Flatprop EQP Proportional Valve from Norgren

A new miniature proportional valve offers manufacturers of acute, sub-acute, and emergency or ambulatory care ventilators the advantages of a small footprint, low energy consumption, a long operational lifetime, and high accuracy. The Flatprop EQP valve occupies the same space as the manufacturer’s previous valve of this type but can generate an oxygen flow more than 40% greater. Using just 2.5 W of power, it delivers 186 L of oxygen each minute at an inlet pressure of 30 psig. This low inlet pressure contributes to patient comfort. The valve’s frictionless operation ensures good accuracy and repeatability with minimal hysteresis. The device is validated to run reliably for more than 100 million cycles.
