INTRODUCTION
THE CONTINUING STORY OF LEE COMPANY INNOVATION
THE LEE COMPANY
For over 60 years, The Lee Company has pioneered the design and development of miniature fluid control components. Since its beginning in 1948, The Lee Company premise has been to economically solve problems where existing hardware is either not immediately available, or is too cumbersome. The Lee Company continues to set the standards for fluid control components through innovations developed at our Technical Centers in Essex and Westbrook, Connecticut.
Electro-Fluidic Systems products are designed and manufactured at our facility in Essex, Connecticut.
THE LEE COMPANY

PRODUCT GROUPS
INTRODUCTION
Lee is organized into nine product groups or cells . Each product group is comprised of its own engineering, manufacturing and sales teams working together to provide better service and products. Quicker responses and deliveries, higher quality, lower costs and product innovations to better solve our customers problems are direct benefits of this approach. The three Electro-Fluidic Systems (EFS) groups produce high quality miniature solenoid valves (general purpose and chemically inert models), high speed micro-dispense valves, atomizing and dispense nozzles, fixed and variable volume pumps, integrated fluidic manifolds, inert tubing and fluid control components and custom engineered designs. These products are used in medical and scientific instrumentation, analytical/clinical chemistry, in vitro diagnostics, drug discovery and ink jet printing applications. The five aerospace product groups supply Lee Plugs, high pressure solenoid valves, single and multi-orifice restrictors, nozzles, safety screens, check valves, relief valves, flow controls and shuttle valves to a wide range of industries. These include hydraulic and pneumatic applications on commercial and military aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, naval vessels, machine tools, downhole oil tools, power generation equipment, race cars, etc. The Industrial MicroHydraulics (IMH) group supplies Lee Betaplugs, Hi-Performance Cheks and other miniature fluid control components to the automotive, commercial and industrial markets. IMH products meet the requirements for quality, economy and ease of automated installation, which are of paramount importance to these industries.

SOLENOID VALVES
LHD Series
Lees High Density Interface (LHD Series) Solenoid Valves are designed for applications where space is limited. Featuring small size and light weight without sacrificing performance and reliability, the valves are available in three different styles: plug-in, face mount, and ported. Extended performance versions (Latching, Quiet Operation, Semi-Inert and Lo-Lohm) are also available. These valves are generally used in medical and scientific instrumentation or control applications such as oxygen delivery systems, gas analysis equipment, patient monitors, air calibration devices, ventilators/respirators, gas chromatography and other flow switching devices. Each valve is 100% functionally tested for switching voltage, flow capacity and leakage. The rugged materials used help ensure consistent long-term performance. The valves will typically operate up to 250 million cycles on air, depending on the seal material and application parameters.
SOLENOID VALVES
Latching Design
The Latching design is optimized for applications that demand ultra-low power and low heat making it ideal for portable, battery powered instruments. The valves require only momentary (10 ms minimum) pulses of current to switch state resulting in 5.5 millijoule per switch. The polarity of the voltage on the terminal pins controls the switched position.
LHD SERIES
2
Quiet Operation Design

The Quiet Operation design uses whisper technology to achieve patient comfort. A typical solenoid valve has an inherent clicking sound when energized, which is caused by the metal-to-metal contact of the moving armature and stationary core. With whisper technology however, actuation noise is significantly reduced, providing a sound level measurement of less than 37 dBA when measured at a distance of 24 inches and a valve cycle frequency of 10 Hz.
Semi-Inert Design
The Semi-Inert design can handle moderately aggressive gases and liquids in a wide range of fluid handling applications. Featuring a superior perfluoro (FFKM) elastomer seal, this design is also compatible with saline.
Lo-Lohm Design
The Lo-Lohm design offers more flow capacity across an extended pressure range without sacrificing size and weight.

Normal Pressure Range: The valves will operate within the normal pressure range when supplied with the rated voltage 5%. The normally closed port seal is spring loaded, so the pressure applied to this port should not exceed the pressure on the common port or the normally open port (except for charge vent valves) by more than 8 psid (55 kPa). n Extended Pressure Range: The valves can operate in the extended pressure range if higher voltage is applied. Up to 1.6 times rated voltage may be used continuously for 280 mW models. Up to 1.25 times the rated voltage may be used continuously with 490 mW models.

MINSTAC direct dispense valves are available in two different styles (LT and VJ), both allowing repeatable direct dispensing from the valve without the need for an additional nozzle. The 062 MINSTAC inlet port allows the valve to be used with Teflon tubing and the Lee 062 MINSTAC Fitting System. The LT style has a sapphire orifice plate and incorporates an internal pressure compensation bladder. This allows the droplet to retain its integrity longer and travel further. The VJ style does not have a pressure bladder. This reduces the throw distance slightly, but makes the valve easier to flush.

Manifold Mount VHS Valves
VHS Series valves with standard or small outlet ports can be manifold mounted. This allows precise, controlled injection of fluids directly into flow streams. The outlet port is placed in close proximity to the flow stream, minimizing captive capillary volumes and increasing the accuracy of the volume of the fluid injected. Single and multiple valve manifolds are available in PEEK and acrylic. Boss plugs are also available to allow for future system expansion.
A detailed machining drawing for the installation hole (INIX0500050A) is available to assist in the manufacturing of custom manifolds or in-house drawings.

SOLENOID VALVES
The following specifications apply to all VHS Series solenoid valves, unless otherwise noted.
Cycle Life
VHS valves will operate for a minimum of 250 million cycles on water. Flow media and system conditions may affect performance. Standard VHS valves are designed for operation on liquids. For air or gas operations, contact The Lee Company for special models.
The VHS valves require a spike and hold signal for proper operation. This will prevent damage to the coil. Spike and hold drive circuit modules are available (IECX0501350A) for use with VHS valves. See page C20 for complete starter kit. A schematic for a "typical" spike and hold drive circuit (H-wave) can be found in the Engineering Section, page S37. There is no polarity associated with the valve pins. STANDARD 12 VOLT COIL Resistance (ohms) Inductance: energized (mH) Inductance: de-energized (mH) 10.6 3.6 2.8 STANDARD 24 VOLT COIL 40 16 12 DIRECT DISPENSE 24 VOLT COIL 110 38 20
Operating Pressure
Valves are designed to operate within the normal ranges listed in this handbook. Proof Pressure....... 2 x normal operating pressure Burst Pressure....... 3 x normal operating pressure
Special higher pressure valves can be designed. Contact The Lee Company for specifications.
SOLENOID VALVES

VHS SERIES
18
Ambient operating temperature range is 40F -120F (4C - 49C) Maximum outside coil temperature not to exceed 150F (66C ) Increasing the operating temperature tends to limit coil performance. Coil temperature is influenced by current and environmental factors such as self-heating, ambient temperature and heat dissipation (heat sinks, active cooling, fluid flow, etc.) Special high temperature valves are available
Response Time

VHS Series valves require a spike and hold drive circuit (H-wave) to operate properly. Failure to reduce the spike voltage will result in damage to the valve. Schematics for these circuits can be found in the Engineering section, page S37.
Purging

Valves must be free of air (purged) for optimum dispensing performance. This may require a static and/or dynamic purge. Please contact The Lee Company if assistance is needed.
Filtration
System filtration of 12 microns is recommended. In addition, last chance safety screens are available that thread directly into valves with MINSTAC inlet ports. These are last chance screens and are not intended to replace system filters. Improper filtration can result in damage to the valve (leakage) due to contamination of the sealing surface. Refer to MINSTAC Section, pages L52-53.

