ASCO Red Hat

Next Generation Solenoid Valves

ASCO introduces Red Hat Next Generation, a new series of solenoid valves that use electronic technology to better manage power consumption, reducing operating costs. These energy-efficient valves draw only 2 watts of power, as compared to conventional solenoids that draw as high as 17 watts. This savings of power usage lowers total cost of ownership up to 14% over the installed life of the valve. Three major advantages of these new type valves are 1) increased performance capability 2) lower power usage and 3) modular design. This combination provides customers energy efficient, off-the-shelf high-value solutions at an economical price allowing for a more versatile use of inventory and quicker deliveries. RHFS Flow Solutions has made a significant commitment to maintaining higher levels of ASCO solenoid valve inventory. "Our goal is to shorten lead times and improve customer service. We're happy to report that we're already seeing faster delivery to our customers' said Joe Nassar, VP Operations for RHFS. Our recent efforts to stock a larger variety of ASCO products for our Power and Industrial Market customers has helped customers meet the demands of fast-paced projects, making RHFS a more valuable supplier as well. The solenoid uses a power management circuit to provide for lower power consumption, enhanced pressure and flow ratings, and electrical surge suppression to both the solenoid and electronic controls. Red Hat Next Generation valves accept both AC and DC voltages without sacrificing flow or pressure specifications. In this way, DC solenoid performance has been increased by 150% to 500% from today's industry standards, making the valves DC characteristics equivalent to AC pressure and flow valves. This simplifies your control by eliminating the need for AC output cards, reduces wiring costs, and provides safer working environments for users operating on DC.
