  • Page 7: Chapter 1 General Overview

    Chapter 1 1. General Overview The Vindum Engineering CV High Pressure Valves are available in two configurations; either as a 2-position, on/off valve, or a 3-way, 4-position valve. The CV Valves are air-actuated, constant-volume valves with a switching time of less than .1 second. They are typically used as switching devices in high-pressure fluid flow systems.

  • Page 11: Chapter 2 Understanding Your Valve

    Chapter 2 2. UNDERSTANDING YOUR VALVE 2.1 Principles of Operation for the 2-Way Valve Each CV 2-Way Valve contains two air supply tubes, A and B, which are connected to one solenoid-operated pilot valve. Pressurized air CV-210 Open Valve passes from the solenoid pilot valve through one of the air supply tubes into the 2-Way valve’s piston assembly.
  • Page 12: Open / Closed Position (A1 / B2)

    A1 C1 2.2.1 Possible Configurations of the 3-Way Valve Because the three-way CV Valve contains the equivalent of two 2-Way valves, it can be used as two independently operated on-off valves, or as a single 3-way, 4-position switching valve. The 3-way valve can be operated in the following four positions.
  • Page 13: Chapter 3 Solenoid Pilot Valves & Manifolds

    Chapter 3 3. Solenoid Pilot Valves and Manifolds The CV-Series Valves are completely air actuated. Air is taken into the air inlet and distributed to the solenoid pilot manifolds. The solenoid pilots then distribute and control the air flow to the valves. 3.1 Air Supply Requirements Because the CV Valves are completely air-actuated, 85 to 115 PSI of filtered air must be connected to the so- lenoid pilot valves at all times.
  • Page 14: Electrical Power

    The air inlet fittings on the CV Valves are plastic “quick disconnects”, the same as the outlet fittings on the solenoid pilot valves. Connect the solenoid pilot valves to the CV Valve using 1/8” nylon or Teflon™ tubing (Teflon™ tubing is used for high temperature applications). NOTE: Before any of the air lines connecting the solenoid pilot valves to the CV Valves are disconnected, for any reason, some type of numbered or color-coded tags should be placed on each air line, each solenoid pilot valve fitting, and each CV Valve fitting to ensure the correct connections are made during reassembly.
  • Page 15: High Temperature Cv Valves

    Figure 3-4: Normally Open CV-210 Valve In the case of the three way CV Valves, the Valves can be set to have both valves open or closed, or it can be set to have one valve remain open while the other closes. Although this configuration is not shown, set up the valve in the normally closed configuration, then swap the connections on the valve you wish to be nor- mally open.

  • Page 17: Chapter 4 Cv-200 Series & Cv-400 Series Valve Maintenance

    Chapter 4 4. CV-200 Series and CV-400 Series Valve Maintenance The information contained in Chapter 4 explains how to disassemble, reassemble, and service all of the CV- series on-off valves. Chapter 5 will explain how to service the 3-way valves. The piston assemblies and sleeve assemblies in the 3-way valves are relative to those used in the on-off valves, so most of the information in his chapter also pertains to 3-way valves.

    2. Use a 9/64” Allen wrench to remove the two 8-32 x 1/2” socket head cap screws [1] securing the valve to the Support Bracket [3]. 3. Remove the remaining six 8-32 x 1/2" socket-head cap screws [2] securing both End Caps [4] in place. 4.
  • Page 19: Disassembling The Sleeve Assembly

    4.3 Disassembling the Piston Assembly Refer to Figure 4-2, above, for the following instructions. 1. Slide two 3/4” adjustable wrenches over the flats on the outside of both the Piston halves [11] and [13]. 2. Turn either one of the Piston halves counter-clockwise, while holding the other Piston stationary with the wrench.
  • Page 20: Inspecting The Sleeve And Cone

    DO NOT use steel wool. If you see any scratches inside of the sleeve where the O-ring sits, a new O-ring may leak. Contact Vindum Engineering to purchase a replacement sleeve. Next inspect the cone [18, 24], which is inside of the sleeve. Check to make sure the cone has no scratches, nicks, cracks, or broken-off areas.
  • Page 21 1. Carefully slide the two PEEK (tan) Back-up Rings [14, 20 or 26] into both sides of the Sleeve, on top of the spacer [19 or 25] and one into the other side of the Sleeve. Press these Back-up Rings all the way down so that they are seated flat.
  • Page 22 2. Apply a small amount of high quality grease (not oil) to the external O-rings [10] and the smaller internal ® O-rings [9]. Vindum Engineering uses Dow Corning 55 (M) for ambient and high temperature valves ® ® Vindum recommends Dupont Krytox for extra high temperature valves.

    Chapter 5 5. CV-300 Series and CV-500 Series Valve Maintenance The information contained in Chapter 5 explains how to disassemble, reassemble and service all of the CV Series 3-way valves. 5.1 Differences Between the CV 2-Way and 3-Way Valves The 3-way CV Valve contains all of the same sub-assemblies as the 2-way CV Valve. The 3-way valve is basi- cally two 2-way valves connected in the middle with a Center Fitting [40].

    with a minimal amount of “rocking back-and-forth”. NOTE: The End Fitting is permanently attached to the End Cap with “Loctite® 272”. 5. Repeat step 4 with the other End Cap / End Fitting, and set both pairs of parts aside on a clean work sur- face.
  • Page 25 8. Making sure that the “cone points” are each facing AWAY FROM THE CENTER FITTING, gently slide each of the Cylinder Shell / Piston Assemblies on to the Center Fitting. 9. Using a gentle rotating motion, gently slide both End Caps completely into both ends of the Cylinder Shells.

    3. `Check if there is any fluid in the line. 4. If the solenoid pilot valves have rusted and no longer operate, they need to be replaced. 6.1.2.3 The Air Pressure is Too Low Another cause of no “air escaping” sound when opening and closing a valve is the air pressure is too low to operate the valves.

    Verify that the gasket between the solenoid pilot valve and the air manifold is not damaged or cracked. If the gasket is cracked, contact Vindum Engineering for a replacement. If air continues to escape from the area between the solenoid pilot valve and the manifold, apply a light coat of silicone based compound (Dow –Corning Compound 111 Valve Lubricant...

    In the CV-405, 410, 505, and 510 series of valves, the cone must be removed with a specialized tool, available from Vindum Engineering In the CV-420 and CV-520 series of valves, however, the Cone cannot be pressed out, and if the valve seat is damaged the sleeve assembly must be replaced.

  • Page 35 Removing the Cone and Spacer from the CV-405,410,505, and 510 Series of Valves Using a toothpick or other non-metal tool used to remove the back-up rings and O-rings from the sleeve, gently pull the spacer out of the sleeve. Unlike the CV-210 and CV-310 valves, the spacer is not press fitted into the sleeve, and should remove easily.
