Pulse valves

Clean Your Pulse Jet Baghouse Efficiently

Diaphragm and solenoid valves work together for efficient operation of the baghouse cleaning system. GE offers many valves to best fit your application:
  • For extremely corrosive applications, valves can be coated in a variety of finishes
  • Integral solenoid valves are mounted directly on the diaphragm valve
  • Remote solenoids are mounted in a separate NEMA enclosure
  • Valves available for high volume/low pressure applications

GE offers Goyen® and ASCO® valves. We can provide technical support, complete rebuild instructions, and an in-house engineering staff to assist your crews with site-specific valve problems.

Typical pulsing problems:

Problem Cause Solution
Valve will not open
  • No power to timer or solenoids, or faulty steps in timer
  • Solenoid coil continuity
  • Buildup of debris (oil, dirt, etc.) in solenoid plunger sleeve
  • Tubing between solenoid and pulse valve blocked
  • Tubing ID too small (< 0.167") or tubing too long (> 8ft.)
  • Solenoid plunger worn
  • Holes in diaphragm
  • Blocked exhaust ports
  • Check wiring, may need new timer board
  • Replace coil
  • Unplug lines- replace if needed
  • Install correct tubing
  • Rebuild w/ Solenoid Repair Kit
  • Replace diaphragm
  • Remove blockage
Valve will not close (leaks air)
  • Solenoid leaks air
  • Tubing between solenoid and pulse valve leaks
  • Solenoid energized continuously
  • Insufficient air supply
  • Blocked bleed ports in pulse valve housing
  • Bad seal on diaphragm
  • Broken diaphragm spring
  • Rebuild or replace solenoid
  • Replace tubing and/or connectors
  • Check power - replace timer board
  • Check compressor supply lines, and the header is properly sized
  • Lightly tap housing near bleed port to release blockage or disassemble valve and clean out bleed port
  • Replace w/ diaphragm kit
