Scotty,
Burkert German) makes a solenoid valve that is slow closing. It and the ASCO Vave 8221 series are somewhat expensive, but they work without surge eliminators, which in our 2" 80 psig existing laundry room application might require some trial and error to get it right.
Thank you all for you input!!! The solenoid yalve was chosen to maintain a tank level in our ozone laundry systems. As a commercial washer (one of 4) demands treated water, it is pumped out of the treated water tank (refilled by city water via the solenoid valve). We considered a motorized...
Thank you. Are you saying that the circuit would be like a tank circuit? And I guess when the delay circuit lets the threshold voltage down to the value where the spring overpowers the coil, the speed of close would be the same.
I have a 120 volt ac coil on a 2" water valve that I would like to convert to slow operating to prevent water hammer. Can I accomplish this with a capacitor and a resistor or will this just create a delay in operating circuit with the same operating speed?
