Pulse Valve

The pulse valve is the core actuation component of the cleaning system in bag or cartridge dust collectors. Its main function is to instantaneously release compressed air, generating a high-speed pulse airflow that removes dust accumulated on the surface of filter bags or cartridges, ensuring the dust collector operates continuously and efficiently.

Pulse Valve Working Principle

The pulse valve is a type of diaphragm valve specifically designed for instant opening and closing, typically controlled by a solenoid pilot valve. Upon receiving an electrical signal, the pilot valve opens to release pressure, causing the main diaphragm to lift rapidly, allowing high-pressure gas to be expelled in a very short time, creating a “pulse.” After the blowing ends, it automatically closes, waiting for the next signal. A typical application is in the bag dust collector’s cleaning system, where it sequentially blows out filter bags to remove accumulated dust.

Receiving Control Signals
The pulse valve is controlled by a pulse control device or PLC system, triggered by a set time or pressure difference signal.

Instantaneous Opening for Blowing
Upon receiving the electrical signal, the solenoid pilot valve activates, opening the pressure relief port. This causes the pressure in the diaphragm’s rear chamber to drop rapidly, creating a pressure difference between the front and rear chambers, which lifts the diaphragm and opens the valve quickly within 0.1 to 0.3 seconds.

Releasing Compressed Air
The high-pressure gas (typically 0.3 to 0.6 MPa) from the air reservoir is expelled through the pulse valve via a blowing pipe, forming a high-speed jet that enters the filter bag.

Inducing Secondary Airflow
As the blowing airflow passes through the Venturi tube, it induces surrounding air (secondary airflow) into the filter bag, causing the filter bag to expand and vibrate sharply, detaching the layer of dust adhering to its surface.

Automatic Reset and Closure
Once the electrical signal disappears, the spring resets the diaphragm, sealing the blowing port and completing one cleaning action. The entire process takes only a few dozen to several hundred milliseconds.

Pulse Valve by Construction

Z-type Pulse Valve

“Z” represents “right-angle ” (the angle between the inlet and outlet is 90°), with the input end and the output end arranged vertically, resembling the letter “Z”.

Y-type Pulse Valve

“Y” represents “submerged” (also known as embedded), and this pulse valve is directly installed inside the air tank, as if “submerged” in the air source.

ZM-type Pulse Valve

“ZM” stands for “Direct Flow” (also known as Tube Connection). The inlet and outlet are on a straight line (with an angle of 180°), and the airflow channel is more smooth.

Solenoid Valve Assembly

The solenoid valve assembly is the core driving component, serving as the “central nervous system” of the pulse valve, responsible for converting electrical signals into mechanical actions to control the opening and closing of the valve. It plays a crucial role in industrial automation, environmental dust removal and other systems, ensuring that fluids (such as compressed air) are precisely sprayed according to instructions.

FAQ

How long does the lifespan of the pulse valve last?

The service life of the pulse valve is usually 1 million blowing cycles or 3 to 5 years. However, in actual working conditions, it is affected by various factors, and the service life may be significantly shortened to 2 to 3 years or even shorter.

Why is our pulse valve unable to blow effectively or has poor dust removal performance?

When pulse valves have weak blowing or poor dust clearing, it’s usually linked to the air source, air quality, or blowing pipes.

  1. Low Air Pressure (<0.3 MPa): This may stem from compressor wear, leaks, or added air devices. Repair the compressor, check for leaks with soapy water, and consider upgrading if needed.
  2. Oil and Water Contamination: Caused by a faulty oil-water separator or lack of maintenance. Install an oil-water separator and a filter with ≤5μm precision. Regularly maintain the drying system and replace desiccants. Replace corroded diaphragms.
  3. Blowing Pipe Issues: Long-term wear, damage, or blockages can cause leaks. Check and repair or replace damaged pipes, clear spray holes, and align pipes using a laser tool to ensure proper airflow.

Addressing these issues can restore the pulse valve’s performance and improve the dust collector’s efficiency.

What causes solenoid valve assembly to overheat or burn out?

The fundamental cause of overheating or burning out of the solenoid valve lies in excessive current or poor heat dissipation, which causes the temperature to exceed the heat resistance limit of the insulating material, ultimately leading to insulation breakdown, short circuit and even burning.

Common causes :

  • Voltage fluctuation exceeds ±15%
  • Overload caused by prolonged power supply or frequent start-stop operations
  • Wet coils and aging insulation
  • Poor heat dissipation or excessively high environmental temperature
What is the reason for the abnormal noise emitted by the pulse valve during operation?

‌Poor valve core movement‌: There is friction or jamming between the valve core and the valve chamber, which will cause abnormal sounds during operation. Solution: Disassemble the pulse valve, clean the impurities inside the valve core and the valve chamber, and apply an appropriate amount of lubricant to the contact areas to ensure the valve core moves freely.
‌Component loosening‌: The solenoid valve is not firmly fixed, the connection terminals or bolts are loosened due to blasting vibration, which will cause vibration and noise. Solution: Re-tighten the electromagnetic coil, connection terminals, and all bolts, and install anti-loosening washers if necessary.
‌Fluid impact‌: If the blasting pressure is too high or the air flow speed is too fast, the fluid will exert a strong impact on the valve body. Solution: Adjust the blasting pressure to a reasonable range of 0.4-0.6 MPa, optimize the blasting parameters, and reduce the intensity of the air flow impact.
