SUMMARY

The discussion centers on optimizing the cycling speed of a venturi pump using a solenoid valve. The user requires a valve capable of cycling approximately 7 times per second to generate short, sharp bursts of air. Recommendations for faster valve types or regulators are sought to enhance performance. The focus is on achieving rapid on/off cycling to improve the efficiency of the venturi pump operation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of venturi pump mechanics
  • Knowledge of solenoid valve specifications
  • Familiarity with pneumatic systems
  • Basic principles of fluid dynamics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research high-speed pneumatic valves suitable for rapid cycling
  • Explore alternative valve types such as poppet or spool valves
  • Investigate the impact of driver fluid characteristics on valve performance
  • Learn about optimizing venturi pump configurations for enhanced efficiency
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, pneumatic system designers, and anyone involved in optimizing venturi pump performance will benefit from this discussion.

I am looking to cycle on/off rapidly a venturi pump. I am using a solenoid valve but is there a recommendation for a quicker valve type or regulator? Speed is my most important requirement. Thank you.

What fluid are you pumping, gas or liquid?
What is your driver fluid, gas or liquid?
I presume you want to generate short, sharp bursts of driver fluid. How sharp?
 
Air. Yes, I need to create very short, sharp bursts of air into a venturi vacuum pump. I need to cycle about 7 times per second.
