How does this solenoid valve work?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, how does this solenoid valve operate when powered and when not powered?
Pilot-operated three-way five-port solenoid valve; its specific functions depend on the application scenario, as I really have never seen such a device used in a three-way five-port configuration
When power is applied to the left side, the air path follows the diagram on the left; when power is applied to the right side, it follows the diagram on the right. The gas path is the situation where no power is supplied to either side of the diagram on the right. The gas path is the diagram in the middle. I haven’t tested this; it’s just an estimate based on experience. You can try it yourself.
It’s used for filling; isn’t the other side useless?
The right side needs to be removed; it doesn’t work at all. What’s the point?
Three workstations are needed; it has to be determined based on the actual site conditions, otherwise there’s no need for three
Three-way five-port solenoid valves, which can be installed according to one’s own needs
A three-position five-way solenoid valve with dual control and spring return, where the 12 and 10 coils cannot be powered simultaneously (and must not be): when coil 12 is powered (coil 10 is de-energized), connection is established from upper 3 to lower 3, and from 1 to 2; all other connections remain closed. 10 is powered (12 is unpowered); all ports are closed. 10 lost power, 12 lost power; the upper 3–lower 3–2 ports are connected to each other, while all the others are not.