Safety Screens
Proper system filtration is critical for the operation of any valve. Lee offers last chance safety screens which can be placed directly inline with the valve to prevent stray particles from damaging the valve. They are not meant to act as system filters or replace proper filtration. The screens are available in male to male and male to female configurations. Refer to Engineering Section, pages L52-53 for details.

The valves will typically operate for a minimum of 250 million cycles on water. Typical life exceeds 500 million on water.
Operating pressure
n

n n
Pressure range: vac-10 psig. Pressure exceeding 10 psi will reduce the valve operating speed. Valve proof pressure: 20 psi
Valve burst pressure: 30 psi Ambient operating temperature range: 40F to 120F (4C to 49C) Maximum coil temperature: 150F (66C) Increasing operating temperature tends to limit coil performance.
n n n n
Valve duty cycle and energized time must be evaluated for conformance with the maximum recommended operating temperature and coil temperature.
Response Time
INK Series valves require a spike and hold drive circuit (refer to Engineering Section, page S37) to attain rated speeds. Maximum frequency for INK valves is based on the voltage spike duration and the use of high speed drive circuits. Filtration Filtration of 35 microns or finer is recommended. Contact The Lee Company for additional technical assistance and application information.

INK Series valves are designed for use with soft, flexible tubing. The dispensed droplet is affected by the length of tubing used in the system. Tubing stiffness, I.D., O.D. and chemical compatibility must be considered during system design. n Lee offers 0.042" I.D., PVC tubing for use with INK Series valves (Part Number TUVA4220900A).
Spike voltage is the voltage required to actuate the valve. Spike voltage can be applied for a limited time (several milliseconds) depending on conditions. Longer on-times require the voltage to be reduced to the holding voltage . Failure to do so will cause permanent damage to the valve. High speed drive circuits are necessary to achieve the maximum operating frequency (refer to Engineering Section, pages S37-S38). A spike and hold driver (Part Number IECX0501350A) is also available.

The LFV Series is a family of 2-way isolation valves, featuring bi-directional flow and a contoured flow path which allows complete flushing. This contoured flow path also minimizes damage to delicate fluids. The small internal volume reduces the amount of fluid needed to fill the system (transport volume) further reducing sample and reagent requirements. LFV valves are optimized for applications in analytical instruments, biotechnology and IVD devices.

SOLENOID VALVES
The following specifications apply to all LFR Series valves, unless otherwise noted.
Life Expectancy
The valves will typically operate for a minimum of 10 million cycles on water.
Operating Pressure
The valves will operate within the normal pressure range when supplied with the rated voltage (+/- 5%). Valve Proof Pressure: 2x normal operating pressure Valve Burst Pressure: 3x normal operating pressure
n n n
Maximum allowable solenoid temperature is 200F (90C) Increasing the operating temperature tends to limit the coil performance. The valve duty cycle must be evaluated to prevent the coil temperature from exceeding 200F (90C). Storage temperature is -20F to 180F (-28 to 80C) Minimum and maximum ambient operating temperatures are dependent on the elastomer selection. Lower temperatures will increase the response time needed. If the temperature is too low, the valves may fail to open (ref. chart below for temperatures ranges of the 3 elastomers). For applications with temperatures below those listed, please contact The Lee Company. MATERIAL FKM MINIMUM 45F (7C) MAXIMUM 120F (49C) 120F (49C) 120F (49C)

Valve Mounting
1/4-28 and Barbed Port Valves: Mount valves using #2 (2 mm) screws allowing 0.52" (12.7 mm) of screw length for valve thickness. Torque screws to 15 in-oz max.
Manifold Mount Valves
Minimum center to center spacing is 0.5" (12.7 mm). One gasket per valve is required for mounting (Part Number LHWX0218130A for FKM, LHWX0218140A for EPDM and LSWX0508210A for FFKM.) Each valve requires four #2 (M2) screws for mounting. Screws should be torqued to 13.5-16.5 in-oz (0.095-0.117 N-m).
The LFR coils are not polarized and therefore can be connected to the power in either direction. There are three different styles of electrical connections.

The LFN Series Solenoid Valves are 2-way normally closed, diaphragm valves, designed to provide consistent reliable switching in the smallest footprint possible. The small footprint allows a high valve packing density on manifolds. Combining this with the valves low internal volume greatly reduces the overall system fluid volume and manifold size. The isolation diaphragm on an inert housing makes these valves suitable for the control of critical and aggressive fluids.
LFN valves feature:

n Small size: 0.3" center to center mounting n Low internal volume: 13 microliters n Fast response time: 20 ms (faster with a spike and hold circuit) n Operating pressure: 30 psig n Low Power: 900 mW

