Add to compare

The ADV & APV (Anode Drain & Purge Valve) is a normally closed valve designed for use with various working fluids such as hydrogen, air, helium, nitrogen, water (pH4-7), vapor, ice, hydrofluoric acid, and hydrogen peroxide. It features an EPDM gasket, IP5K4 protection for electrical parts, and a quick response time of less than 100 ms for both opening and closing. The valve can be customized with options like heaters (PTC or NTC), fastening clips, dedicated connectors, and integration with water separators. It is available in different configurations, including cartridge-style and body-mounted versions, and includes detailed specifications for various models. The valve is designed for low-pressure applications and is part of the hydrogen valves and components for fuel cell systems.

Use Cases

  • Typically used in hydrogen and related industrial applications.

Capabilities

  • Enables controlled purge and drainage of gases/liquids in low-pressure systems
  • Supports multi-fluid compatibility, including hydrogen and chemically aggressive media
  • Provides fast actuation (<100 ms) for responsive system control
  • Allows integration with system components (e.g., water separators, AWS systems)
  • Supports electrical interfacing via standardized connectors (Sumitomo types)
