Solenoid Control Valve - 136M-2 | Cla-Val

Cla-Val 136M-2 Solenoid Control Valve

The Cla-Val 136M-2 is a solenoid control valve designed for marine control networks, primarily used in air conditioning and chilled fresh water systems. This valve is not intended as a simple main line isolation solenoid; it functions as a control element within hydraulic circuits or automation arrangements.

Technical Application Data

• Cla-Val Code: 136M-2
• Type: Solenoid Control Valve
• Service: Fresh chilled water / air conditioning systems
• Union sizes: 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1 1/4", 2"
• Flanged sizes: 1 1/2", 2", 2 1/2"
• Union connection: MIL-F1183
• Flanged connection: MIL-F20042 Class 150 or ASA Class 150 B16.24
• Military specification (quick reference): None

Operation

The valve is electrically actuated via solenoid, altering the state of the control circuit. System response depends on control panel logic, coil voltage, pilot piping arrangement, and the valve’s position within the chilled water loop.

Selection Criteria

For technical selection, confirm the following:

• Coil voltage and type
• Normally open or normally closed function, as required by the system
• Connection type: union or flanged
• Operating pressure and available differential pressure
• Chilled water cleanliness
• Access for coil and pilot line inspection

Maintenance

Inspection should include coil, wiring, connection tightness, cleanliness of small ports, control filters, and response to panel command. In chilled water systems with corrosion products or sludge, cleaning is required to prevent actuation or reset issues.
