The primary function of the FESTO solenoid valve is to control the switch of liquid and gas pipelines. It uses a two-position DO control method, which is suitable for the control of small pipelines. On the other hand, electric valves are ideal for analog regulation of medium flow in liquid, gas, and wind system pipelines. These are controlled by AI.
For the control of large valves and air systems, electric valves can also be used as two-position switch controls. However, electromagnetic valves can only be used for switch signals in DO control. They are best for small pipeline control with DN50 and below pipelines, and are rarely used upwards.
Electric valves are more versatile, with the option of having AI feedback signals and control by DO or AO. They are more common in large pipelines and air valves.
FESTO solenoid valves have the following main characteristics:
In summary, the FESTO solenoid valve has excellent features, including external leakage blocking, a simple system, action express delivery, and a wide range of applications. However, its adjustment accuracy and applicability to specific media are limited, but the various models can still meet different needs.
Select AC and DC solenoid valves according to the type of power supply. Generally speaking, AC power supply is convenient to access.
Priority should be given to using AC220V for voltage specifications DC24V.
The fluctuation of power supply voltage is usually selected as+% 10% for AC- 15%, DC is allowed to be around ± 10%. If it exceeds the tolerance, voltage stabilization measures must be taken or special orders must be made.
The rated current and power consumption should be selected based on the power supply capacity. Attention should be paid to the high VA value during AC starting, and indirect solenoid valves should be preferred when the capacity is insufficient.
The maximum and minimum temperatures of the environment should be selected within the allowable range. If there are any deviations, special orders should be made.
In environments with high relative humidity and water droplets or rain, waterproof solenoid valves should be selected.
Special varieties, such as marine solenoid valves, should be selected for situations where there are frequent vibrations, bumps, and impacts in the environment.
For use in corrosive or explosive environments, priority should be given to selecting corrosion-resistant materials based on safety requirements.
If the environmental space is limited, please choose a multifunctional solenoid valve, as it eliminates the need for bypass and three manual valves and is convenient for online maintenance.
Choose different types of solenoid valves for gas-liquid or mixed states.
Different specifications of products with different medium temperatures, otherwise the coil will burn out, the sealing components will age, and it will seriously affect the service life. The medium temperature should be selected within the allowable range of the solenoid valve.
The viscosity of the medium is usually below 50cSt. If it exceeds this value and the diameter is less than 15mm, a high viscosity solenoid valve should be selected.
When the cleanliness of the medium is not high, a backwash filter valve should be installed in front of the solenoid valve. If the medium flows in a directional manner and backflow is not allowed.
