Delta-Elektrogas VML Safety Solenoid Valves

Safety in industrial combustion starts with reliable fuel control. The VML series functions as an automatic safety shut-off valve that remains closed when de-energized. Upon receiving power, the valve opens slowly—a feature that is critical for smooth burner ignition and preventing backfire or flame instability. The opening time can be precisely adjusted by the technician to match the specific requirements of the combustion system.

One of the primary advantages of the Delta-Elektrogas VML Safety Solenoid Valves is its fast-closing response, which occurs in less than one second during a power cut or safety interlock trigger. The valve body is constructed from high-quality die-cast aluminum, providing excellent mechanical strength while remaining lightweight. Inside, the NBR-based seals ensure a bubble-tight shut-off, preventing gas leaks into the combustion chamber. With its integrated fine-mesh filter and modular design—allowing for the attachment of pressure switches or visual indicators—this valve serves as a robust pillar for any Burner Management System (BMS).
