30 - Solution System

Detergent Models

Machines that have on-board detergent

mixing (EcoFlex Models) have a solution

control circuit board, detergent pump,

and detergent bottle From an enabling

standpoint, the detergent module (circuit

board) has the same prerequisite control

that a non-detergent solution solenoid has

The machine must be in motion, and the

scrub brushes be active

However, instead of battery negative

passing straight to the solution solenoid,

it passes into the detergent control board

This signal serves as an “Enable” function

for the detergent and solution outputs

Within the detergent module control board

is a micro controller that generates PWM

outputs for both the detergent pump and

the solution solenoid This is a battery-

negative PWM, and applies negative

voltage to the coils

The two duty cycles of the PWM outputs

are controlled by onboard potentiometers

The Burst of Power switch will

temporarily increase both detergent and

solution flow rates for 60 seconds.

Detergent Pump

The detergent pump is a solenoid-driven

diaphragm with one-way check valves As

the solenoid oscillates in and out, it drives

a flexible diaphragm that draws fluid in

during the retraction stroke, and drives

fluid out during the compression stroke. The

check valves allow fluid to enter only though

the inlet port, and exit only through the

outlet port

Unlike an AC solenoid that moves its

plunger the same direction regardless of the

electrical polarity, a DC solenoid changes

its direction of travel depending on the

electrical polarity of the coil This is an

important distinction because if the pump is

connected with the wrong polarity, it will not pump liquid

The solenoid plunger is actively driven in only one direction (intake), but passively returned via the return

spring (exhaust) If the wiring polarity is reversed, the solenoid plunger will be driven in the same direction

that the return spring has already pushed the plunger So the plunger will never move
