What is a compressed air valve 2.3?

Recently I published an article on this site entitled: What is an air valve 2.2? Here in the next episode of this series, information on air valve complex, the 2.3-style.

The first issue of the air valve 2.3, which concerns three, the number of "working" air ports, which are located in the valve body. That is, the number of ports that supply air to the valve and the air channel, what is doing the valve.

Most 3.2The valves are numbers or letters carved, cast or painted near each of the three "air ports work. If there are numbers near the ports, the No. 1 link to a compressed air valve would bring.

Port Number 2 would be the door of the working class, accessible from the air flow would be what activities you wanted to make the valve.

The third port in a valve-2.3 is a "port of discharge, and if numbered would be a 3 or 5. If all the doors in a 3.2Valve are letters, then port "A" projects would be the supply port and 'B' the working class to its port, with the third port is usually an 'E'.

As in-2.2 valve can be connected to one or two additional ports in the ends of the valve 2.3 to a line of signal or air lines to enable. If this is the case, this is 2.3-valve is flown single, double or air.

The two are in a valve-2.3, the number of positions, the internal valve mechanism. In this case two. If thisValve installed or operated, it is open or closed and the air or be used depending on the flow, or would be prevented from flowing.

Most of NC is 3.2 compressed air valves are closed or normal. If the valve is not operated, it's normal state is closed and compressed air can not pass.

If your application requires the air through the valve when not operating, flow, air must flow through the circuit of this valve whenOtherwise it would be NO or a normal open valve configuration selected.

2.3 All valves are controlled by actuators that operate or 'Shift' is the air valve. An external switch or button, or perhaps a floppy drive would be visible. Inside, it is probably an internal actor - one source - that the valve in the OFF position when the external drive is not in use will be moved.

If the external drive is "shielded", then when the valve is actuated, it will remain inlast selected item turns into an operator. Serrated means stay where you put! This is useful when the operator needs to operate the valve manually and then perform a further operation, while the air vent fuels demand.

Otherwise, it is less complex valve 2.2 cousin, 02:03 valve is used when a compressed air supply to use an application or device, compressed air for power But has in itself no path integral in the air ' atmosphere is required. Therefore, ifThe device has the function is executed, and it's time to deflate "or rent the air again, the third valve port is in-2.3 in the game.

When the air is turned off inside the valve closed, a way back into the atmosphere through the valve will be opened to release compressed air can. The air supply can be closed, the flow of compressed air to the valve will not flow through them, and the compressed air that was previously in the device orThe application is now ready to bleed along the exhaust air through the valve.

So, what kind of devices are these?

They are usually single-type actuators. One is immediately taken into account, "Air Springs.

Both Firestone and Goodyear (among others) manufacture "air spring". These are devices that look like tires, but as an opening in the center of the ring, where the wheel goes, both sides are closed with steel plates. In one hand is aAir port to which an air line can be connected by a valve-2.3. This "air springs are mounted on one side, picture a flat tire after you received your car, and can generate enormous forces activities. The pressure equals force times area, and the" size within a piston spring air can be huge. The use of mirrors, air springs of typical air cylinders, but offer high capacity at a fraction of the cost of an air-cylinder is a necessary, produce the same forceas the spring air.

Another application for single-action air cylinder valves is 02:03. Whether to extend the early spring or retired, a supply of air required to operate the SA cylinder. 2.3-A valve is designed to do just that.

Few more points, 3 / 2 valves, the mouth is blocked, and voila, you have a 2.2-valve.

If the cost of the valve is the same, you can use a 03/02 air valve anywhere you can use a 2.2-valve. Page 2.2 valves must always have thePort of work ultimately explored in the atmosphere that it provides an outlet valve in-2.3 no obstacle to its use.

If you have a double acting air cylinder, and you do not have 2.4 or 2.5 (more about these valves next article) is available, you two valves per cylinder 3.2, which requires two power sources to operate and expand to withdraw.

In over-air-compressors.com my e-book titled All About Air Valves - Volume One is now available. If youAre you interested in more information on air valves, visit the Web site and download a copy. This first e-book is an introduction to the shock, and focuses on iteration 2.2. Future volumes will focus to 2.3 valves, and then configuring 2.4 and 2.5.
