Fountain Solenoid Valve is sturdy and reliable, and if installed and maintained correctly, it can provide years of service.

　　In this blog post, we will describe steps that can be taken to help extend the life of the solenoid valve and maintain its peak performance. We will also study how to identify, solve and prevent possible problems with solenoid valves.

　　Before installing the Fountain Solenoid Valve into the system, please consider the following points.

　　Check whether the power supply voltage matches the allowable voltage of the solenoid coil. This can be found on the label on the side of the coil.

　　Ensure that the pressure of the medium to be passed through the solenoid valve does not exceed the maximum rated pressure of the valve. The pilot control solenoid valve and the auxiliary lift solenoid valve also have a minimum pressure rating, which must be met for the valve to work properly. The pressure rating of the valve can be found on the ID plate on the top of the armature tube, usually in bars.

　　Ensure that the medium is compatible with the structural material and sealing material of the valve.

　　Check whether the medium and ambient temperatures are within the minimum and maximum temperature ratings of the solenoid valve. Before installation, the influence of connected or nearby equipment on these temperatures should also be considered.

　　When Solenoid Valve Factory's solenoid valve is installed, the inlet (usually marked as port 1) is connected to the upstream flow, and the outlet (usually marked as port 2) is connected to the downstream. Some solenoid valves are also marked with arrows on the body to indicate the direction in which the medium should flow.

　　Ideally, the solenoid valve should be installed with the armature tube facing upward. This reduces the risk of any deposits in the medium falling into the tube and limiting the movement of the armature.

　　If the medium contains sediment or particles, a filter should be installed upstream of the solenoid valve to prevent contamination of valve components. Foreign matter entering the valve may damage internal components and cause valve failure.