LFY SERIES
9 INERT VALVES
The following specifications apply to all LFY Series valves unless otherwise noted.
Cycle Life
The LFY valves will operate for a minimum of 5 million cycles on water at standard temperature and pressure conditions. Specific application conditions and fluids may affect the life of the valve.
Operating Pressure
The LFY valves will operate properly within the range specified. Excess pressure may adversely affect the cycle life. Valve Proof Pressure............2 x normal rated pressure Valve Burst Pressure............3 x normal rated pressure
n Ambient operating range is 60F to 118F (16C - 48C) n Maximum allowable solenoid coil temperature is 250F (121C). n Increasing coil temperature tends to limit performance. Valve duty cycle and
energized time must be evaluated so coil temperature does not exceed 250F (121C).
LFY SERIES
INERT VALVES 10
Response Time
Typical response time for the LFY valve is 50 ms at 65F (18C). Lower operating temperatures can dramatically increase response time. Extended periods of inactivity may also increase the initial response time.
Port Connections
Several different port connections are available:
n 054 ports: these are designed for use with 0.040" (1.0 mm) I.D. flexible tubing n 062 MINSTAC: for use with Lee 062 MINSTAC Teflon tubing system n 156 MINSTAC: for use with 156 MINSTAC Teflon tubing systems
(also compatible with many 1/4-28 flat bottom fitting systems).
n Manifold mount for use with custom manifolds.
Filtration
Fluid used in LFY Series valves should be filtered to 5 microns or finer.
Wetted Materials
Wetted materials used in the LFY series are: PPS: polyphenelene sulfide LCP: liquid crystal polymer PEEK: polyetheretherkeytone FKM: fluoroelastomer FFKM: perfluoroelastomer
LFY SERIES
11 INERT VALVES
Valve Mounting
LFY valves may be mounted using #2 (2 mm) screws to a flat surface. Sufficient length must be provided to allow for the valve thickness and still allow proper engagement into the mounting surface. Screws should be torqued to 15 in-oz (0.11 N-m). Nylon screws can be used to prevent over torquing. Nylon mounting Screws (#2) LHWX0203770A: 1" long LHWX0203990A: 1.25" long
Panel Mounting
n 3200 Lohm valves require a 0.79" (20 mm) clearance hole with a maximum panel
thickness of 0.44" (11 mm). Use panel nut LHWX0203250A to mount the valve.
n 1000 Lohm valves require a 0.83" (21 mm) clearance hole with a maximum panel
thickness of .44" (11 mm). Use panel nut LHWX0203760A to mount valve.
LFY valves are designed to run at the rated voltage +/- 5%

LPV Series pumps are variable volume, positive displacement pumps that feature unparalleled reliability and consistent performance. Their small size, light weight and maintenance free design permit the pumps to be located where the fluidic requirements dictate, regardless of maintenance accessibility. This makes them ideal for replacing conventional syringe and peristaltic pumps. This also allows the pumps to be located on or near the sample arm, further reducing the required transport volume of the system. Standard LPV Pumps incorporate a stacked can motor, which creates a smaller, lighter package. A home sensor is available as an option. High Performance LPV Pumps use a hybrid stepper motor, which allows smaller dispense increments and higher pressures. Encoders and home sensors are included with these pumps, allowing positive feedback. High Performance pumps are also available with dual seals. The second seal creates a flushing chamber which allows the use of a barrier fluid. Flushing of the piston to prevent build up is also possible. ll LPV Series Pumps Offer: A Compact Size, Light Weight Low Power Consumption Maintenance Free Design Self Priming Operation

MANIFOLD TECHNOLOGY
Manifold Technology
The Lee Company Electro-Fluidic Systems Group has been an industry leader in electromechanical valve and pump technology for over three decades. Manifolds offer several advantages compared to just tubing together discrete components, such as fewer leakage points, lower internal volumes, easier assembly into the instrument, and higher reliability. Our expertise in fluidics is drawn from a solid understanding of the application and the components involved. We can incorporate solenoid valves, pumps, passive components (i.e. restrictors) and active components (i.e. transducers) into a complete assembly that has been functionally tested per the application requirements. The different manufacturing techniques used to create such manifolds include conventional, multi-layered and ant farm.
2 MANIfOlD TECHNOLOGY TECHNOlOGY 2 MANIFOLD

Conventional Manifold Technique
The conventional approach to machining a manifold is typically used when the valve count is minimal and the flow paths are straightforward. The design pattern of drilled passages enables you to locate valves as desired, with some limitations because the drilled passages must be straight and it requires the plugging of superfluous construction passageways. Integrating miniature valves into a common fluid manifold using conventional cross-drilled machining is a major step in the direction of simplifying otherwise complex valve and fluid passage configurations that once required numerous tubes from point to point.
The image above illustrates a conventional manifold design populated with LHD Series solenoid valves (Plug-In Style) mounted onto a printed circuit board. Equipped with barb ports to accommodate soft tube connection, the subsystem can be easily integrated into any unit.
Multi-Layered Manifold Technique

A multi-layered manifold is typically used when the functional requirements are more complex, which usually involves a higher valve count. This type of manifold design involves stacking together multiple layers of plates containing different machined or milled passages. The different plates are then bonded (epoxy, diffusion or solvent weld) together which allows the valves, pumps, and other fluidic sub-components to be located where appropriate for a specific application.
The image above shows a multi-layered manifold design populated with LFV Series solenoid valves.
MANIFOLD TECHNOLOGY
Ant Farm Manifold Technique
The Ant Farm Technique involves machining a series of intricate flow paths or channels into the face of the manifold. After the machining operation, a plate is bonded over the flow passages to complete the circuit. In complex applications, the channels can be milled into more than one face of the manifold block. This manifold machining technique further reduces the overall manifold size compared to the other technologies. This technology also lends itself towards building a modular design. The modular design includes provisions in the near fluid passage for O-rings to provide a seal between different sections of the manifold when mounted together. This erector-set approach to manifold construction gives the designer more flexibility, especially if the application requires a distribution plate to redirect or prevent flow from one passage to another between sections. It also allows the designer to use a spacer plate to increase dimensions between sections when an oversized component or obstruction must be accommodated on the mounting surface.
This manifold design capitalizes on the use of our Ant Farm Technique integrating multiple styles of LHD Series valves (plug-in and face mount) in order to accommodate a systems specific space constraints and flow schematic requirements. The intricate flow paths that complete the internal circuit are showcased in the image on the right, where the bond plate has been partially cut away.
This manifold design exemplifies a higher degree of capability using our Ant Farm Technique together with several LHD Series solenoid valves and other critical components (pressure transducer and regulator).
This complex manifold design demonstrates taking a modular approach while also employing our Ant Farm Technique. Four valve modules are mounted onto a distribution plate and o-rings with integrated screens are used to ensure a proper seal between the different manifold sections.
4 MANIFOLD MANIfOlD TECHNOLOGY TECHNOlOGY 4

Combination Manifold Technique
Combination manifolds are used to incorporate discrete components into a single unit. The Lee LPV Series pumps have a large machined port head. Customization of this port head can incorporate solenoid valves, connections and sensors into a single package. This technique reduces the number of connections, the need for a second manifold and the overall package size. Combining several discrete components into a single one also reduces assembly time during instrument production.
This manifold design demonstrates another level of capability where LHD Series solenoid valves can be integrated into an LPV Series pump with a custom port head.
Injection Manifold Technique

