DV15 directional control valves provide a new way to control the direction of flow on their vehicles with a very low pressure drop.“We designed the DV15 to help us create a more compact, efficient and cost-effective reversing fan drive solution. In the end, we have an exciting new product that quickly extends beyond fan drives and provides our customers with a new way to control the direction of flow on their vehicles with a very low pressure drop,” said Enzo Soncini, product development leader. “An additional benefit of the piloted design is that customers are not limited to piloting the DV15 using a solenoid valve, as they can also pilot with other valves, including sequence, relief and manual valves.”
The DV15-P5-24 can be used in place of several 2-position, 4-way CETOP D03 or D05 valves, reducing space and increasing the circuit efficiency. In stark contrast to CETOP valves that do not have environmentally robust coils, the 5-way piloted directional control valves can be piloted using one of Comatrol’s 08 size solenoid valves, allowing use of their Robust Coils which were designed to withstand extreme ambient temperatures when mounted in an engine compartment.
With a total length of 101 mm (4.0 in.), the DV15 comes in a much smaller and lighter design than CETOP alternatives, which is essential for fan drive systems near engine compartments where space is limited. The valve’s rated pressure of 230 bar (3335 psi) is a perfect match for these fan drive applications.
