The Elektrogas VMRNA is a normally-open vent valve for industrial combustion systems. Because the valve is open when de-energized, VMRNA can be thought of as the opposite of a safety shut-off valve (closed when de-energized). How they work A reverse-acting solenoid valve, VMRNA is normally open. That means you must apply power to close the Read More

FAQ: What’s an Air Valve?
The term “air valve” can refer to several distinct pieces of equipment. Combustion requires heat, fuel, and oxygen, and we usually see oxygen provided as a component of ambient air (the air we breathe). The type and quantity of air valves on a system is determined by the application and the control scheme. We might Read More
Elektrogas Solenoid Air Valves
Elektrogas VRA, VLA, and VTA are a series of solenoid actuated valves used to control cold combustion air. Thanks to their expert design, they’re capable of continuous service, and are ideal for on/off or high/low control of combustion air in industrial gas burners. Function Elektrogas air valves are normally closed. When powered, the valve opens Read More

FAQ What is a Safety Shut-off Valve?
Q: What is a safety shut off valve? A: A safety shut-off valve (SSOV) is a normally closed valve which opens when power is supplied. They are found in the main gas train as well as the burner (gas) train. In a combustion system, safety shut-off valves receive their power from the flame safety device Read More
Elektrogas VMM Double Solenoid Valve
Elektrogas VMM solenoid valves are safety devices used to stop the flow of gas in a combustion system. The VMM features two separate solenoid valves in one unit. The first valve is fast opening; when powered, the valve rapidly opens against the strength of the gas flow. When de-energized, the valve closes, pushing on a Read More