Lee injection valves minimize the fluid between the valve seat and the flow stream. This in turn minimizes carry over volumes. Staggering the valves on a multi-face manifold allows closer spacing and further reduces the length (thus volume) of the main flow passage.
The image above illustrates the use of our VHS Series solenoid valves in a custom manifold design.
MANIFOLD TECHNOLOGY
Manifold Materials
The following is a list of typical materials used for each technology. Other materials may also be available. Conventional: Stainless Steel Aluminum (Anodized) PMMA PEEK Ultem Multi-Layered: Aluminum (Anodized) PMMA Ant Farm: Aluminum (anodized for increased corrosion resistance) 3-D Printing STL: This allows quick turnaround of proof of principle parts without having to commit to the cost of hard tooling. Other materials are available. Contact The Lee Company for technical assistance.
Manifold Assembly
Manifolds are typically outfitted with inlet and outlet ports. These ports can be brass barbs, stainless steel hypo tubes, 1/4-28, M6 or any other port that is needed. To prevent contamination from rogue particles, it is standard Lee Company practice to screen all ports when space permits. The finished manifold is then populated with subcomponents. Once the manifold is fully assembled, it is tested to comply with specific application parameters to reduce installation time and eliminate start-up problems. After successfully passing all tests and certified clean, the ports are sealed to prevent any contamination during subsequent transit or handling.
Manifold Advantages
There are many advantages for using a manifold system, such as:

Custom designed, manufactured, and 100% tested from a single source Reduced assembly & installation costs Space & weight savings Manifold mountable components: Solenoid valves Pumps Components (restrictors, filters, check valves) Single fluid fittings and gang interface connections Integrated electrical components (pressure sensors, connectors, circuit boards) Warranted as a single part number Maintenance and repair service available

Lee MINSTAC Tubing End Connections
The basis of the Lee MINSTAC System is the unique Collet-Lock system, which allows the chamfering of Teflon tubing, and threading a specially designed Collet onto its end. This assembly provides a leak-proof connection from Teflon tubing to the wide range of MINSTAC components and fittings, all without the problems associated with Teflons cold flow characteristics. Standard tubing assemblies are available from stock with one or two fitting ends installed. Special lengths and fitting assembly tool kits are also available. Please request T.R. 062 for complete assembly instructions and tool kit part numbers.
The standard tubing connection sizes described below are available with a variety of inner diameters, and are capable of satisfying most fluid handling requirements.
062 MINSTAC
The 062 MINSTAC fitting system is for use with 0.062" (1.57 mm) O.D. Teflon tubing and uses a 0.138-40 UNF fitting end. This system utilizes an internally threaded Collet that grips the outer diameter of the Teflon tubing end, preventing cold flow. The Coupling Screw acts like a compression fitting and presses the chamfered end of the tubing against one end of the KEL-F Ferrule. The other end of the Ferrule is pressed against the sealing surface in the boss by the Coupling Screw. This self-aligning fitting provides the smallest most reliable leak proof system on the market today.

1. Start threading the coupling assembly into a 125 MINSTAC boss using Lee Wrench (Part Number TTTA6200227C). 2. Tighten the fitting between 7 to 21 ozf in (0.05 to 0.15 N-m) by slipping the Lee Torque Wrench (Part Number TTTA6202227A) onto the Coupling Screw hex. The minimum torque is achieved by pressing the shorter torque arm clockwise until it just contacts the longer arm. To check that maximum recommended torque is not exceeded, invert the Torque Wrench and press the longer torque arm clockwise until the Coupling Screw begins to move. This should occur before the torque arms make contact. After gaining a feel for the proper torque, use of the Torque Wrench may be discontinued.

Nozzles
Lee offers a wide range of nozzles capable of providing either a precise droplet or atomized fluid. Several mounting styles allow these nozzles to be incorporated directly onto our VHS dispensing valves, or to be connected to valves using soft flexible tubing. Dispense nozzles are available in straight tubes or with jeweled orifices (allowing tighter droplet control).
Mounting styles include:
062 MINSTAC 062 MINSTAC w/ HEX nut Straight tube for use with soft tubing
Atomizing nozzles are available in airless and air assisted models.
2 NOZZLES 2
Dispensing Nozzles
Lee dispensing nozzles with 062 threads mount into any Lee 062 MINSTAC boss. This allows the nozzle to be mounted directly onto our VHS micro-dispensing valves. Direct mounting reduces the overall package size and the fluid volume between the nozzle and valve sealing point. This reduced volume decreases the fluid reaction time (time from when the valve opens until the fluid exits the nozzle). This will also allow flow control using PWM (pulse width modulation). The hypo port design can be pressed into flexible tubing allowing remote mounting of the nozzle. This can be used to decrease the center to center spacing or to place the nozzle away from the valving. Lee offers Nitinol dispensing nozzles. These flexible nozzles can be side loaded and still return to their original shape. This prevents permanent damage when they are accidentally struck.
Atomizing Nozzles
Lee atomizing nozzles are offered in both air assisted and airless designs. The airless design provides atomization at relatively low pressure (15 psi) without the need for an external air source. These are offered in a 062 MINSTAC mounting style. Air assisted nozzles provide atomization with as little as 5 psi fluid and atomizing air pressures. These are designed for use with soft tubing. Special nozzles can be engineered for insertion into manifolds, and with coatings to reduce droplet adhesion.

Each mixing chamber induces tangentially spinning fluids to reduce their radius of rotation to allow passage into the next chamber, thus increasing angular velocity. This rapidly spinning column of liquid must then reverse its own direction of rotation in order to progress to subsequent spin chambers. The result is a vigorously repeated mixing process.

MIXING ACTION
The mixing in a Lee Visco Mixer is a relatively brief process. As shown in the table below, the throughput time of the mixer is directly related to the flow rate. The more flow, the briefer the throughput time. It is during this throughput time that the two input flows are combined together for mixing.

