Please support our sponsor ASCO, the following papers are provided with their compliments.
Optimizing
Power Management in Solenoid Valves -By
Stephen Glaudel -Vice President,
Engineering ASCO Valve, Americas
-This paper covers the basic operation of
solenoid valves, including useful techniques and technology for optimizing
performance, power consumption, and cost of operation, in either AC or DC
powered applications.
Understanding
Applications, Uses Key to Solenoid Valve Selection, Plant Engineering
- David Zolobinski, William Mudd and Gregory Byrne - This paper covers common applications
and issues associated with solenoid valves. It also has a
very useful trouble shooting guide plus a section on new developments - Thanks
to ASCO and www.plantengineering.com
Solenoid
Pilot Valves for Valve Actuation - Bill
Reeson - This paper helps users select the correct pilot valve construction for
an application - Thanks to ASCO and valve magazine.

Your Father's Valve - "The Old Iron Workhorse Gets a Makeover"
-
Matt Migliore - This article highlights how microprocessors are enabling the development
of smaller and faster solenoid valves.
How

Good Installation and Maintenance Tips.
Solenoid
Valve Engineering Information- This excellent engineering
information sheet details most of what you need to know in regards to selecting
a solenoid valve. It details maximum/minimum pressures and temperatures,
viscosity, response times, valve seat tightness and degrees of
protection provided by electrical enclosures (IP code)
KV Calculation from ASCO-This program helps you calculate the Kv, the flow rate and the differential pressure of a valve or solenoid valve. (Pressure, lenght and temperature unit conversion integrated in the program). This program operates with Excel™ software(Microsoft™).
