Improved performance for intrinsically safe valves

The Atos R&D has specifically designed a new solenoid to enhance the overall performance of intrinsically safe valves.

In addition, the new solenoid is multi-certified ATEX, IECEx, EAC for surface group II 1G and mining group I M1 for operations up to zone 0, while CCC certification is in progress.

It will be initially introduced starting from DHWL8, improving hydraulic performance:

  • Pmax up to 350 bar, previously 250 bar
  • Qmax up to 25 l/min, previously 20 l/min


Consult technical table TEX050 for additional information.

The series production will be available from April 2023. The new solenoid will be progressively extended to the whole intrinsically safe range during 2023.