OV'R DRIVER

SPECIAL PRODUCTS Operating Voltage Regulating Driver (OV'R Driver)
The OVR Driver is a miniature electronic device which can be used to enhance the versatility and operating characteristics of solenoid valves. This circuit has a self-contained spike & hold voltage controller, which allows the valve to be run at various voltages to compensate for fluctuations in power sources. This circuit can also be used to enhance a solenoid valve's response time or to reduce power consumption.
Solenoid valves operated at nominal voltages are automatically dropped to a lower holding voltage resulting in lower power consumption.
Fluctuations in input voltage levels are compensated, resulting in more consistent valve performance. Allows standard valves to be energized with a high voltage, reducing response time, and then held at a lower voltage thereby reducing heating.
SPECIAL PRODUCTS
Operation
The OVR Driver is a simple three terminal device placed between the voltage source and the solenoid valve. Applying the input voltage to the circuit allows the solenoid to be energized by the OVR Driver with approximately the full input voltage for a short time period. The circuit then reduces the voltage across the solenoid valve to the holding voltage level. The voltage across the valve will remain at this holding level until power is removed from the circuit. No additional control signals are necessary.
Pulse Width
OV'R DRIVER

OV'R Valve Driver Coil
Both the spike duration and the holding voltage can be factory set to meet a variety of applications. The holding voltage, once set, is independent of the input voltage. The OVR Driver can drive any solenoid valve up to 30 vdc and 15 Watts.
Pulse Width vs. Input Voltage

A key advantage of the OVR Driver circuit is its ability to self-adjust the pulse width of the output spike voltage based on the input voltage level. As input voltage increases, the spike duration needed decreases. The holding voltage is unaffected by the input voltage level and since solenoid valves respond quicker at higher input voltages, the spike duration can be shortened, minimizing energy consumption, without affecting valve operation.

ENGINEERING REFERENCE
A Simplied System of Dening Fluid Resistance
Over the years, The Lee Company has developed the Lohm system for defining and measuring resistance to fluid flow. Just as the ohm defines electrical resistance, the Lohm or liquid ohm can be used as a measure of fluid resistance. The Lohm is defined such that 1 Lohm will flow 100 gallons per minute of water with a pressure drop of 25 psi at a temperature of 80F. Since resistance is inversely proportional to flow, by definition:
Lohms =
100 flow (gal/min H2O @ 25 psid)
1,000 Lohms will flow 0.1 GPM (378.5 mL/min.) 378,500 Lohms will flow 1 mL/min.
By using Lohms, one can specify performance without concern for coefficients of discharge, passageway geometries, physical dimensions or tolerances. The resistance of any flow configuration can be expressed in Lohms and confirmed by actual flow tests. Lohm Laws generalize the Lohm definition for calculating the resistance required to flow any liquid or gas. Lohm Laws allow the system designer to determine Lohm requirements for a particular fluid with the desired pressures and flow rates. The graph on page S8 will be helpful in relating Lohms to hole diameter and flow coefficient, C V , during the introduction of the Lohm system.
LIQUID FLOW
LOHM LAWS

The Lohm Laws predict the actual performance of fluidic devices beyond the definition conditions of water at 25 psid and 80F. The Liquid Flow Lohm Law is shown below and the Gas Flow Lohm Law can be found on page S16. In Liquid Flow several variables must be related, including: I = Flow rate H = Differential pressure V = Viscosity correction factor.V factors compensate for the interaction of viscosity and device geometry and are unique to each class of device. See page S7 for a graph of V factors for typical Lee orifices. S = Specific gravity K = A constant to take care of units of measure. See page S6 for table of values KV H Lohms = The Lohm Law for Liquid Flow is: I S 2 I2 S KV H Lohms I = H = Lohms S K2 V 2 When testing with water at 25 psid ( H = 5), 80F and flow rate in gallons per minute, 100 100 Lohms = I = I Lohms Notes: 1. V and S are equal to 1 for water at 80F 20 .67 2. Lohms = = and C d d 2 C v d = orifice diameter (inches) C d = coefficient of discharge C v = flow coefficient C v = 30 C d d 2
For special flow requirements, The Lee Company can determine the required Lohm rating.

LIQUID FLOW EXAMPLES
Problem 1. A restrictor is required to flow 0.1 GPM of 50/50 ethylene glycol/water blend (specific gravity = 1.07) at 45F and 6 psid. How many Lohms are required? Solution: 1. Read kinematic viscosity; v = 5.0 cs from curve on pages S53-54. 2. Use v and P to determine viscosity correction factor, V = .87, from curve on page S7. 3. Select unit constant K from table on page S6. 4. Compute Lohms required. V H .87 6 = 412 Lohms L = 20 = 20 I S .1 1.07
Problem 2. What pressure drop will result from a flow of 57 mL/min. of 50/50 ethylene glycol/water mixture (specific gravity = 1.07) at 45F, flowing through a 1000 Lohm restrictor? Solution: 1. Find viscosity from pages S53-54. v = 5 cs 2. Use knowledge of system to assume initial solution. H = 4 psid 3. Use assumed H to determine V = 0.75 from table on page S7. 4. Select units constant K from table on page S6. 5. Compute trial P I 2 L2 57 1000 2 H = S = 1.07 = 1.08 psid K 2 V 2 75700 .75

LIQUID FLOW TWO FORMULAS FOR COMBINATIONS OF RESTRICTORS

For parallel flow, the total Lohm rating is: 1 1 1 1 1 = + + + + L T L 1 L 2 L 3 L N

Please note that this relationship is identical to the electrical equation. Example: PARALLEL FLOW
L1 L2 L3
L 1 = 2,000 Lohms L2 = 3,000 Lohms L3 = 5,000 Lohms
1 1 1 1 = + + = .00103 and therefore L T 2000 3000 5000 L T = 970 Lohms For Series Flow, the total Lohm rating is: L T = L12 + L 22 + L32 + + L N2
Please note that this relationship is not the same as in electrical problems. The difference is due to the non-linearity of I 2 L2 S H = K2 V 2 Example: L 1 L 2 L3 SERIES FLOW:

L T =
2,000 2 + 3,000 2 + 5,0002 = 6,164 Lohms
When L 1 = L2 = L3 , then L T = L N N = Number of equal resistors in series For passageway size: D T = D N 1/4

F = Force in lbs. H = psid
These forces are produced by locally high (or low) pressure gradients, and should be added to the forces produced by the static pressure. It is often useful to sketch these pressure gradients to determine the direction of the momentum forces. EXAMPLE: Where a liquid changes direction. Fmomentum = H = 990 = L 600 1.7 lbf
The momentum force of 1.6 lbs. in this example must be added to the force produced by static pressure on the plate (of .1 in.2 x 10 psi = 1 lb.) to give the total force on the plate.
EXAMPLE: Where a liquid changes speed. SI2 L 1 x 22 x 100 Fmomentum = = = 1 lbf 400 400 The momentum force of 1lb. in this example must be subtracted from the force produced by static pressure on the plate (of 0.1 x [3000-2900] = 10 lb.) to give the total force on the piston.

