FAQ

  • Q Pressure and Voltage Issues:

    A

    Problem Phenomenon:
    The solenoid valve opens normally after installation, but after a few seconds (or several seconds), it gradually closes on its own, and the flow rate decreases.

    Cause Analysis:
    1️⃣ Unstable pipeline pressure.
    2️⃣ Voltage fluctuations causing an uneven magnetic field.

    Solution:
    1️⃣ Implement pressure stabilization in the pipeline.
    2️⃣ Place a shim under the coil to raise it by 3–5 mm, shifting the magnetic field upward.

  • Q Opening Issue

    A

    Problem Phenomenon:
    The solenoid valve opens normally after installation, but after a period of operation, it fails to open.

    Cause Analysis:
    The coil has burned out due to prolonged or excessively frequent energizing.

    Solution:
    Replace the coil.

  • Q Opening Issue

    A

    Problem Phenomenon:
    The solenoid valve fails to open immediately after installation.

    Cause Analysis:
    1️⃣ Incorrect voltage – Too high voltage can burn out the coil immediately.
    2️⃣ Excessive pipeline pressure – The magnetic force generated by the coil is insufficient to move the valve.

    Solution:
    1️⃣ Replace the coil.
    2️⃣ Use a coil rated for higher voltage or shorten the internal spring by 3 turns.

  • Q Closing Issue

    A Problem Phenomenon:

    The solenoid valve works normally after installation, but after a period of operation, it fails to close.

    Cause Analysis:

    1️⃣ Dirt or debris has accumulated in the solenoid valve’s internal orifices or at the valve seat seal.

    2️⃣ The diaphragm or piston is damaged.

    Solution:

    Replace the diaphragm or piston.

  • Q Closing Issue

    A Problem Phenomenon:

    The solenoid valve was just installed, and it hasn’t closed even once.

    Cause Analysis:

    There is back pressure at the solenoid valve outlet, or dirt/debris has entered the valve inlet.

    Solution:

    Install a check valve at the outlet or a filter at the valve inlet.

  • Q Installation

    A
    There is an arrow on the valve body or base indicating the flow direction. Do not install it in reverse.
    (This product is not suitable for media with large particles or impurities.)
    If the medium is dirty, a filter must be installed.
    There should be no pressure at the valve outlet. If pressure exists, a check valve must be installed.
