The ASCO Series 327C, also known as 8327C, is the next generation line of 3/2-way direct-acting solenoid valves requiring zero minimum operating pressure. Its balanced poppet construction permits high flows at minimum power levels, making it ideal for power plants, refineries, and chemical processing facilities. The valve also incorporates features that combine reliability and durability to increase operational efficiency and improve process certainty. The 3/2-way direct-acting solenoid valves are ideal for process valve piloting applications.
Features
Features:
- High flow piloting with no minimum operating pressure required
- Balanced poppet construction for high flow at minimum power levels
