I think I'd be looking at a which mount whilst it's all exposed like that...
When you de energise an inductor, the collapsing field creates back EMF and the polarity is the opposite of the supply voltage, this absorbed by a suppression circuit. Nothing will make a solenoid armature with a half kilo spring pressure behind it drop slowly, indeed it is important that the spring pressure is sufficient to overcome the air pressure differential in all shock load conditions and keep the valve closed.View attachment 166154
You may have got the soft drop idea from the Land Rover stylised wave forms with are a bit different from reality, but even they show that there is a only a 10 micro second delay from the ECU output switching off to voltage being removed from the solenoid and less than 10 milli seconds later there is no current flow of any form. 10 milli seconds is pretty darn quick in mechanical terms.
The real wave forms are a bit different, it is not possible to produce a square voltage waveform from a transistor into an inductor, the actual wave form is a good deal more messy.
Story with those headlights man? Mint headlights, literally. Thanks! NIce of you to say. I got carried away. I made an air compressor bracket, this is how I tension it.
Im going to make a winch mount yes. I'm going to make a ton of stuff. I am building a cnc first though, so I just want to get this repaired and road legal for now. The EAS system is screwed. I've redone the valve block and repaired lines. Putting the radiator back in tonight / tomo. Have to wire up an X-eng Fan switch first. All in good time. So much to get though.
A contentious thread I'm not sure I want to have. I have stress in work and I dont need stress in my leisure time.
My whole air system is on steroids. it's going to be a lot quicker to rise. I have upgraded the compressor and used a 1/2" line from the compressor direct to the air tank, and then from the air tank to the valve block. The lines from the vlave block to the airbags are the same though.
I don't want arguements so I have been using metalworking forums to document this process. Which seems a shame since an EDC is an interesting upgrade and easy to do.
Maybe best if I just continue this thread.
Wammers yes, and appreciate your reply, good to have someone that has a clue to ask questions of.
Correct me if I get any of this wrong, I'm not pretending to be anything other than an amatuer.
The valve block flow rate is dictated by the size of the channels in the valve block, which is true troughout any air system, the size of the channels dictates how fast or slow the system reacts.
Whats in my head is not that complicated, but I'll do a diagram later tonight to better illustrate what I'm trying to say / ask / do.
In work at the moment, sitting beside my boss, so better make like I'm working.
