TIR E-Chip™ Solenoid Valves

Reading Time: 4 minutes

In today’s fast-paced industrial landscape, businesses are constantly seeking ways to optimize their operations, reduce energy consumption, and improve the reliability of their equipment. Texas Industrial Remcor, a leading provider of innovative solutions, has developed a groundbreaking technology that addresses these challenges head-on: the TIR E-Chip™ solenoid valve.

What is the TIR E-Chip™?

The TIR E-Chip™ is a revolutionary technology that integrates a small interface electronic board into solenoid valves, optimizing power consumption, input voltage, and operating temperatures. By intelligently managing the current supplied to the valve, the E-Chip allows full current during the initial “pull-in” phase to open the valve, then reduces the amperage draw to around 1/3 of normal valve requirements to maintain the valve state. This targeted power optimization results in significant energy savings of up to 66% compared to standard solenoid valves. The reduced power consumption not only lowers energy costs but also leads to lower operating temperatures, extending the valve’s lifespan and minimizing the risk of heat-related failure modes.

The Benefits of TIR E-Chip™ Solenoid Valves

Unmatched Energy Savings

One of the most compelling advantages of TIR E-Chip™ solenoid valves is their ability to drastically reduce energy consumption. By optimizing power usage, the E-Chip can save up to 66% of the energy required by standard solenoid valves. These energy savings can translate into significant cost savings for businesses, especially those with extensive solenoid valve installations. The lower power requirements also enable more efficient system designs, such as more valves per control output, smaller power supplies, and enhanced battery life in remote applications.

Extended Valve Lifespan

Another key benefit of TIR E-Chip™ technology is its ability to extend the lifespan of solenoid valves. The reduced power consumption of E-Chip equipped valves results in lower operating temperatures, minimizing the risk of heat-related failure modes. High temperatures can accelerate the aging and degradation of elastomeric seals and insulation materials, leading to premature valve failure.By running at significantly cooler temperatures compared to standard valves, TIR E-Chip™ valves mitigate these issues. The reduction in heat generation slows component aging and enables reliable operation even in demanding industrial environments. This extended valve lifespan translates into reduced maintenance costs and increased uptime for businesses.

Seamless Integration and Scalability

TIR E-Chip™ solenoid valves are designed to seamlessly integrate with most existing control systems, making it easy for businesses to upgrade their valve technology without extensive modifications. The valves can be assembled in valve banks, allowing the energy savings to scale across a facility’s entire solenoid valve installation.The lower power requirements of E-Chip equipped valves also enable more efficient system designs. With more valves per control output, smaller power supplies, and enhanced battery life in remote applications, businesses can optimize their valve systems for maximum performance and cost-effectiveness.

Proven Performance Across Industries

The TIR E-Chip™ technology has been proven to deliver substantial benefits across a wide range of industries, including oil & gas, automotive, manufacturing, agriculture, and food processing. By reducing energy consumption, extending valve lifespan, and enabling reliable operation in demanding environments, TIR E-Chip™ valves offer a sustainable solution for businesses looking to improve their operations. In the oil and gas industry, for example, solenoid valves play a critical role in controlling flow in pipelines, equipment, and processes. The harsh environments encountered in this sector can put significant strain on valve components, leading to premature failure. The TIR E-Chip™’s ability to reduce power consumption and operating temperatures helps mitigate these risks, improving valve reliability and extending service life. Similarly, in the automotive industry, solenoid valves are used in various applications such as fuel control, hydraulic systems, and emissions control. The E-Chip’s power optimization helps improve fuel efficiency and reduce the electrical load on the vehicle’s systems, contributing to overall vehicle performance and sustainability.
