Pulse Valve Maintenance Checklist: 10 Proven Steps to Keep Your Solenoid Valves Running Smoothly

1. Nameplate: Ensure the pulse valve nameplate is clearly readable. The model, specifications, and other information indicated on it serve as important references for subsequent maintenance and component replacement.

2. Valve Body: Check the pulse valve housing for deformation, cracks, or damage.

3. Visual Inspection: Open the pulse valve and carefully inspect the diaphragm surface for damage, cracks, aging, or other issues.

4. Surface Cleaning: Regularly clean dust and debris from the pulse valve surface using a clean cloth or brush to maintain a tidy appearance.

5. Valve Core Cleaning: Periodically remove the solenoid pilot valve core and check for dust or impurities.

6. Internal Cleaning: Perform a deep cleaning of the pulse valve interior at regular intervals (e.g., once a month).

7. Connection Points: Inspect the connection bolts and nuts between the pulse valve, air reservoir, and blowpipe for looseness.

8. Power-On Test: Energize the solenoid pilot valve and observe whether it operates normally.

9. Coil Temperature: After the solenoid pilot valve has been powered on for some time, touch the coil surface (be cautious to avoid burns) to check if its temperature is normal.

10. Sealing Performance Check: With the pulse valve closed, introduce compressed air into the air reservoir, then apply soapy water to the sealing area between the diaphragm and the valve seat. Observe if any bubbles form.

11. Air Supply Pressure: Use a pressure gauge to check whether the air supply pressure is within the normal operating pressure range of the pulse valve.

12. Air Supply Quality: Check if the air supply contains excessive moisture, oil, or impurities.

13. Pipeline Connections: Inspect the air supply pipeline for damage or air leaks.

14. Observe the Blowing Process: During normal operation of the pulse valve, observe the blowing condition of the blowpipe.

15. Check Filter Bag Cleaning Effect: Examine the dust residue on the surface of the filter bags to determine whether the pulse valve’s blowing achieves the expected cleaning effect.

16. Lubrication Maintenance: Regularly apply an appropriate amount of specialized lubricant to the solenoid pilot valve core and moving parts of the pulse valve to reduce wear and ensure smooth movement.

17. Maintenance Records: After each maintenance task, record details such as the time, content, issues found, and actions taken.

18. Abnormality Reporting: If serious malfunctions or abnormalities are detected during maintenance that cannot be resolved on the spot, report them to superiors promptly and provide repair recommendations and solutions.
