1. Model Code Breakdown (DSE3-A04/11N-D24K1)
【表格】
Code Description
DSE3 Series identifier (DSE series: High-pressure wet-armature directional valves for high-frequency switching)
A04 Valve configuration and position: - A: Two-position (2/2) - 04: Center-closed (P port blocked, A/B ports interconnected)
11N Port type and nominal size: - 11: ISO 4401 standard subplate mounting, 6-hole flange - N: Nominal diameter 11 mm (flow capacity ~80 L/min)
D24K1 Solenoid specifications: - D24: 24V DC voltage - K1: Manual override (K=manual, 1=single solenoid)
Additional Notes:
• Center-closed (A04): In neutral position, P port is blocked while A/B ports remain interconnected, suitable for hydraulic cylinder floating or pressure holding.
• Wet-armature solenoid: Coil is immersed in hydraulic oil for superior heat dissipation (lifespan ≥10 million cycles), but requires regular hydraulic oil replacement.

3. Structure and Operating Principle
• Valve Design:
• Two-position, four-way (2/4) spool valve with spring return.
• Neutral function:P port blocked, A/B ports interconnected(for cylinder floating or pressure retention).
• Solenoid Design:
• Wet-armature solenoid with oil-immersed coil for extended lifespan.
• Manual override (K1): Rotary handle for manual valve shifting during power failure or emergencies.
• Operation:
1. Energized State: Solenoid generates magnetic force, shifting the spool against spring tension to redirect flow.
2. De-energized State: Spring returns spool to neutral position (P blocked, A/B interconnected).
3. Manual Mode: Handle directly actuates spool position.
------
4. Typical Applications
• Construction Machinery:
• Floating control of excavator boom/arm (neutral A/B interconnection enables free swing).
• Luffing mechanism safety holding in cranes (pressure retention during power loss).
• Industrial Equipment:
• Floating adjustment of injection molding machine clamping cylinders (neutral function avoids hydraulic shock).
• Rapid direction reversal in die-casting machines (response time ≤10 ms).
• General Systems:
• Closed-loop hydraulic circuits requiring cylinder floating.
• Hydraulic systems needing manual override during emergencies.

5. Installation and Commissioning Guide
• Mounting Requirements:
• Vertical installation (spool axis vertical) to prevent lateral force-induced sticking.
• Solenoid oriented upward to minimize oil ingress into the coil (wet design optimized, but avoid prolonged tilting).
• Electrical Connection:
• 24V DC power supply; incorrect polarity may damage the solenoid.
• Recommend adding a flyback diode to suppress reverse EMF.
• Commissioning Steps:
1. Manually shift spool to neutral; verify stable system pressure (P blocked, A/B pressures equal).
2. Energize solenoid; test spool shifting and monitor A/B port pressure changes.
3. Adjust spring preload (if required) to ensure neutral position sealing.

6. Common Faults and Solutions
【表格】
Symptom Probable Cause Solution
Spool Sticking Oil contamination, spring failure Clean spool, replace spring, filter hydraulic oil
High Leakage Seal degradation, valve scoring Replace O-rings, lap valve body mating surfaces
Solenoid Inaction Coil burnout, power failure Test coil resistance (≥8Ω), replace solenoid
Slow Response
Low voltage, high oil viscosity
Verify power stability, use low-temperature oil
