DAC Worldwide’s ACR Solenoid Valve Cutaway (373-502) is a professionally sectioned example of a solenoid valve commonly used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. These electrically operated valves control refrigerant or gas flow and may be encountered in compressor unloading, pump-down cycles, heat pump systems, and multi-unit temperature-control applications.
A carefully planned cutaway of the valve body and actuator area reveals the internal flow path, disc, seat, spring, sealing O-ring, plunger, and electromagnetic coil. The sectioned surfaces are painted and internal components are color-coded to make their geometry and relationship easier to identify.
The full-size industrial component helps learners connect HVAC/R theory with the construction and operation of an actual solenoid valve. It supports instruction in valve operation, refrigerant-flow control, system troubleshooting, maintenance, and preventive and predictive maintenance.
The ACR Solenoid Valve Cutaway exposes the valve’s internal components while retaining its operational characteristics. Learners can examine how energizing the coil creates a magnetic field that moves the plunger and changes the valve’s position.
Mounted on a formed-steel, powder-coated modular display panel, the cutaway can be used on a tabletop or with compatible DAC Worldwide display, storage, and workstation products. Its compact presentation makes it suitable for instructor demonstrations, small-group activities, and independent examination.
The valve is cleaned, primed, and finished with a durable urethane coating to withstand frequent classroom and laboratory use. Carefully selected cutaway areas provide visibility into the valve without obscuring the relationship between its primary components.
Pair the ACR Solenoid Valve Cutaway with other DAC Worldwide HVAC/R component cutaways to compare different valve designs, operating principles, and system applications.
