1 Function Description

1.1 Application
The solenoid valve block supplies compressed
air to the pneumatically operated valve(s) in a
separation system.

1.2 Working Principle

Compressed air comes in to the valve block at
the shut-off valve (2). The air pressure is
indicated on the pressure gauge (1).

The valve block comprises one or two

solenoid valves (4), depending on the
application. When voltage is supplied to a

pneumatically operated valve, when the 6. Quick de-aerator
solenoid valve closes.

The valve has a lever for automatic or manual

operation. When the lever is turned to
horizontal position, the valve is operated
automatically, i.e, it is normally closed and
opens when the solenoid is energized. When
the solenoid is non energized, the valve can be
opened manually by turning the lever to the
vertical position.

NOTE

Switch off electrical power and close

the shut-off valve to depressurize the
valve block before disassembly.

• Mark each pipe before dismantling to

make sure the inlets and outlets are
connected correctly when the valve is
remounted.
