Diaphragm Valves For Dust Bag Shaker

DIN EN ISO 9001:2008
Cert. No. 85 100 001 07808
Diaphragm Valves operated by a pilot solenoid valve are 2- way normally . These
valves are designed for extremely fast opening / closing and high flow rates.
The body and cover are of die cast aluminum alloy with special anticorrosive coating.
The solenoid valve is integrally mounted on the diaphragm valve and has
encapsulated coil ( Class F insulation ) with a water proof ( IP - 65 ) plug - on
connector.

Operation:
The diaphragm divides the valve into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The
air inlet leads into lower chamber from where it passes into the outlet when the
diaphragm, lifts. The diaphragm has bleed hole through which the high pressure
inlet air bleeds into and fills up the upper chamber, crating the same pressure on
both sides of the diaphragm. The pressure in the upper chamber acts on a lesser (
less outlet area ) area of the diaphragm. This keeps the diaphragm pressed down on
the outlet port, closing it.
The upper chamber is
connected to the atmosphere
through the air passage in the
pilot base. The plunger in
"normal" conditions keeps the
air passage closed, maintains
the pressure in the upper
chamber and hence the
diaphragm valve closed.
When electric supply is given
to the solenoid coil, the
plunger lifts within the core
tube and the compressed air in
the upper chamber exhausts
quickly to the atmosphere.
Because the exhaust air
passage has a higher flow rate
than the bleed hole on
diaphragm, the pressure in the
upper chamber falls suddenly. The pressure in the lower chamber then lifts the
diaphragm, causing the compressed air to flow from inlet through outlet.
When the solenoid is de-
energised, the plunger closed
the air passage resulting
resulting in the diaphragm
closing the valve outlet.

Valve Disassembly & Reassembly

Depressurise valve, turn off electric supply and proceed as per steps below :

Loosen plug screw and remove PLUG CONNECTOR (1) from COIL (2).
Remove coil retaining NUT (4) and slip COIL (2) off CORE TUBE (5)
Loosen core sleeve and remove CORE TUBE (5) from PILOT BASE (10), The
PLUNGER (7) AND SPRING (6) come loose.
Loosen screw holding PILOT BASE (9) to valve COVER (12) and remove PLOT BASE
(9). The 2nd rubber O-RING (8) comes loose.
Loosen COVER SCREWS (13) and remove COVER (12) and DIAPHRAGM (15) from
valve BODY (14). [The valves model 114 - 116 - 120 - 124 with larger capacity have
two stages (two diaphragms (15-17) to allow a standard small pilot solenoid valve to
control them.
Loosen and remove screws (13-19) both from the PILOT CAP (12) of the smaller
SECOND STAGE DIAPHRAGM (17) and from the COVER (18) of the MAIN
DIAPHRAGM (15)].
All parts are now accessible for cleaning or replacement, Clean the air passage in
PILOT BASE (9) . Replace worn or damaged parts.
Reassemble in reverse order paying careful attention to exploded view.
Clean the bleed hole and replace diaphragm (15) with the steel plate up facing the
cover.
Tighten the COVER SCREWS (13) to 10 + / - Nm. And the COVER SCREWS (19) of
the MAIN DIAPHRAGM (15) to 18 + / - Nm. Tighten the PILOT BASE SCREWS criss-
cross, Tighten the plug connector screw.
After reassembly, operate the valve a few times to be sure of proper opening and
closing.

Installation
The valve body has threaded inlet / outlet ports for installating the valve in the Bag
Filter. The inlet port (marked 'IN' ) is connected to the compressed air header and,
the outlet port to the compressed air distribution pipes.
The valves can be mounted in any position.
Apply pipe compound sparingly to male pipe threads only ; if applied to valve
threads, it may enter valves and cause operational difficulty.
Pipes strain should be avoided by proper support and alignment of piping. When
tightening pipe, do not use valve as a lever. Wrenches applied to valve body or
piping should be located as close as possible to connecting point.
Do not over tighten pipe connection to avoide damage to the valve body.
The voltage to be given to the coils is marked on the valves.

Nominal voltage tolerance

{DC-5%+20%
{AC-10%+20%

Power consumption
{31W DC current
{19VA AC current

The valve is fitted with standard components and hence suitable for compressed air
temperature of -20o to 80oC. For higher temperatures, special components are
available. Electrical connection is given to the plug connector. Remove the connector
screw and pull out the plug. The connector can be removed from its cover.
While fitting the plug connector back to coil, ensure that the rubber gasket is put in
place properly.

Maintenance
Warning : Turn off electrical supply and depressurise valve before making any
repairs. It is not necessary to remove the valve from pipeline during maintenance.
Cleaning : A periodic cleaning of valve is desirable. The time between cleanings will
depend on the compressed air and duty conditions. In general, if the voltage to the
coil is correct, sluggish valve operation excessive leakage or noise will indicate that
cleaning is required.

Preventile maintence :
Keep the compressed air clean, dry and from oil.
Check the valves at least once a month to ensure proper opening and closing.
Periodically inspect valve internals for damage, wear or clogging of the bleed hole on
the diaphragm and on the pilot base. Throughly clean and replace worn / damaged
parts.

While replacing the Diaphragm tighten the screws in criss - cross manner.

Improper operation
Check for and ensure supply to solenoid coil.
Check for "BURN OUT" of coil and replace if faulty.
Check and ensure voltage to coil is at least 90% of rated.
Coil is designed to accept + 20% or more over the voltage marked on the valve. A
higher voltage to coil is possible and desirable. On the contrary a voltage to coil less
than 90% of rated could cause malfunction.
Check and ensure pressure of compressed air , 2kg to 7 kg/cm2
If fault not corrected with above, disassemble valve, clean and replace
worn/damaged parts
