Solenoid Valves Types, Principle & Animation

 Direct acting, normally closed Solenoid Valve



Main features

*The sealing element is directly connected to the core

*This type of valves does not need any differential pressure to open.

*The maximum pressure difference across the valve is limited by the magnetic force of the used coil and the seat diameter.

*This valve is commonly used for low flow volumes.

Solenoid valve is closed.

*The coil is de-energized and the sealing element is pressed on the seat by the force of the spring and the medium.

Solenoid valve opens.

*The coil is energized and the magnetic force lifts the core with the sealing element from the seat.

Solenoid valve closes.

The coil is de-energized and the sealing element is pressed on the seat by the force of the spring and the medium.

Safety solenoid valves with manual reset, normally open (NO)

Main features
*The closing function is electrically activated by one or more gas detectors, safety thermostat, gas alarm systems
or another control device.
*This valve is used for emergency closing of the gas pipeline acc. to EN 161 requirements.
Solenoid valve is open.
*The valve remains open until the closing function is initiated by energizing the coil.
Solenoid valve closes.
*The valve closes when electric current circulates on the coil. The electric current is provided by the control device
(e.g. capacitor of the gas detector).
*The closing force is provided by the coil and the internal spring.
Solenoid valve opens.
The valve can be opened only manually by moving the reset rod once the electrical current from the control device (sensor, gas detector, etc.) is disconnected.
This occurs, when the reason for activation of the control device is removed (e.g. gas presence is eliminated).
Diaphragm pilot operated solenoid valves with differential pressure normally closed (NC)
Main features
The valve is sealed by the diaphragm.
It utilizes the energy of streaming fluid to open and close.
These valves combine features of direct acting and pilot operated valves.
No differential pressure is needed to operate the valve
Same size of coil can be used for the operation of valves with different dimensions, because the diameter of pilot seat remains the same for different dimensions of valves
The flow direction is given for the valve.
Solenoid valve is closed.
The coil is de-energized and the core with the sealing element is pressed on the pilot seat with the force of internal spring supported by up-stream pressure.
Up-stream pressure (higher then down-stream pressure) above the diaphragm presses it on the seat.
In case of small or none differential pressure, the valve can be kept closed only by the force of spring.
The solenoid valves opens.
The coil is energized
The core with the sealing element is lifted from the pilot seat.
The fluid from the upper part of diaphragm flows to the outlet trough the pilot seat and the pressure above the diaphragm equalizes with down-stream pressure on the outlet.
This pressure ratio remains stable because less fluid can flow through the bleed orifice as can escape through the pilot seat.
The opening force caused by the pressure difference between the upper and lower part of diaphragm lifts the diaphragm from the valve seat and keeps it open.
In case of small or none differential pressure. the valve is opened by the magnetic force, which lifts the core connected to the diaphragm by the mechanical coupling and opens the valve.
The solenoid valve closes
The coil is de-energized
The core with the sealing element is pressed on the pilot seat by the spring.
Up-stream pressure builds up on the upper part of diaphragm through the bleed orifice.
Up-stream pressure forces the diaphragm against the seat and closes the valve
In case of small or none differential pressure the valve can be kept closed only by the force of the spring.
Switching function
Normally closed (NC)
The valves with this switching function open when the coil is energized. The pilot operated valves can be operated only if the pressure difference between the up-stream and the down-stream pressure of the solenoid valve reaches the minimum operating pressure. This minimum operating pressure is indicated in our datasheets.

Normally opened (NO)
The valves with this switching function close when the coil is energized. The pilot operated valves can be operated only if the pressure difference between the up-stream and the down-stream pressure of the solenoid valve reaches the minimum operating pressure. This minimum operating pressure is indicated in our datasheets.

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.
