Exceeding this duration will shorten the valve's lifespan and may cause the coil to burn out. If continuous duty is required, consider U.S. Solid Motorized Ball Valves.
  • Цахилгааны аюулгүй байдал: Ensure all electrical connections are made by a qualified professional and comply with local electrical codes. Disconnect power before installation or maintenance.
  • Даралтын хязгаар: Do not exceed the maximum operating pressure of 101.52 PSI (7 Bar) for air/water or 72.5 PSI (5 Bar) for oil.
  • Температурын хязгаар: Operate within the specified temperature range of -10°C to 120°C (14°F to 248°F).

5. Суурилуулалт

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of the solenoid valve.

  1. Бэлтгэл: Ensure the system is depressurized and drained before installation. Clean all pipe threads to remove debris.
  2. Утасны чигжээс: Apply an appropriate thread sealant (e.g., PTFE tape or pipe dope) to the male pipe threads. Ensure the sealant is compatible with the media being controlled.
  3. Close-up image showing application of thread sealant tape to pipe threads

    Figure 9: Applying thread sealant.

  4. Суурилуулалт: Install the valve in the desired position, ensuring the flow direction matches the arrow on the valve body. The valve can be mounted in any orientation, but for optimal performance and lifespan, it is generally recommended to mount the coil vertically upwards.
  5. чангалах: Hand-tighten the valve onto the pipe, then use a wrench to tighten an additional 1 to 2 turns. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the valve or threads.
  6. Шүүлтүүр: It is recommended to install a filter upstream of the solenoid valve to prevent debris from entering and potentially obstructing the valve's operation. (Filter not included).

  8. Цахилгааны холболт: Connect the valve to a 24VAC power source. Ensure the power supply matches the valve's voltage rating. All electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician and adhere to local codes.
  9. Нэвчилт шалгах: After installation, slowly pressurize the system and check for any leaks at the connections.

6. Үйл ажиллагаа

This U.S. Solid solenoid valve is a Normally Closed (N.C.) type. Its operation is straightforward:

  • Эрчим хүчгүй байдал: When no electrical power is supplied to the coil, the valve remains closed, preventing fluid flow.
  • Эрчим хүч авсан төлөв: When 24VAC electrical power is applied to the coil, the electromagnetic force lifts the plunger, opening the valve and allowing fluid flow.
  • Хариулт: The valve opens and closes rapidly, typically in less than 1 second.

Important Operating Note: As stated in the safety section, this valve is not designed for continuous duty. Avoid keeping the valve energized for more than 8 hours in a single cycle to prevent overheating and premature failure of the coil.

7. Засвар үйлчилгээ

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable performance of your solenoid valve.

  • Тогтмол үзлэг: Periodically inspect the valve for any signs of leaks, corrosion, or damage to the wiring.
  • Цэвэр байдал: Ensure the area around the valve is kept clean and free of debris that could interfere with its operation.
  • Coil Condition: Check the solenoid coil for any signs of overheating (discoloration, melting). If detected, review operating conditions, especially the duty cycle.
  • Битүүмжлэлийн бүрэн бүтэн байдал: While VITON seals are highly durable, extreme conditions or incompatible media can degrade them over time. If leaks occur, inspect the seal for damage.
