High-pressure washer is a very important industrial cleaning equipment with a wide range of applications, including sanitation, pipeline and industrial cleaning. The operation process of the high-pressure cleaner is not complicated, but there will always be some problems during the long-term use of the equipment, which will affect the normal use. Our operators should understand the solutions to some common faults. Below we will introduce common problems and solutions to you.

The pressure switch is a pressure control device integrating pressure signal detection output, alarm display and other functions. It can measure and control the pressure of various gas and liquid media. The pressure switch mostly adopts the threaded joint or welding installation method, and does not need other objects or methods to assist reinforcement, the installation and use are simple and convenient. However, in daily life, the pressure switch may have some failures, which hinder people's normal use. Next, we will explain several common failures of the pressure switch such as no output signal from the pressure switch, poor sensitivity of the pressure switch, and too fast signal from the switch and so on. Today, I will briefly describe and analyze the above these fault problems and how to deal with them, hoping to help you solve them better.

The laboratory water purification system is an indispensable piece of equipment in the laboratory. These systems remove impurities and contaminants from tap water through physical and chemical processes to produce pure, sterile, high-quality water. In today's laboratories, the water environment as the most basic environment of the vast majority of laboratories occupies a very important position in the experiment, water quality often determines the authenticity and reproducibility of many experimental results, because any trace substances that may contaminate or interfere with the experimental results may lead to erroneous experimental results. In this blog, ATO will share with you some information and experiences about laboratory water purification systems. 

Pressure sensors today are more rugged and reliable than ever. Made of stainless steel construction, they provide abundant overpressure protection, improved total error band, and offer negligible orientation and vibration effects. They are ideal for long-term use even in harsh environments of extreme temperature, humidity, and vibration. In the following, ATO industrial automation will introduce some of the common problems with the pressure sensors.

Air operated double diaphragm pump is a new type of conveying machinery. It uses compressed air as the power source. It can absorb all kinds of corrosive liquids, liquids with particles, high viscosity, volatile, flammable and highly toxic liquids. It is used more and more in the chemical industry, but when many customers purchase pneumatic pumps, they find that they cannot pump liquids at all.

When using brushless DC motors, we may encounter failures such as motor overheating or smoke. What are the causes of these problems? How to solve them? Let's discuss the brushless DC motor overheating problem.

Even the best machines will fail over time, and paperless recorders are no exception. Paperless recorder is a kind of recorder that can convert temperature and pressure into current, voltage, thermocouple, thermal resistance and other signals through transmitters, and can provide transmission, communication, printing, alarm, power distribution, etc., and outputs and other functions and processes data records. Let's take a look at the common faults and solutions encountered when using paperless recorders.

A wind turbine is a turbine powered by wind energy. Wind turbines are like air intakes for jet engines. When air enters, it first encounters a set of fixed blades, called the stator, that direct air into a set of rotating blades called the rotor. The air pushes against the rotor and appears on the other side, where it travels more slowly than it would outside the turbine. Not only do we need to understand the definition of a wind turbine, but we also need to think about how to solve some of the problems that arise.

A magnetic stirrer is a device that forces liquid and gas media to convect and mix uniformly. The type, size, speed, power and other parameters of the agitator have an important impact on the effect of media stirring and mixing. Different stirring processes need to be realized by the operation of different stirring devices. When selecting the type, first of all, the purpose and requirements of the stirring operation should be based on the process. The following is an introduction that how to troubleshoot magnetic stirrers.

A thickness gauge is an instrument used to measure the thickness of an object. It is often used in industrial production to continuously measure the thickness of products, such as steel plates, steel strips, paper, etc. The coating thickness gauge can measure the thickness of non-magnetic coatings on magnetic metal substrates, chrome, copper, enamel, rubber, paint, etc., and the thickness of non-conductive coatings on non-magnetic metal substrates, such as: enamel, rubber, paint , plastic, etc.

Submersible sewage pump has been more and more attention, the scope of use is more and more wide, from the original simply used to transport water to transport a variety of domestic sewage, industrial wastewater, construction site drainage and so on. Sewage pump with compact structure, easy installation and long running time. When we use sewage pump, we should also know how to solve the failure. In this article, we will introduce the troubleshooting of sewage pump.

Electric actuated butterfly valve is a kind of valve commonly used in petrochemical, shipbuilding, power station, metallurgy, pharmaceutical and light industry industries. It is mainly used to cut off or control the medium in the pipeline. In the long-term use of electric butterfly valves, it is inevitable that various faults will be encountered, and leakage is one of the more common faults.

The electric ball valve is driven by an electric actuator and has the action of rotating 90°. It is mainly used for cutting, distributing and changing the moving direction of the medium.  The electric ball valve has the characteristics of compact structure, stable performance and convenient installation. It has been used more and more in many industries. It can be operated on site or controlled remotely. It is one of the final control elements in the field of automatic control. Electric ball valves may leak during use or installation.

Pneumatic actuated ball valve is different from manual valve. It needs to be in motion and adjustment state during use, and there are many moving parts, and it also bears the impact of various forces such as the unbalanced force of the medium. It is inevitable that various unexpected failures will occur. These failures could be actuators, regulators, and possibly from attached accessory devices. When a fault occurs, it must be dealt with and solved in time, so as not to delay the operation of the equipment of the entire project. Next, let's take a look at the common failure causes and solutions of pneumatic ball valves.

Thermal overload relays are protective appliances used for overload protection of motors or other electrical equipment and electrical lines. In the actual operation of the motor, for example, in the process of dragging the production machinery to work, if the machinery is abnormal or the circuit is abnormal and the motor is overloaded, the motor speed will drop and the current in the winding will increase, which will make the winding temperature of the motor. If the overload current is not large and the overload time is short, and the motor winding does not exceed the allowable temperature rise, this overload is allowed.
