How do you troubleshoot a hydraulic valve?
SYSTEM OPERATES SLOWLY
- Oil viscosity too high, cold oil. Allow oil to warm up before operating machine.
- Low pump drive speed. Increase engine speed (check manual for recommendations.)
- Air in system.
- Badly worn pump, valves, cylinders, etc.
- Restrictions in filters or lines.
- Improper adjustments.
- Oil leaks.
Can you rebuild a hydraulic control valve?
Repairing a hydraulic valve is a more cost-effective solution. Technicians will disassemble your valve and thoroughly clean and inspect it to see what the problem is. Sometimes everything can be fine within the valves and it is something as simple as replacing the soft seals.
How do you check a control valve to pass?
Passing valve identification without dismantling or isolation
- Presence of ice or condensation in case of high ΔP through the valve.
- When the section upstream of the valve is hot, it may indicate that gas passes through the valve.
Why do valves fail?
A: Failures in valves can be caused by many factors. Some of the more prominent causes include: Wear of the elastomers and/or seat seals over time. Temperatures or pressures outside the designed operating parameters, especially unexpected pressure spikes in the pipeline.
How do you test a hydraulic solenoid valve?
How to Test a Solenoid Coil?
- Set your multimeter on ohms. If the multimeter is not automatic, set it on 2k ohms.
- Place the probes of multimeter across the pins of a solenoid coil. If you find 3 pins there, one of them is a flat pin which is connected to the ground.
- Read the number on the multimeter.
How to troubleshoot a hydraulic valve in a car?
• Valve has a loose fit. • Valve in the body or the cover binds. • Spring is broken. • Dirt, chip, or burrs are holding the valve partially open. • Poppet or seat is worn or damaged. • Valve in the body or on the seat is cocking. Consider the following when troubleshooting relief valves because they have excessive noise or chatter:
Why is my hydraulic valve not unloading properly?
Consider the following when troubleshooting these valves because a valve fails to completely unload a pump: • Valve setting is too high. • Pump does not build up to the unloading valve pressure. • Valve spool binds in the body.
Why is my hydraulic valve making excessive noise?
Consider the following when troubleshooting relief valves because they have excessive noise or chatter: • Oil viscosity is too high. • Poppet or seat is faulty or worn. • Line pressure has excessive return. • Pressure setting is too close to that of another valve in the circuit. • An improper spring is used behind the valve.
Can a clogged intake line cause a hydraulic failure?
In extreme cases, cavitation can cause mechanical failure of system components. While cavitation can occur just about anywhere within a hydraulic circuit, it commonly occurs at the pump. A clogged inlet strainer or restricted intake line will cause the fluid in the intake line to vaporize.
