🔥 Product Introduction
The SAACKE ESVN 12 is an electromagnetic safety shut-off valve designed for burner fuel systems. SAACKE’s current conformity documentation specifically lists ESVN 12 among its safety shut-off valves for oil burners.
The ESVN 12 is suitable for fuel-oil burner applications where the fuel supply must be electrically controlled and safely interrupted. Available technical information for the ESV 12 family specifies a 230 V, 40–60 Hz nominal supply, 5 bar operating pressure, IP65 protection, and a 98 V DC holding voltage.
The supplied listing identifies the unit as SAACKE ESVN 12, used condition, runner takeout, with Germany listed as the country of origin.

⚙️ Operating Guidelines
🔹 Verify the complete valve designation before installation.
🔹 Confirm that the fuel type, pressure, temperature, connection size, and electrical supply match the existing burner system.
🔹 Inspect the valve body, coil, terminal box, rectifier, sight indicator, seals, and pipe connections.
🔹 Make sure the fuel line is depressurized before removing or installing the valve.
🔹 Install the valve in the correct flow direction.
🔹 Keep the fuel system clean and prevent dirt or foreign material from entering the valve.
🔹 Check electrical insulation and grounding before energizing.
🔹 Never bypass a burner safety shut-off valve during normal operation.
🛠️ How to Use
- 🔍 Verify the ESVN 12 nameplate and technical ratings.
- 🧰 Confirm that the burner and fuel system are shut down.
- ⛔ Isolate the fuel supply and release pressure safely.
- 🔧 Install the valve according to the specified flow direction.
- 🔌 Connect the electrical circuit according to the original burner-control wiring.
- ⚡ Verify the supply voltage before energizing.
- 🧪 Check for fuel leakage.
- 🔥 Start the burner using the normal burner-control sequence.
- 👀 Confirm that the valve opens and closes correctly.
- ✅ Perform a safety shut-off test before returning the burner to normal service.
🔌 Power-On Sequence
- 🔍 Inspect the complete fuel valve assembly.
- ⛽ Confirm that the fuel system is correctly connected and leak-free.
- 🔌 Check the electrical wiring and grounding.
- ⚡ Energize the burner control system.
- 🧠 Allow the burner-management system to complete its safety checks.
- 🔋 Apply the specified valve control voltage.
- 👀 Confirm correct valve operation.
- 🔥 Proceed with burner ignition only after the safety sequence is satisfied.
⛔ Power-Off Sequence
- Stop the burner through the normal burner-control sequence.
- Confirm that the fuel valve closes.
- Verify that fuel flow has stopped.
- If maintenance is required, isolate the electrical supply.
- Isolate the fuel supply and depressurize the relevant section.
- Allow hot components and fuel lines to cool before servicing.
- Do not manually force the valve open during a safety shutdown.
⚠️ This is a fuel-system safety component. Testing and maintenance should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with burner-management and fuel-system safety procedures.
📘 Product Usage Notes
The ESVN 12 is not simply a general-purpose solenoid valve. SAACKE identifies the ESVN 12 specifically within its safety shut-off valve range for oil burners.
A documented ESV 12 configuration shows a 230 V, 40–60 Hz nominal supply, 5 bar operating pressure, 98 V DC holding voltage, IP65 protection, and a maximum medium temperature of 140°C. It also specifies a rectifier and a 100% duty-cycle coil arrangement.
For replacement work, do not select the valve by appearance alone. Match the model, identification number, coil specification, connection arrangement, fuel type, pressure rating, and burner application.