FLUID POWER DISSIPATION
Whenever there is flow through an orifice, there is a power consumption (or loss) which is a function of the pressure drop and the flow rate. The following data is useful in calculating the hydraulic power requirements of a system. H x I When H = psi P H.P. = 1714 I = GPM flow rate The hydraulic power can also be expressed in another convenient form.
3 H.P. = 0.0117 H /2 L
or
0.0117 H L
Since 1 H.P. = 746 watts, the above formula can be:

3 8.70 H Watts = 8.70 H /2 or L L
The nomogram on the next page shows this relationship.
EXAMPLE:
A Lee Valve rated at 400 Lohms will flow 0.35 GPM at 50 psid. At those conditions, what horsepower is lost? H.P. = H x I = 50 x 0.35 1714 1714 H.P. = 0.010

GAS vs. LIQUID CALIBRATION
Most EFS products are calibrated on gas for both gas and liquid service. Should it be necessary to use a gas calibrated component for liquid service, or a liquid calibrated component for gas service, the following factors should be considered. Allowance should be made for variations in liquid/gas correlation of up to 15%. This is caused by the response of different fluids to the orifice geometry. Single-orifice restrictors will correlate directly from gas to liquid service, subject to the 15% normal variation. Multi-orifice restrictors will correlate directly only when the pneumatic pressure ratio is very low (P1 / P2 < 1.2). When Multi-orifice restrictors are used at higher pressure ratios, the gas flow will be up to 30% higher than expected from a liquid calibration. This is caused by gas compressibility which results in a non-uniform distribution of pressure drops through the restrictor. WARNING: Do not substitute hydraulic restrictors in gas applications, or vice versa, without first considering the application and correlation accuracy.

Every engineer will be interested in our simple system of defining the fluid resistance of Lee components. Just as the OHM is used in the electrical industry, we find that we can use the Liquid OHM or Lohm to quantify the restriction of hydraulic or pneumatic components. When using the Lohm system for pneumatics, the effect of flow in the subsonic region and the compressibility of gases is corrected for in the Lohm calculations. The resistance to flow of any component can be expressed in Lohms.
The Lohm has been selected so that a 100 Lohm restriction will permit a flow of 250 standard liters per minute of nitrogen at a temperature of 59F, and an upstream pressure of 90 psia discharging to atmosphere.
The graph on the following page relates Lohms to hole diameter for a single orifice restrictor.

The Lohm Laws extend the definition of Lohms for gas flow at any pressure and temperature, and with any gas. The formulas work well for all gases because they are corrected for the specific gas, and for the flow region and incompressibility of low pressure gases.

ABSOLUTE PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
Gas flow is a function of upstream absolute pressure, and of the ratio of upstream to downstream pressures. Lohm testing done at The Lee Company is performed at an upstream pressure which is high enough so that downstream pressure does not affect the flow rate. To accurately determine the upstream absolute pressure, it is necessary to measure atmospheric pressure with a suitable barometer. This measurement will normally be in units of in. Hg, while the gauge pressure reading is in units of psig. Thus, the barometer reading must be converted to psia, and added to the gauge reading to get the value of pressure in psia.
Pres. (psia) = Pres. (psig) + 0.4912 x Pres. (in. Hg @ 32F.)
EXAMPLE: What single-orifice restriction will permit a flow of 2.00 std L/min. of nitrogen at 70F, with supply pressure at 10 psig, discharging to an atmospheric pressure of 29.5 in. Hg. K = 276 (see pages S18-19) T1 = 70F, f T = 1.00 (see page S17) P2 = 0.4912 x 29.5 = 14.5 psia. P1 = 10.0 + 14.5 = 24.5 psia. P1 / P2 = 24.5/14.5 = 1.69 (subsonic) P = 24.5-14.5 = 10.0 psid.

GAS FLOW CHARACTERISTICS
LOHM LAWS
22
When selecting components for use in a gas system, certain factors must be considered which arise only because of the compressibility of the gaseous medium. The nature of gas compressibility is defined by the following two rules: Boyles Law The pressure and specific volume of a gas are inversely proportional to each other under conditions of constant temperature. Charles Law The pressure and temperature of a gas are directly proportional to each other when the volume is held constant, and the volume and temperature are directly proportional when the pressure is held constant. Thus, a gas will expand to fill any container, and pressure and temperature will adjust to values consistent with the above rules. Gas flowing through valves and restrictors will be subject to an increasing specific volume as pressure drops take place, and temperatures will change as determined by the Joule-Thomson effect. The combination of the above rules forms the basis for the Equation of State for perfect gases. This allows either pressure, temperature, or volume to be calculated for a known quantity of gas when the other two variables are known. i.e. pV=mRT (see page S26 for values of gas constant, R)
In general, the following comments apply to gas flow: 1. Gas flow at high pressure ratios (P1 / P2 > 1.9) is directly proportional to the up stream absolute pressure. 2. Gas flow at moderate pressure ratios (1.1 < P1 / P2 < 1.9) is proportional to the downstream absolute pressure, and to the pressure differential (see page S16).
Continued on next page.
LOHM LAWS
23
GAS FLOW CHARACTERISTICS (continued)

3. Gas flow at low pressure ratios (P1 / P2 < 1.1) is proportional to the pressure differential, similar to hydraulic flow. 4. When restrictions appear in series, the most downstream restrictor dominates in the determination of flow rate. 5. When the absolute pressure ratio across a restrictor is above 1.9, the gas velocity will reach the speed of sound (sonic flow) in the restrictor throat. When restrictors appear in series the overall pressure ratio must be even higher. 6. When equal restrictors appear in series, sonic flow can only occur in the most downstream restrictor. 7. Velocity of the gas stream cannot exceed the speed of sound in either a constant area duct, or a converging section. The Rule of Forbidden Signals: * The effect of pressure changes produced by a body moving at a speed faster than the speed of sound cannot reach points ahead of the body. This rule can be applied to pneumatic flow restrictors where the body is not moving, but the flow velocity relative to the body can reach, or exceed, the speed of sound. Whenever the downstream pressure is low enough to produce Mach 1 at the restrictor throat, any effect of changes in the downstream pressure cannot reach points upstream of the throat. Thus, flow rate will be independent of downstream pressure. This situation applies to a single orifice restrictor flowing air when the overall pressure ratio exceeds 1.89/1 * von Krmn, Jour. Aero. Sci., Vol. 14, No. 7 (1947)
MOMENTUM FORCES GAS FLOW
When a flowing stream of gas is subject to a change in velocity (either speed or direction), forces arise which are the reaction to the change in momentum of the stream. This is particularly important in valve design where the position of a moving element may be affected.
LOHM LAWS
24
The direction in which the momentum force acts is always opposite to the acceleration which is imparted to the flow stream. The magnitude of the force may be calculated by using the momentum Lohm Laws which apply to air at near room temperature. F = 0.4 x P1 SLPM F = L 700 (sonic flow)
EXAMPLE: Where a gas changes direction. 0.4 x P1 0.4 x 1000 F = = L 2000 = 0.2 lbf.
The momentum force of 0.2 lbs. in this example must be added to the force produced by static pressure on the plate (0.1 in.2 x 10 psi = 1 lb.) to give the total force on the plate.
EXAMPLE: Where a gas changes speed. SLPM 35 F = = 700 700 = 0.05 lbf.
The momentum force of 0.05 lb. in this example must be subtracted from the force produced by static pressure on the plate (0.1 in.2 x [100-50] = 5 lb.) to give the total force on the piston.

