1. Iron Flake/Impurity Adhesion Faults in 2/2-Way Solenoid Valve
Triệu chứng: Valve core sticking (unable to switch or sluggish movement)
Increased leakage
Delayed actuator response
Các bước khắc phục sự cố: Kiểm tra tắt máy: Tháo rời thân van và kiểm tra lõi van, ghế van và bề mặt niêm phong cho các chip kim loại và các hạt.
Media Analysis: Confirm whether the fluid contains solid impurities (such as pipe rust and seal wear debris).
Filtration System: Check the filter for damage or insufficient filtration accuracy (≥25μm recommended).
Solution: Ultrasonic clean the valve core assembly or replace damaged seals.
Upgrade the filtration system (install a magnetic filter to absorb iron chips).
Use a slide valve design with an anti-sticking design where possible.
2. Mechanical Wear of the Valve Plug/Body
Symptoms
Excessive internal leakage (valve cannot fully close)
Abnormal noise during operation (metal friction)
Troubleshooting Steps
Tightness Test: Apply rated pressure and measure leakage in the closed state (standard values refer to ISO 5208).
Surface Inspection: Use a magnifying glass to inspect the guide surface of the valve plug for scratches or roughness.
Solution: Minor wear can be repaired by grinding; severe wear requires replacement of the valve plug assembly.
Consider switching to a hardened valve plug (such as hard chrome plating or ceramic coating).
3. Seal Failure
Symptoms: External leakage (liquid seepage at the connection between the valve body and the pipeline)
Dripping from the valve stem
Key Inspection Points: Check for cracks or compression set in the O-ring/PTFE seal.
Check for burrs or misalignment in the seal groove.
Solution: Replace the sealing material with a corrosion-resistant seal (such as fluororubber (FFKM) for strong acid and alkali applications).
Adopt a dual seal design (primary seal emergency seal).
4. Coil Electrical Failure
Symptoms of Aging
Abnormal coil heating (temperature rise exceeding 40K)
Weak pull-in (measured pull-in force less than 80% of rated value)
Insulation resistance <100MΩ (megohmmeter test)
In-depth Troubleshooting
Voltage Test: Measure the voltage across the coil to see if it is within ±10% of the rated value.
Current Analysis: Abnormally high no-load current may indicate a turn-to-turn short circuit.
Thermography: Locate local hot spots in the coil.
Solution: When replacing a coil, choose a model with Class H insulation (temperature resistance of 180°C).
Install an overvoltage protection circuit (such as a TVS diode).
5 . Environmental Factors
Typical Problems: Humid environments can cause coil short circuits.
High temperatures can accelerate seal aging.
Improvement Measures: Use explosion-proof coils with an IP65 or higher protection rating.
For high-temperature operating conditions, it is recommended to add a heat sink or use a 24V DC low-heat coil.
