet pressure.
Check valve body data and differential pressure. If necessary, replace valve body with correct version.
Replace valve.
Clean orifice with needle or similar (max diameter 0.5 mm). Blow clean with compressed air. If necessary, replace defective component(s).
Clean pilot hole with a pin or needle.
Check valve data, incl. differential pressure. Replace valve with correct version.
Clean diaphragm. If necessary, replace defective component(s).
Clean valve. If necessary, replace defective component(s).
First lift coil slightly and note whether it offers resistance against lifting.NOTE: Never remove a coil with voltage applied for more than 2 seconds – it may burn out
Check valve data.Check pressure and liquid flow.Check rest of installation. Replace valve with a more suitable alternative.
Check pressure and liquid flow. Replace defective component(s).
Check correct installation of valve (see instruction/datasheet).
Hum caused by AC frequency can be removed by changing to coil with rectifier.Inspect and clean inside armature and armature tube.Can also be dirt or armature or spring worn out / defect (Replace valve or parts).
See installation guide.Pipes very long and pipe diameter too small.
Check valve data. Check pressure and liquid flow.Check for back pressure.Check rest of installation.Replace valve with a more suitable alternative.
Check coil data. If necessary, change to correct coil type. Check wiring diagram and wiring. Check maximum voltage variation: Permissible voltage variation: +/- 10% for dual frequency; DC and NO applications +10% / -15% for AC on single frequency voltages.
Check coil data and differential pressure and ambience temperatures and media and check with coil and valve specifications.
Clean armature tube and armature. If necessary, replace defective component(s).
Clean diaphragm. If necessary, replace defective component(s) .
