SOLENOID SHIFTED AIR
DISTRIBUTION VALVE OPTION
Warren Rupps solenoid shifted, air
distribution valve option utilizes electrical
signals to precisely control your
SandPIPERs speed. The solenoid coil
is connected to the Warren Rupp
Solenoid Rate Controller/Batch Control,
or a customer - supplied control.
Compressed air provides the pumping
power, while electrical signals control
pump speed (pumping rate).
OPERATION
The Solenoid Shifted SandPIPER has a
solenoid operated, air distribution valve
in place of the standard SandPIPERs
pilot operated, air distribution valve.
Where a pilot valve is normally utilized
to cycle the pumps air distribution valve,
an electric solenoid is utilized. As the
solenoid is powered, one of the pumps
air chambers is pressurized while the
other chamber is exhausted. When
electric power is turned off, the solenoid
shifts and the pressurized chamber is
exhausted while the other chamber is
pressurized. By alternately applying and
removing power to the solenoid, the
pump cycles much like a standard
SandPIPER pump, with one exception.
This option provides a way to precisely
control and monitor pump speed.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Before wiring the solenoid, make certain
it is compatible with your system voltage.
