The 24 V solenoid valve from Lecomble and Schmitt is an additional system that can be used in conjunction with the L&S linear drive on sailing boats. The unit reduces the energy consumption of the drive unit by a factor of six.
The ‘Ecopilot’ controls the valve that activates the autopilot. The power consumption of this solenoid valve accounts for a significant proportion of the total energy consumption of the autopilot. The ‘Ecopilot’ works by allowing the required current to flow through the solenoid valve for a brief moment to switch it on. The current is then significantly reduced, but remains sufficient to keep the solenoid valve in its position.
The item numbers on the drives may differ in some cases.
The Ecopilot is suitable for the following part numbers, among others:
- 2203067
- 2201789
- 2203069
- 2201791
- 2203121
