13 Intended use control panel 

13.1 Intended purpose control panel 

The  tool  is  conceptualised  and  designed  exclusively  for  the 
purpose of use specified here. 

 

  

 

Scope of application: 

Primary  use  for  water  and  neutral,  non-adhesive 
liquids.  Also  suitable  for  air  and  neutral  non-
flammable gases. 

Maximum  operating  pressure  (inlet  pressure)  16 
bar. 

Outlet  pressure  infinitely  adjustable  from  1.5  to  6 
bar. 

Smallest possible inlet pressure 2.5 bar. 

Minimum  pressure  drop  (inlet  pressure/outlet 
pressure) 1 bar. 

Maximum media and ambient temperature 75°C. 

Assembly position as desired, preferable vertical. 

 

 

13.2 Intended purpose solenoid valve 

 

  

 

Scope of application: 

Solenoid  valves  for  liquid  and  gaseous  media, 
aggressive  or  neutral,  can  be  used  different 
temperature and pressure ranges 

Type 6213 is a 2/2 way solenoid valve with straight 
passage,  normally  closed,  with  a  permanently 
coupled  membrane  system.  It  operates  from  0  bar 
and can be used universally for liquids. A minimum 
pressure  differential  of  0.5  bar  is  required  for  the 
valve to fully open. 

 

 

13.3 Intended purpose flow meter 

 

  

 

Scope of application: 

The  flow  meter  is  used  for  the  volume 
measurement  of  transparent  liquid  and  gaseous 
flows  in  closed  pipelines.  Optionally  the  devices 
can be used for flow monitoring.
