Working Principle
The AIV-40B-K intake valve operates on a fundamental principle: "the intake valve is loaded with electricity, and unloaded when it loses power." This design ensures precise control over air intake during compressor operation cycles.
Operation Modes:
- Loading Mode: When energized, the valve opens to allow air intake for compression
- Unloading Mode: When de-energized, the valve closes to stop air intake during idle periods
- Pressure Regulation: Maintains optimal pressure levels through precise control mechanisms
Installation and Maintenance
Installation Guidelines:
- Ensure compressor is completely depressurized before installation
- Clean all connection points thoroughly
- Use appropriate sealing materials for all connections
- Verify electrical connections match specified voltage requirements
- Test operation before full system integration
Maintenance Schedule:
- Monthly: Visual inspection for leaks and wear
- Quarterly: Check solenoid operation and electrical connections
- Annually: Complete disassembly and cleaning
- As Needed: Replace worn components based on operational hours
