Common faults and solutions of cartridge valves

Cartridge valve is a valve commonly used in industrial systems to control the flow and pressure of fluid. However, due to long-term use and other factors, cartridge valves also have some common failures. In this article, we will introduce some common cartridge valve failures and provide corresponding solutions.

Air leak or liquid leak

Air leakage or liquid leakage is one of the common failures of hydraulic cartridge valves. This may be caused by damage to the valve itself, aging of the seals or improper installation. If air leakage or liquid leakage is found, the sealing performance of the valve should be checked in time, and the damaged seal should be replaced. When installing the cartridge valve, attention should be paid to the selection and correct installation of the seal.

The valve is stuck

Valve stuck is one of the common failures of plate cartridge valves, which may be caused by the entry of impurities, wear or failure of the valve itself. If you find that the valve is stuck, you can try to solve the problem with a light impact first, if it does not work, it needs to be replaced or repaired.

Clogged Valve

Valve clogging is also one of the common failures of cartridge valves, which may be caused by impurities, sediment or solid particles in the fluid. If the valve is found to be clogged, it can be cleaned or replaced.

Poor throttling

Poor throttling refers to the poor throttling performance of the cartridge valve, which may be caused by wear, damage, or improper installation of the valve. If the throttling is found to be poor, the throttling performance of the valve should be checked in time and repaired or replaced.

The operation is not sensitive

Insensitive operation means that the operation of the cartridge valve is not smooth enough, which may be caused by the wear of the valve, the entry of impurities or the failure of the operating mechanism. If the operation is found to be insensitive, the operating mechanism of the valve should be checked in time and cleaned or replaced.

In short, it is very important to understand the common faults and solutions of cartridge valves to ensure the normal operation of industrial systems. If you encounter a cartridge valve failure problem, you should take corresponding repair and replacement measures in time to ensure the efficient operation of the system.
