Solenoid coils
Solenoid coils in LPG/CNG systems
Solenoid coils are the electromagnetic components of the LPG/CNG system responsible for controlling the flow of gas to the engine.
Functions of the solenoid coils
Control of gas flow: The solenoid coils open and close the solenoid valves in the multi-valve, regulating the flow of gas to the engine.
Installation protection: The solenoid coils can be equipped with safety features, such as automatic gas shut-off in the event of a fault.
Control system compatibility: The solenoid coils are compatible with the control system of the gas installation, allowing precise control of the gas flow.
Types of solenoid coils
Different types of solenoid coils are available, varying in supply voltage and power:
12V coils: Most commonly used in LPG systems.
24V coils: Used in some CNG installations.
Assembly of solenoid coils
Installation of solenoid coils should be carried out by a qualified gas fitter. Assembly includes:
Selection of suitable coils: The coils must be matched to the type of multi-valve and gas installation.
Connection of the coils to the electrical system: The coils are connected to the car's electrical system using electrical wires.
Attaching the coils to the multi-valve: The coils are attached to the multi-valve using screws or other fasteners.
Important notes
Use solenoid coils from reputable manufacturers to ensure a safe and durable installation. The most popular coils in the ZAMEL autogas Biała Podlaska offer include VALTEK coils, Lovato coils, KME coils and Tomasetto coils.
Assembly of solenoid coils should be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Regularly check the condition of the solenoid coils for defects.
Faults in solenoid coils
Defects in the solenoid coils can cause problems with the operation of the gas system, such as:
Difficulty starting the engine on gas.
Irregular operation of the engine on gas.
Decrease in engine power.
Gas leaks.
If you suspect a solenoid coil fault, contact a qualified gas fitter for diagnosis and repair.
