The Different Types Of Pneumatic Valves

To those who are unfamiliar with pneumatic equipment, pneumatic valves may seem like a small and relatively insignificant part of an overall system, but the truth is that these valves are among the most important parts of any pneumatic system. Valves also form one of the weak points in any pneumatic system, since the installation of a valve involves joining several parts together. Any point in a system that does not consist of a single piece of solid material will feature a higher risk of leaks. That is why the components that you use at these joints are of great importance, and Pisco tube fittings and pneumatic valves are among the best choices for any industrial setup.

Pneumatic valves are largely responsible for the control of the pressure, rate and amount of air moving through a pneumatic system. Without pneumatic valves, there would be no way to use pneumatics in as many industrial applications as it is used in today, as it would be too difficult to make pneumatically-powered machinery perform as required without the control provided by these valves. These valves can be found in almost every type of industry, from pneumatic power tools to combustion engines. There are a few different types of pneumatic valve, and each serves a slightly different function, with applications in different types of industrial equipment.

The most common pneumatic valves are categorized according to the number of openings that they have allowing the entry and exit of air. The two-way directional valve is the simplest of all the valves, with a single opening for air to enter and a single opening for air to exit. This type of valve is used for simple on-off applications, where the flow of air from a single source needs to be shut off until it is required. A pneumatic drill, for example, will feature this type of valve. When the trigger is depressed to operate the drill, the valves two ports are open, and when the trigger is released the ports close, stopping the drill from spinning.

The three-way directional valve is basically a two-way valve with an additional exhaust port. When the exhaust port is closed and the other two ports are open, air flows through the valve and whatever component it is connected to will be active. When the port through which air enters the valve is closed and the other two ports are open, the component to which the valve is connected can vent exhaust.

The four-way directional valve is the most common valve found in pneumatic systems. Its 4 ports are split into a port for exhaust, a port for the source of air, and the remaining two ports connected to actuators. This is the most common valve because the two actuator ports effectively allow the component to which the valve is connected to be run in two different directions forwards and reverse.

Pneumatic valves, while small, play an essential role in any pneumatic system, and with Pisco tube fittings and pneumatic valves in your system, you can better ensure an effective and productive system.

As the colder months of the year approach, you will need to consult with a Heating Contractor in San Antonio TX about having your unit serviced to ensure it is ready for the colder weather. Most times this will involve having the unit inspected for damage and cleaned to help it run more effectively and efficiently.

One of the first things that will need to be inspected is the burner. The burner lights up and heats the air before it is sent into the home. If the flames of the burner are blue, the unit is clean and working properly. Yellow or orange flames generally indicate a dirty burner and the unit will need to be disassembled and cleaned. There are many parts in a burner, so this process can require a bit of time and skill to ensure it is done correctly.

After the burner has been cleaned, the technician will generally focus on the blower. This unit is generally found in the attic or in a utility closet. Most blowers have an air filter, which is designed to block dirt and particles from going into the system. The filter should be inspected and replaced if it is dirty. Filters should be inspected periodically throughout the season to help keep the unit running its best.

Since not all dirt can be trapped by the filter, the Heating Contractor in San Antonio TX will also spend some time cleaning the unit with a vacuum. This will remove surface dirt and any dirt clogging vents, grilles or other areas of the unit.

The unit’s motor should be checked to be sure the wires connecting it to the power are in good condition and all connections are secure. This will be beneficial in preventing fires from occurring. If the fan or fan belt show signs of damage, they should be replaced.

Making sure your heating system is clean and in good shape is important for maintaining your home at a comfortable temperature no matter what the weather is like outside. Having a professional to check you system before it is need, can be a good way to do this. For more information, please visit mmweatherization.com. You can also visit their Facebook page.
