Troubleshooting (Valve)

                                                                                                                 

         

 

Failure 

Check the failure seen on the valve referring 
to  the  following,  and  take  appropriate 
measure.   

Cause 

Remedy 

Leakage

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

3.  The  leak  detecting  port  has  a  leakage     
which can happen for fluid (paint) leakage

.

 

1) 

Twist and cut of O-ring (external face) 

The  O-ring  at  the  external  face  of  the  valve 
was  twisted  or  cut  during  the  assembly  or 
operation  of  the  valve,  which  caused  the 
sealing  failure  and  fluid  (paint)  leakage  from 
the leak detecting port. 

 

- Replace the O-ring with new one. 
(Maintenance pats list P21) 
-  Apply  Vaseline  to  the  O-ring  at 
the  external  face  of  the  valve  and 
to 

the 

inside 

of 

the 

base. 

(Disassembly/Assembly  procedure 
P21)

 

2) Internal sealing failure of valve 

The sealing failure of the sliding part of 
the  valve  or  broken  diaphragm caused 
the  fluid  (paint)  leakage  from  the  leak 
detecting port.   

Replace the valve with new one. 

3)The permanent deformation 
compressed of O-ring (material: 
special FKM) 

The permanent deformation 
compressed is large due to the 
characteristics of the O-ring, so the 
compression is reduced, leading to 
leakage of fluid (paint etc.) from the 
leakage detection port.

 

- Replace the O-ring with new one. 
(Maintenance pats list P21) 

 
 
 
 
 
 

4.  The  leak  detecting  port  has  a  leakage 
which can happen for pilot air leakage. 

1) 

Twist and cut of O-ring (external face) 

The  O-ring  at  the  external  face  of  the  valve 
was  twisted  or  cut  during  the  assembly  or 
operation  of  the  valve,  which  caused  the 
sealing  failure  and  pilot  air  leakage  from  the 
leak detecting port. 

 

- Replace the O-ring with new one. 
(Maintenance pats list P21) 
-  Apply  Vaseline  to  the  O-ring  at 
the  external  face  of  the  valve  and 
to 

the 

inside 

of 

the 

base. 

(Disassembly/Assembly  procedure 
P19)

 

2) Internal sealing failure of valve 

The sealing failure of the sliding part of the 
valve  piston  causes  the  pilot  air  leakage 
from the leak detecting port. 

 

Replace the valve with new one. 

Insufficient 

flow rate 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The  flow  rate  from  the  OUT  port  has 
reduced. 

1) 

Gelling or clogging of paint 

Paint 

gelled 

or 

clogged, 

which 

narrowed  the  fluid  path  and  reduced 
the flow rate. 

 

-  Disassemble  and  clean  the valve 
body. (Cleaning of the valve P18) 
- Replace the orifice body with new 
one. (Maintenance parts list P21)

 

2) Reduction of pilot pressure 

The  pressure  of  pilot  signal  (air  pressure) 
reduced  and  prevented  the  valve  to 
achieve  the  minimum  operating  pressure, 
which  reduced  the  valve  stroke  and 
narrowed  the  fluid  path  resulting  in  the 
reduction of flow rate. 

 

Adjust the pilot signal pressure to a 
specified range. 
(Specified  pilot  signal  pressure 
range: 0.4~0.7MPa)

 

3) Excessive tightening of mounting 
nut 

The  mounting  nut  was  excessively 
tightened,  which  reduced  the  valve  stroke 
and narrowed the flow path resulting in the 
reduction of flow rate. 

 

Tighten  the  mounting  nut  at  the 
specified torque.   
(Specified torque P19: 

2.5~3.5Nm)

 

Liquid 

pool 

Insufficient 

cleaning   

The  cleaning  effect  is  unstable  and  takes  a 
time. Paint has gelled and hardened. Air has 
intruded. 
 

1)  Incorrect  mounting  direction  of 
valve 

Remount  the  valve  referring  to  the 
direction of the IN port of the valve. 
(Mounting direction of valve P19)
