Solenoid valves for Industrial Oxygen
Industrial Oxygen Solenoid Valves – Safe & Reliable Solutions
Oxygen itself is not flammable, but it significantly enhances combustion by reducing ignition temperatures and increasing both the speed and intensity of burning. Higher oxygen concentrations lower ignition points and elevate combustion temperatures, potentially leading to explosive conditions.
To ensure the safe handling of industrial oxygen, all internal components that come into contact with oxygen such as the valve body, core tube, armature assembly, and internal seals must be meticulously cleaned and degreased to eliminate any combustible contaminants.
The Importance of Oxygen-Clean Solenoid Valves Standard solenoid valves often contain machining oils, greases, and other lubricants from the manufacturing process. While these residues are acceptable in most applications, their presence in oxygen systems presents a serious ignition risk. Therefore, complete degreasing is essential to prevent hazardous combustion events.
At Solenoid Valve World, we specialise in providing a range of fully degreased solenoid valves designed for clean oxygen environments, ensuring safety and reliability in oxygen service applications.
24-Hour In-House Oxygen-Clean Degreasing Service
For solenoid valves that can be fully disassembled, we offer a 24-hour in-house oxygen-clean degreasing service to ensure optimal safety and performance in oxygen applications.
Our Process:
• Each valve is disassembled, cleaned, dried, and reassembled in a controlled clean area environment.
• All handling is conducted by trained operators wearing clean room grade, non-powdered nitrile gloves to prevent contamination.
• The degreased valves are individually sealed, labelled, and packaged for shipment to maintain cleanliness.
Service Limitations:
• Not available for oxygen applications exceeding 10 Bar.
• Not applicable for internal piston or coaxial valve designs, which must be factory-ordered pre-cleaned for oxygen service.
Advanced Degreasing Technology for Maximum Safety
We utilise a stainless steel manual hot water parts washer to submerge solenoid valve components in a highly concentrated alkaline cleaning solution.
Key Features of Our Cleaning Process:
• Heated to +40°C, ensuring deep penetration and thorough removal of contaminants.
• Effectively emulsifies, suspends, and removes heavy oils, greases, and metalworking lubricants.
• Leaves no film or residue, making surfaces clean enough for plating, painting, or welding.
• Includes a passivating inhibitor to temporarily prevent oxidation.
• Eco-friendly alternative to vapour degreasers and ozone-depleting cleaning systems.
When used at a 35% concentration with water heated to +40°C, our cleaning agent eliminates odours and efficiently cleans a variety of metals, including steel, stainless steel, chrome, nickel, copper, brass, bronze, and iron. It is also compatible with aluminium when used according to specified guidelines.
This service is limited to solenoid valves that can be fully disassembled, cleaned, reassembled, checked, and bagged to ensure complete degreasing.
At Solenoid Valve World, we are committed to providing high-quality, safe, and clean solenoid valves for industrial oxygen applications. Contact us today to learn more about our degreasing services and product offerings.
