how does an electric solenoid valve work

If the light doesn’t come on you should inspect to see why you don’t have power –possibly a bad fuse or relay inside the MCC. If the light is on and the solenoid doesn’t open you most likelyhave a bad coil. This indicator light is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine if you are getting power to the coil.

The Turck cable has a built in LED indicator light which illuminates when powered on. We use a Turck block and Turck cable to supply power to the coil.

The best way to tell which system you have is by looking at the information recorded on the side of the coil. The coil is typically fed with 110vac but in some applications can be used with 24vdc. This button also turns to lock it into place, resulting in a function remaining on. Helpful Information: There is a red pushbutton on the front of each valve which is used for manual bypass in the event the electrical part isn’t working and needs to be tested. In some cases, we plug port “B”or neither port depending on the specific application. In most applications port “A” is plugged off so there is NOT constant air flow. When the coil is energized it changes the air flow from port “A” to port “B”. How Does it Work? The Air Solenoid Valve uses an electric coil to open and close air passages. INTRODUCTION: Air Solenoid Valve Assembly for POD What is the Air Solenoid Valve? The air solenoid valve is used in our detergent POD to supply air to the Air Driven Chemical Valve, which when opened allows water to flow through the chemical injector and supplies product to the various car wash functions.
