Solenoid Valves Terminology

 A solenoid valve is a combination of two functional units:


A solenoid operator essentially consisting of a coil, core, core tube, shading coil and spring(s).

A valve body containing orifices in which a disc, diaphragm or piston etc. is positioned according to the type of technology used.

The valve is opened or closed by movement of the magnetic core which is drawn into a solenoid when the coil is energized.

SOLENOID VALVE TERMINOLOGY
Coil
Electrical part of the valve consisting of a spool wound with insulated copper wire creating a magnetic flux when energised. The coil is held in place on the tube with a retaining clip.

Core
Soft-magnetic plug-nut moved by magnetic forces (flux generated by the coil).

Core spring
Spring which keeps the core in fixed position when the coil is de-energised.

Core tube
Stainless steel tube closed at one end, in- stalled to improve the magnetic flux of the solenoid coil upon energisation

Cover
Cover mounted on the valve body and incorporating a number of orifices.

Diaphragm
Seal-tight diaphragm isolating the fluid from the control system.
Disc, valve disc
Sealing material on the core or disc-holder which shuts off the seat orifice.

Manual operator
Manual operation of the lever to open or close the orifices.

Manual operator spring
Drawback spring ensuring return of the pulse control device to its initial position

Orifices
Orifices for fluid transit.

Plug-nut
Stationary core pressed in the closed end of the core tube, installed to improve the magnetic flux of the solenoid coil upon energisation.

Retainer clip
Clip anchoring the coil to the yoke.

Rocker
Moving part serving to open and close the orifices for the passage of fluid.

Seating or valve seat
Specially formed border of the main valve.

Solenoid enclosure
Metal housing around the coil for electrical and mechanical protection, as well as protection against ingress of water or dust.

Valve body
Main part of the valve with all ports and main seats

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.
