Solenoid Valve with Manual Reset Working Principle

 Manual Reset Solenoid Valves are used in applications and processes demanding utmost safety checks before starting / stopping the process. In all such application, human intervention is the final check before the process is taken into/ taken off the auto mode.

Based on the nature of the process, the solenoid valves are required to stop the process from starting automatically in case of an emergency or vice versa. These valves are called Manual Reset valves with Latching on Energization. They are also referred to as No voltage Release or Free handle type Manual reset.


Manual Reset Solenoid valves Types & Operation
1. Manual Reset, (Latching on energization)
This valve is to be used for application which demands utmost safety check before starting of the process. Valve cannot be operated electrically. The valve switches ON when electrical supply to the solenoid is available followed by manual operation. In absence of power to the solenoid, the valve can be operated manually. Valve is switched OFF when power to the solenoid is removed.

Some of the examples where Manual reset ON valve should be used, are starting of Fuel gas flow, switching on solenoid valve for starting main process, etc.

2. Manual Reset, (Latching on De-energization)
In certain application, the valves are energized on automatically, however they are required to remain energized till manually turned off. These valves are called Manual Reset with Latching on De-energization of the Solenoid. They are also referred to as Trip shut off type Manual Reset Valves.

Solenoid Valves used in Fire Fighting systems are typical example of application of this type.


3. Manual Reset Tamper Proof
*Where in the valve cannot be operated till either by pressing manual reset button or by providing electrical supply. The valve changes position only when the electrical supply is provided and button pressed momentarily. On de energizing the solenoid, the valve trips. This feature is currently available in 3 port valve only

*The necessity of having a manual reset in solenoid valve should be determined during design phase, this shall be identified by process engineer or by operator through HAZOP.

*The philosophy is based on whether the operator is required to be present on site or not. He/she should check the surrounding condition and make sure everything on site is normal (e.g. no hydrocarbon spill) before resetting the valve.

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. Image Credits : krohne Sensor Parts : Reference electrode Applied chlorine dioxide specific potential Current needed to maintain the constant potential Counter electrode Measuring electrode The disinfection effect of ClO2 is due to the transfer of oxygen instead of chlorine, so that no chlorinated byproducts are formed.
