The Alstom OPTIPOW 105 V1617803-0100 valve is a 24V DC compact piston pulse jet cleaning valve designed for use in industrial dust collection systems, especially baghouse filters (fabric filters). It provides high-speed compressed air pulses to remove dust buildup from filter bags and maintain efficient filtration performance.
Product Overview
- Manufacturer: Alstom (Environmental Control Systems division)
- Series: OPTIPOW
- Model: OPTIPOW 105
- Part Number: V1617803-0100
- Valve Type: Compact piston / plunger pulse valve
- Solenoid Voltage: 24V DC
- Application: Pulse jet cleaning of fabric filter systems
- Piston Diameter: Approximately 105 mm (the number “105” refers to the plunger/piston diameter)
How the OPTIPOW 105 Works
The OPTIPOW 105 uses a piston-type pulse cleaning mechanism rather than a conventional large diaphragm valve.
Operating sequence:
- The 24V DC solenoid receives an electrical signal from the dust collector controller.
- The pilot valve opens and releases control air pressure.
- The piston/plunger moves rapidly.
- A large volume of compressed air is discharged into the blow pipe.
- The air pulse travels through the filter tubes or bags, knocking dust particles into the hopper.
This fast pulse action helps maintain low differential pressure across the filter and improves dust collector efficiency.
Main Features
1. Compact Design
The OPTIPOW 105 is smaller than many traditional diaphragm pulse valves, allowing closer installation spacing on pressure tanks and filter systems.
2. High Cleaning Performance
The piston design provides:
- Fast opening and closing response
- Strong air shock wave
- Effective dust cake removal
- Reduced compressed air consumption compared with some conventional designs
3. Robust Industrial Construction
The valve is designed for harsh dust collection environments such as:
- Power plants
- Cement plants
- Steel mills
- Mining operations
- Metallurgical processes
- Industrial production facilities
4. Operating Conditions
Typical specifications include:
- Maximum working pressure: about 600 kPa (6 bar)
- Normal maximum operating temperature: approximately 50°C for standard versions

OPTIPOW 105 vs OPTIPOW 135
| Model | Piston Diameter | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| OPTIPOW 105 | 105 mm | Medium cleaning requirements |
| OPTIPOW 135 | 135 mm | Higher airflow and stronger cleaning pulse |
The OPTIPOW 135 provides a larger pulse output, while the OPTIPOW 105 is commonly selected for smaller or medium-size filter systems.
Summary
The Alstom OPTIPOW 105 V1617803-0100 is a 24V DC piston pulse valve used for automatic cleaning of dust collector filter bags. Its compact design, rapid response, and efficient compressed-air usage make it a widely used valve in industrial filtration systems where reliable dust removal is required.
It is essentially the 105 mm piston version of the OPTIPOW pulse valve family, while the OPTIPOW 135 is the larger-capacity model.
