Gas solenoid valves are commonly used in gas pipeline construction, and are also found in many residential gas pipelines and natural gas pipelines. They are also commonly found in large factories, where they are considered safe for both industrial applications and operation.
The following are some points to note when using gas solenoid valves:
Following certain steps during installation and daily operation helps maintain safety and effectiveness during use.
First, before installation, pay attention to the markings on the purchased gas solenoid valve to understand and determine whether the selected solenoid valve meets the usage requirements.
Secondly, when installing a gas solenoid valve, the coil should be kept facing upwards and at a vertical angle. The arrow on the solenoid valve must align with the direction of gas flow in the pipeline. Do not install the gas solenoid valve in locations prone to leaks or splashes, as this could wet the valve and affect its performance.
Another point to note is that gas solenoid valves should not be installed in low-lying areas of gas pipelines to avoid condensation and impurities from hindering their use.
If the connected pipes lack sufficient rigidity, the pipe upstream of the valve body can be fixed to prevent vibration during solenoid valve operation. Pressure gauges should be installed on the pipes at both ends of the valve body for easy monitoring of pipe pressure values and to ensure safe operation.
Furthermore, the surface of the gas solenoid valve should be kept clean and tidy before and after use, avoiding any contamination that could affect its performance. If the solenoid valve malfunctions during use, operation should be stopped immediately, the valve isolated, and a technician should be called to inspect and repair it. Installing a bypass device next to the solenoid valve can help ensure the effective operation of the gas solenoid valve system.
