Dental Sterilisers - Fluid Control
Customer Application
Bulky sterilizers and the need to dismantle dental instruments for disinfection after use costs the dental surgery valuable space and time.
Norgren’s customer is a leading manufacturer of dental instruments and sterilizers, needing a solution for fluid controls.
Norgren Solution
Working with its customer, Norgren has developed an integrated solution including FAS solenoid valves, pressure regulators and relief valves.
The system enables delivery of disinfecting agents and cold water directly to all parts of the dental tools.
This allows them to be cleaned without the need for heating or dismantling.
Engineering Advantage
By integrating all necessary components into one system, Norgren has helped its customer reduce assembly time and costs as well as significantly reducing the machine’s size.

Oygen Concentrator - Flow Control
Customer Application
Oxygen concentrators improve the quality of life of patients who can not get sufficient oxygen out of the ambient air.
Norgren’s customer, a European manufacturer of Oxygen concentrators, needed a compact solution for flow control, capable of high flows and with low leakage.
Norgren Solution
Using newly designed cartridge valves piloted by Microsol 15mm solenoid valves to produce flows of up to 1200 l/min, Norgren has created a solution which gives high performance, low power and long lifetime in demanding conditions.
Engineering Advantage
This high flow valve unit can achieve flow of up to 1200 l / min. The compact design of the module helps to save space and assembly time and reduce cost.

Chromatography - Mixing of Regents
Customer Application
In chromatography, space is at a premium and different types of aggressive liquids and gases need to be dispensed and mixed consistently.
Dead volumes leading to contamination and pumping effects need to be minimized and valve material selection is critical.
Norgren Solution
For this market, FAS miniature isolation valves are integrated into compact customer specific manifold solutions.
Dead volume is minimised.
The low power valves have fast response rates and a very high repeatability.
Engineering Advantage
Equal distances between all inputs and the highly repeatable valves employed ensure an accurate mixing of reagents while eliminating much tubing.
The configuration, the number of valves and the material of the bases can be adapted to the customer application.

Anaesthesia -Pressure Control
Customer Application
A manufacturer of anaesthetic machines required a manifold for pressure control of medical gases with a built in gas alarm safety feature.
Low leakage and accurate pressure control are critical.
Norgren Solution
Modular V08 valves, RM1 miniature cartridge regulators and fittings in a compact manifold.
The system is assembled and fully tested in Norgren’s clean room facilities.
Engineering Advantage
The customised manifold reduced overall leakage and is easily assembled into the existing machine.
