ABOUT ME

Solenoid valves can malfunction for a variety of reasons when operating in fluid control systems. Understanding common problems and how to fix them can help you solve them quickly and reduce downtime. In this article, DELCO Valve will share common problems with solenoid valves, analyze the causes, and repair steps to help you easily deal with solenoid valve failures.

Solenoid Valve Troubleshooting

Solenoid Valve Working Principle

Solenoid valve is a device that controls fluid flow by electromagnetic force. Solenoid valve consists of electromagnetic coil, iron core, iron core winding, valve spool, valve seat, valve stem, etc. By controlling the current of the electromagnetic coil to control the switch of the valve, so as to regulate the flow of fluid. Solenoid valves can be used to control the flow of gases, liquids, steam and other fluids.

Solenoid Valve Common Failure And Causes

Reasons

Repair Methods

 1. Solenoid valve can not be opened or closed

  • Power supply failure or insufficient voltage.
  • Coil damaged or burnt.
  • Spool stuck or clogged.
  • Check for proper power connection and voltage.
  • Replace damaged coil.
  • Disassemble and clean inside spool and body.

2. Solenoid leakage

  • Worn or deteriorated seals.
  • Damaged valve body or spool.
  • Replace seals (such as o-rings).
  • Inspect and repair or replace damaged body or spool.

3. Excessive solenoid noise

  • High fluid pressure.
  • Loose coil or improper installation.
  • Adjust fluid pressure to valve’s rated range.
  • Refasten coil or adjust mounting position.

4. Solenoid valve responds slowly

  • Fluid viscosity too high or excessive contaminants.
  • Deteriorated coil or insufficient power.
  • Clean fluid line to ensure clean media.
  • Replace old coil or upgrade to higher power coil.

Solenoid Valve Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Disconnect power to check: Ensure safety, disconnect power before checking.
  2. Visual inspection: Check whether there is obvious damage to the coil, valve body and connections.
  3. Test the power supply: use a multimeter to measure whether the power supply voltage is normal.
  4. Disassembly and inspection: Disassemble the valve body and inspect the spool, seals and internal passages.
  5. Cleaning and replacement: Clear the blockage and replace the damaged parts.
  6. Reinstallation: Install and test the valve function correctly.

Recommendations for Preventing Solenoid Valve Failure

  1. Regular maintenance: Check the condition of the coil, seals and valve body regularly.
  2. Clean media: Ensure that the fluid is clean to avoid impurities entering the valve.
  3. Correct installation: install according to the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid over-tightening or over-loosening.
  4. Use high quality products: choose a high quality solenoid valve that meets the requirements of the system.