TRANSIENT GAS FLOW
This type of flow normally concerns the charging of a vol ume through a fixed resistance such as an orifice. Use of the Lohm system simplifies the calculation of the time re quired to blow down or charge up a vessel. The first step is to calculate system time constant, , which takes into consideration the type of gas, pressure vessel volume, absolute temperature, and flow resistance. The time constant is given by: = 4 fT V L K
Note: Select K from the appropriate psia column of the Volumetric Flow Table on page S18. Keep the units of pressure vessel volume (V) consistent with the volumetric flow units. The larger the value of , the more sluggish the system. Once has been calculated, the ratio of upstream pressure to downstream pressure for both the initial and final condi tions must be computed. Then, from the pressureratio graph, initial and final values for N can be found. N is the number of system time constants required for the system to reach equilibrium. If the final condition is equilibrium, where upstream and downstream pressures are equal, the final pressure ratio is 1 and the final value of N is 0. With these values, the time for the system to blow down or charge up can be calculated from: t = (N i - Nf ) t = Time (sec.)

TUBING FLOW
29
RESISTANCE TO FLOW IN TUBING
The Lohm Laws, described in the preceding pages, accurately relate flow, pressure drop, and Lohm rating for individual components. For tubing, however, these variables are best related in graph form. The following graphs show pressure drop and flow rate for four different standard sizes of tubing offered by The Lee Company. A 10 cm length of tubing is used in the graphs. If your flow problem involves longer tubing length, increase the pressure drop proportionately.
Example: To find the pressure drop for a 30 cm length of Lee Company standard 0.032 I.D. tubing flowing 100 mL/min. of water, begin by consulting the water flow graph. From the graph, you determine that the pressure drop is 4 psia for a 100 mL/min. flow rate. Adjust this to your length of 30 cm by ratio:
30 cm 10 cm
x 4 psid = 12 psid
Due to slight variations that normally occur in the tubing I.D., these flow calculations for tubing are not exact, but are useful for most design work.

CONTAMINATION

CONTAMINATION Fluidic System Cleanliness
The number one cause of hydraulic and fluidic system failure is contamination. Every fluidic system is sensitive to this. The degree of sensitivity is usually determined by the smallest passage in the system. This may be an orifice, a valve seat or clearance between two components. Contaminants enter the system in one of several ways: Dirty or contaminated fluid Debris introduced when the system is opened (i.e. maintenance, tubing changes, fluid replenishment etc.) Debris built into the system The simplest problem is the fluid. This must be filtered to the proper micron level. Any new fluid added to the system must also be properly filtered. Introduction of contamination during maintenance is a design issue. Any point in the system that needs to be opened should have a safety screen downstream, prior to sensitive components. The third scenario, building in contamination is usually an assembly and housekeeping issue. All components, including filters, contain debris. These are from the manufacturing process, packaging, shipping, storage and even handling prior to final assembly. Sintered filters may have small loose particles while machined manifolds may contain loose metal shavings or burrs. All components should be flushed prior to assembly. This removes loose particles and prevents them from entering the fluidic system. In critical systems it may be necessary to flush the system as it is assembled, starting from the reservoir moving out to the final dispense tip.

OHMS LAW
Electrical energy is governed by several basic laws. The first, Ohms law, is similar to the Lohm law and defines the resistance of a device to the flow of electrons. V = I x R V = electric potential (volts) I = current (amperes) R = resistance (ohms)
When current passes through a resistance, power is dissipated in the form of heat, as in an oven. Power is calculated by the following: P = V x I P = power (watts)
These equations allow any one of the four electrical parameters to be expressed in terms of any other two. A reference table of derived expressions is given below.

LEE SOLENOID VALVE DRIVE CIRCUIT SCHEMATICS
The coil inductance and the resistance affect the valves response time by opposing changes in the coil current. The time constant shown in the preceding table is the time required for the current in a valve coil to reach 63% of its steady state value, when subjected to a step voltage input. When the solenoid valve is turned off, the energy stored in the coils magnetic field will be dissipated by some means, usually through a diode to keep the circuit operation within predictable, safe limits. Several proven circuit designs to optimize response time or power consumption are presented on the following pages. These designs are typical circuits and components listed are typical for Lee solenoid valves. For additional circuits (for specific valves or pumps), contact The Lee Company for assistance.

Spike and Hold Driver Schematic (Lee Drawing LFIX1001750A)
This circuit can be used as either an enhanced response time driver or as a low power consumption driver. As an enhanced response time driver, select V1 (usually 2-4 times the rated voltage of the valve being driven) as required to obtain the desired valve response. V2 is the nominal rated valve voltage. Choose values for R1 and C1 to determine V1 pulse duration. As a low power consumption driver, V1 is the rated valve voltage and R1 2V2 is one half the value of V1. This serves to provide full actuation voltage to the valve, which reduces the 10 K applied voltage by 50%, thus reducing the valves power consumption by 75%. 1/4 W 1 8

Fast Response Driver Schematic (Lee Drawing LFIX1001800A)
The response time of most Lee solenoid valves can be reduced by operating the valve at a higher than normal supply voltage in conjunction with a properly selected zener diode. When used in this manner, care must be taken that the power rating of the valve is not exceeded. Excessive heat may cause damage. Calculate the power (P = V2 /R) and multiply this by the percent on time in the duty cycle. The result is the mean power dissipation, which should be less than the valves maximum power rating. Shown below is a typical circuit designed to enhance the response time of a Lee solenoid valve.

