The advantages of SMA exemplary for a water valve are shown in Fig. 7.5. An electrically activated SMA element competes in this case with an electromagnet. The solenoid is significantly larger and heavier than the SMA actuator. The main advantage for industrial applications, however, provides the monitoring functionality. Especially for remote maintenance and the integration of the valves in central process controls this function is crucial.

Fig. 7.5The scored potential criteria of SMA valves sorted in the potential classes: technical, production, and market potentials. The black line shows exemplary how the rating can be noted in the diagram
