Seems to be what i expected . 2 shots in…..
One observation. Moving it around in this stripped back state sure cuts some Kg’s but its still heavy!!
Surprisingly you only need to lightly touch the front whilst pulling the lever to keep it stable without the counter weight and frame fitted .
Will rebuild it all asap.
Note on solenoid choice.
I was a bit(!) paranoid reading the specs of Direct acting solenoid valves about wanting full flow to the evo manifold (what is it’s propper name?)
Many direct acting solenoid valves (i decided direct was necessary due to on off speed being circa 50ms where semi direct were circa 750ms)
The coil would have been much smaller if id gone semi direct or smaller orifice.
But, id got my mind focussed on 6mm orifice for flow and many are 1,2,3mm
Once you get to 6mm most are quoting max pressure of 1 bar or less
My next paranoia was “ what if i go too low on max pressure capability and i get bypass (yes i know the max I’m going to get even unregulated to the filter is 4 bars, but!!!)”
So i decided 6mm orifice 5 bars max 230v AC, NC and ended up with this beast 😁
Maybe i could have gone a bit lower on that spec but its better safe than sorry.
What is this valve called? Just curiosity.