Latching Valve Driver Schematic (H-Bridge Design)
The Lee Company's LHL Series latching valves are designed to operate on 10 ms (min), bi-directional pulses. When integrating these latching valves into a system, only a single driving supply is needed. An H-Bridge circuit can be used to switch current direction (an additional logic supply may also be needed depending on the individual application). Most H-Bridge drivers such as Freescale's 17529 or 33886 would be suitable for the task, depending on how many valves are to be driven, the valve's specified voltage, PCB space constraints, etc. Regardless of the H-Bridge used, the following tips should lead to success when designing an electrical circuit to drive such a valve. 1. Connect the logic supply and driving supply.These are normally separate power supplies (one to drive the logic circuitry in the application, such as microproces- sors, and another to drive the valves themselves), though they can be the same supply under certain circumstances.
2. Connect any enable/disable inputs of the H-Bridge to the appropriate logic. If the H-Bridge is to remain on, connect the enable/disable input(s) to HIGH or LOW (depending on which level asserts the input). 3. Ensure that any charge pump capacitors are attached. Refer to the H-Bridge manufacturer's data sheet and use the recommended values. 4. Design adequate power supply decoupling. This can often be achieved by connecting capacitors across the supply terminals. The H-Bridge manufacturer's data sheet may have device-specific tips. 5. Design the logic which will control the H-Bridge. This can be done easily with a microprocessor or with combinational logic. The basic logic is described below: a. To switch the valve for Common to Port-A flow... i. Enable the H-Bridge if it is not already enabled. Refer to the H-Bridge's data sheet to determine whether or not the disable-enable delay is short enough to enable/disable on the fly. ii. Drive the H-Bridge in its forward operation mode. The exact logic to do this will be in the H-Bridge manufacturer's data sheet, though it typically involves setting one input HIGH and another LOW. This will apply current in the forward direction through the valve. iii. Wait 10 ms (min). This will allow the valve to shuttle and become magnetically latched. iv. Stop current to the valve. This can be done by either disabling the H-Bridge (in which case the enable-disable delay of the device should be investigated) or by setting both H-Bridge inputs to either HIGH or LOW. b. To switch the valve for Common to Port-B flow i. Enable the H-Bridge if it is not already enabled. Refer to the H-Bridge's data sheet to determine whether or not the disable-enable delay is short enough to enable/disable on the fly.

ii. Drive the H-Bridge in its reverse operation mode. The exact logic to do this will be in the H-Bridge manufacturer's data sheet, though it typically involves setting one input HIGH and another LOW. This will apply current in the reverse direction through the valve. iii. Wait 10 ms (min). This will overcome the magnetic latching force and allow the valve to shuttle in the other direction. iv. Stop current to the valve. This can be done by either disabling the H- bridge (in which case the enable-disable delay of the device should be investigated) or by setting both H-Bridge inputs to either HIGH or LOW. An example utilizing Freescale's 17529 as an H-Bridge drive with two LHLA0521111H valves is shown below. This sample implements two, 5 volt valves, cycling at 10 Hz. The valves are cycled at different times to reduce peak power supply current. Refer to the waveform in the graph on the following page.

GLOSSARY
This glossary serves to introduce the user to the terminology used throughout this handbook. These descriptions are proposed to serve as a reference point in product discussions to eliminate problems of definition. While these terms are subject to different interpretation throughout various technologies, it is proposed that these definitions be adhered to throughout industry, to unify their usage. Accuracy: The degree of error between the intended, specified, or nominal property value and actual value. Typically used to define the performance envelope of a production lot of parts about the specified nominal. Normally used to relate single-event performance of multiple parts. Compare to PRECISION. Ambient Temperature: Temperature of the media surrounding external surfaces of a valve. Axial Mixing: See FLUSHABILITY. Burst Pressure: The maximum pressure a valve can endure before it will break. Carry-over Volume: See CROSSOVER VOLUME Coefcient of Variation (CV): Defined as the standard deviation of a distribution divided by the mean value. This value, expressed in percent, reflects the degree of spread of data and is used to define the consistency of the performance or of dispensed volumes, etc. Coil Voltage: Voltage at the electrical connector pins in which the coil must energize if the valve is to perform as stated in the specifications. Continuous Duty: Coils rated for continuous duty are designed to be energized continuously without overheating to failure. Crossover Volume: (Dead-leg Volume, Carry-over Volume) Any internal-geometrydependent volumetric error introduced by the valve internal volume between the valving point and the common flow point. Most commonly used in discussions of three-way valves, it refers to the unwashed slug of material between the flowing passage and the closed port seal. Crosstalk: (Intra-port Flow) Any response-time-dependent flow or pressure variation between any two valves or two ports of a three-way valve. For example, this term refers to the flow that takes place between the NC and NO ports of the three-way valve in the time between the beginning of actuation and the end of actuation, when both ports are partially open. Dead-leg Volume: See CROSSOVER VOLUME Dead Volume: The actual non-flushable volumes of any component or system flow passages, where a dead-end passageway or cavity could retain materials to contaminate subsequent sample or flow media. This value is highly subjective, as many factors come into play to determine the actual dead volume such as miscibility, viscosity, binding energy, etc. The quantity of the former sample still retained inside the component after flushing with some specified volume is defined as dead volume. De-energized: No power applied to the coil. A normally closed valve is closed when the coil is de-energized. Differential Pressure ( P): Pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of a valve.

Duty Cycle: The ratio of "on" time to "total cycle" time. If a valve is on for 2 seconds and off for 8 seconds, the total cycle time is 10 seconds and the duty cycle is 20%. Energized: Power applied to the solenoid valve coil causing the valve to change state. A normally closed valve will open when energized. Flushability: (Axial Mixing) The degree of dispersion or band-broadening introduced by a component into a flowing stream. Sometimes referred to as axial mixing, it defines the stretching of a slug of sample as it passes through a component. Usually discussed in relative or qualitative terms, as the specific definition of this characteristic is somewhat complex. Intra-port Flow: See CROSSTALK Normally Closed: A normally closed valve is closed when de-energized, preventing flow. When energized, the valve opens allowing flow. Normally Open: A normally open valve is open when de-energized, allowing flow. When energized, the valve closes preventing flow. Operating Pressure: The pressure at which the valve is operating. Proof Pressure: The level of pressure which may be applied to the valve without causing permanent damage. Repeatability (Precision): The repeatability of any function. Used in reference to valve response times or dispensed volumes. Usually specified in terms of the percent tolerance about the nominal, specified, or mean value. Used to express the total variability of a single component over multiple events. Repeatability means consistency of performance even if the performance is not accurate. Response Time: This term defines the lag time between the input of a control signal and the resulting response of the system or component being monitored. Typical use of the response time with a passive component could define the time lag between a pressure pulse input to a check valve, and the time to close or open the valve seat in response to that pulse. The more common usage is in reference to active components, such as solenoid valves. This term then typically defines the time from beginning of a normal voltage step-input drive signal, and the pneumatic output from the valve port that is opening or closing as a result of that signal. For further discussion of response times, contact The Lee Company.
