Aalborg PSV Series User Manual

PREPARATION and OPERATION

Prior to connecting gas/liquid flow lines inspect all parts of the
piping system including ferrules and fittings for dust or other
contaminants. Be sure to observe the direction of flow as indi­cated by the arrow on the front of the valve when connecting
the fluid flow system to be monitored.

Insert tubing into the compression fittings until the ends of the
properly sized tubing home flush against the shoulders of the
fittings. Compression fittings are to be tightened according to
the manufacturer's instructions to one and one quarter turns.
Avoid over tightening.

Once installed inline with the gas or liquid to be controlled,
apply a variable DC power source at the two solenoid wires to
proportionally open and close the solenoid valve (there is no
polarity). The valve is set to begin opening at approximately 5
VDC. They can also serve as "on off" valves (valves are not
guaranteed for absolute closure). Optional PSV-D DRIVER
MODULE is available when use of a 0 to 5 VDC or 4 to 20 mA
reference control signal is desired. Contact your distributor or
Aalborg7 for more information.

PROPORTIONATING SOLENOID VALVES

PSV Proportionating Solenoid Valves are uniquely designed
to respond to variable power inputs (0-30 VDC) to regulate
flow of liquids and/or gases proportionately. For added safety
PSV valves are normally closed (NC) when de-energized.

MAINTENANCE

The solenoid valve consists of 316 and
416 stainless steel, and VITON7 (or
optional BUNA-N7, EPR or KALREZ7) O-

rings and seals. No regular maintenance
is required except for periodic cleaning.
Various corrosive gases or liquids may
demand more frequent replacement of O­rings and seals inside the valve. Be sure
to use an elastomer material, appropriate
for your specific application. Contact your
distributor or Aalborg7 for optional sealing
materials available.

Set the PSV for maximum flow, and
attempt to flush through in both directions
with a clean, filtered, and neutral gas such
as nitrogen. [Another option for fully open­ing the valve is to remove the plastic cap
on top of the valve, and turn the set screw
counterclockwise until it stops]. If block­age is not alleviated, return the unit to
your distributor or Aalborg7 for servicing.

 It is the users responsibility to determine

if the instrument is appropriate for their
OXYGEN application, and for specifying
O2 cleaning service if required. Aalborg7
is not liable for any damage or personal
injury, whatsoever, resulting from the use
of this instrument for oxygen.

 If the valve is left in the active mode for

an extended period of time, it may
become warm or even hot to the touch.
Use care in avoiding direct contact with
the valve during operation.

 To protect servicing personnel it is

mandatory that any instrument being
serviced is completely purged and
neutralized of toxic, bacteriologically
infected, corrosive or radioactive
contents.

 Use of the PSV valve in a manner other

than that specified in this instruction
sheet, may impair the protection
provided by the equipment.
