As an indispensable important component in hydraulic and pneumatic system, the correct use and maintenance of the booster valve is crucial to the stable operation of the system and the extension of equipment life.
The following are some key notes for the use and maintenance of the booster valve, hoping to provide some reference for everyone in daily operation.
I.Preparation before installation
1.Choose a suitable location: The booster valve should be installed in a stable, vibration-free location to avoid pipeline shaking and valve damage. For liquid booster valve, it is recommended to install them at the outlet of the water pump to ensure effective pressure increase.
2.Understand the electrical parameters: Before installation, be sure to understand the electrical parameters of the booster valve, such as rated power, rated voltage, etc., to ensure that the wiring is safe and error-free.
3.Choose the appropriate installation method: There are usually two installation methods for booster valves: vertical and horizontal. The selection should be based on specific needs and maintenance convenience.
II.Precautions during operation
1.Check seal: Before starting, cheek the seal of the air pipe interface, joints and filters in detail to prevent gas leakage. For liquid systems, also check whether the pipe connections are firm.
2.Adjust the air pressure/hydraulic pressure: According to the system requirements, adjust the air pressure of the booster valve or the hydraulic regulating valve to ensure that the output pressure reaches the set value.
3.Observe the running state: After starting, closely monitor the operation status of the booster valve to ensure its normal operation. Pay attention to the pressure gauge of the air tank or hydraulic system to confirm whether it reaches the preset value.
III.Routine maintenance and upkeep.
III.Routine maintenance and upkeep
1.Regular cleaning: The booster valve may accumulate dust and dirt after a period of use, affecting its performance. Therefore, the booster valve and its surroundings should be cleaned regularly to ensure unobstructed airflow.
2.Check the fasteners: Regularly check whether the fasteners on the booster valve are loose, such as nuts, bolts, etc., to ensure that they are firmly installed.
3.Check the pressure gauge: Check the accuracy and sensitivity of the pressure gauge frequently to ensure that it can accurately reflect the system pressure.
4.Pay attention to the pressure range: When using a booster valve, be sure to pay attention to its working pressure range and it is strictly forbidden to use it at overpressure. If the outlet pressure exceeds 1.0MPa, special attention should be paid to the working pressure range of pipe joints, pipelines, etc.
IV.Safe operation
1.Prevent misoperation: During the operation, strictly abide by the safety operating procedures to prevent accidents caused by accidentally touching the wires or misoperating the valves.
2.Emergency treatment: In case of emergency, such as abnormal increase in system pressure or leakage, appropriate measures should be taken immediately to deal with it and cut off the gas or power supply.
3.Maintenance records: Establish maintenance records for the booster valve,and record in detail the time,content, replaced parts and other information of each maintenance for future review and reference.
In short, the correct use and maintenance of the booster valve is crucial to the stable operation of the system and the extension of the equipment life. Hope the above precautions can provide some help and reference for everyone in actual operation.
