Direct Lift Diaphragm Solenoid Valve Principle

 2/2 Direct Lift Diaphragm Normally Closed Solenoid Valve


To open: 
when the valve receives an electrical signal, a magnetic field is formed which attracts the plunger covering the main orifice to lift off, causing system pressure to drop.

As system pressure on the top of the diaphragm is reduced, full system pressure on the other side of the diaphragm acts to lift the diaphragm away from the main orifice, which allows media to flow through the valve.

Since the bleed orifice is dimensionally smaller than the pilot orifice, the system pressure cannot rebuild on the top of the diaphragm as long as the pilot orifice remains open. When the system pressure is 0 PSI, the valve also can be operated.

To close: 
when the valve is de-energized, it releases its hold on the plunger. Then the plunger forced by the spring drops and covers the main orifice.
The system pressure builds up on the top of the diaphragm through the bleed orifice, forcing the diaphragm down until it covers the main orifice and stops media flow through the valve. When the system pressure is 0 PSI, the valve still can be operated.

2/2 Direct Lift Diaphragm Normally Open Solenoid Valve

To close:
when the valve is energized, it attracts the plunger. Then the plunger covers the main orifice.

The system pressure builds up on the top of the diaphragm/piston through the bleed orifice, forcing the diaphragm/piston down until it covers the main orifice and stops media flow through the valve. When the system pressure is 0 PSI, the valve also can be operated.

To open:
when the valve is de-energized, it releases its hold on the plunger. The plunger uncovers the pilot orifice causing system pressure holding the diaphragm/piston closed to drop.

As system pressure on the top of the diaphragm/piston is reduced, full system pressure on the opposite side of the diaphragm/piston acts to lift the diaphragm/piston away from the main orifice, which allows the full media flow through the valve. When the system pressure is 0 PSI, the valve also can be operated.

PLC Program for Mixing Tank

 Create a ladder diagram for controlling a batch mixing process. Implement a PLC program for mixing tank or Mixing Process using PLC Ladder Logic. PLC Program for Mixing Tank Fig : Mixing tank A tank is used to mix two liquids. The required control circuit operates as follows: A. When the START button is pressed, solenoids A and B energize. This permits the two liquids to begin filling the tank. B. When the tank is filled, the float switch trips. This de-energizes solenoids A and B and starts the motor used to mix the liquids together. C. The motor is permitted to run for 1 minute. After 1 minute has elapsed, the motor turns off and solenoid C energizes to drain the tank. D. When the tank is empty, the float switch de- energizes solenoid C. E. A STOP button can be used to stop the process at any point. F. If the motor becomes overloaded, the action of the entire circuit will stop. G. Once the circuit has been energized, it will continue to operate until it is manually stopped. Solution...

What is Relay? How it Works? Types, Applications, Testing

 We use relays for a wide range of applications such as home automation, cars and bikes (automobiles), industrial applications, DIY Projects, test and measurement equipment, and many more. But what is Relay? How a Relay Works? What are the Applications of Relays? Let us explore more about relays in this guide. What is a Relay? A Relay is a simple electromechanical switch. While we use normal switches to close or open a circuit manually, a Relay is also a switch that connects or disconnects two circuits. But instead of a manual operation, a relay uses an electrical signal to control an electromagnet, which in turn connects or disconnects another circuit. Relays can be of different types like electromechanical, solid state. Electromechanical relays are frequently used. Let us see the internal parts of this relay before knowing about it working. Although many different types of relay were present, their working is same. Every electromechanical relay consists of an consists of an Elect...

Chlorine dioxide Analyzer Principle

 Chlorine dioxide measurement Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is an instable, non-storable, toxic gas with a characteristic scent. The molecule consists of one chlorine atom and two oxygen atoms – represented in the chemical formula ClO2. It is very reactive. To avoid the risk of spontaneous explosions of gaseous chlorine dioxide or concentrated solutions, it is generally handled in dilution with low concentrations. ClO2 is soluble in water, but tends to evaporate quickly. Typically it is prepared on site, for example from hydrochloric acid and sodium chlorite. The procedure provides solutions with approx. 2 g/l ClO2 that can be safely handled and stored for several days.
