Maximize Reliability in Harsh Environments with Corrosion-Resistant EV Series
Corrosion, malfunctions, and costly downtime are always a concern when designing systems that will be exposed to harsh outdoor conditions. But what if you could specify a valve that you could trust to maintain top-tier performance while withstanding rain, humidity, salt spray, and extreme conditions? Clippard’s Corrosion-Resistant EV Series combines our innovative Spider Technology with rugged stainless steel construction to deliver unparalleled reliability in even the harshest conditions, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of environmental monitoring applications including water quality monitoring systems, air pollution analyzers, and atmospheric research equipment.
The Power of Spider Technology for Exceptional Durability
At the heart of the EV Series valve is Clippard's innovative Spider Technology, which sets the foundation for exceptional reliability and performance. This unique design incorporates a single moving part with just 0.007 inches of travel, a feature that minimizes wear and tear over time. The result is a valve capable of handling more than one billion cycles—ensuring that your system operates efficiently for years, even in demanding environments. For your critical systems, this translates to:
• Reduced maintenance
• Minimized downtime
• Uninterrupted data collection
• Increased equipment lifespan
Corrosion-Resistant Design with 430 Stainless Steel
One of the standout features of the Corrosion-Resistant EV line is the use of 430 stainless steel components. In applications where the valve will be used outdoors, even if protected from the elements, exposure to moisture, dust, and environmental contaminants can lead to corrosion in traditional valves. This line uses the same simple, efficient Spider Technology as Clippard's standard EV series but replaces all electroless nickel-plated steel components with stainless steel. This upgrade provides enhanced corrosion resistance, ensuring the valve performs reliably even in humid, coastal, or high-salinity environments.
Performance That Meets Your Demands
While the Corrosion-Resistant EV Series valve is engineered to be highly durable, that durability does not come at the cost of performance. These valves operate with a nominal power consumption of 1.2 watts, ensuring efficient energy use while maintaining fast response times between 5 to 10 milliseconds. This quick response time is crucial in environmental monitoring, where precise, immediate control of air or fluid flow is essential for accurate readings.
For instance, imagine an environmental monitoring system designed to measure water levels in streams or reservoirs, where a valve needs to pulse compressed air at regular intervals to displace water and trigger sensor readings. These valves need to be durable, energy-efficient, and resistant to outdoor elements like rain, humidity, and dust. They must also respond swiftly to ensure that each cycle of air release is accurately timed and controlled. Clippard’s Corrosion-Resistant EV Series can precisely control airflow to sensitive analyzers in air quality monitoring stations, ensure reliable operation of remote weather stations in extreme climates, and enable the development of compact, robust portable monitoring systems for field deployment.
