Solenoid Valve

A solenoid valve is used to control the flow of liquids or gases in various industrial applications. It operates electrically, allowing for automated fluid control.

A solenoid valve uses an electromagnetic coil to open or close a valve, regulating the flow of fluid. When electricity is applied, the coil generates a magnetic field, which moves a plunger or diaphragm to control the fluid passage.

Solenoid valves can handle various fluids, including water, air, steam, oil, and gas, depending on the valve material and design. It is important to choose a valve compatible with the specific fluid in your application.

Common types include direct-acting, pilot-operated, two-way, three-way, and four-way solenoid valves. The selection depends on the application and required control mechanism.

Consider factors such as the type of fluid, operating pressure, flow rate, voltage requirement, and response time. Compatibility with system requirements is crucial for optimal performance.

Solenoid valves are available in different voltage options, including AC (e.g., 110V, 220V) and DC (e.g., 12V, 24V). The choice depends on the power supply available in your system.

Yes, some solenoid valves are designed for high-temperature or high-pressure applications. It is important to check the material, sealing type, and pressure rating before selecting a valve for such conditions.

Solenoid valves can be either normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC). A normally closed valve stays shut until power is applied, while a normally open valve stays open until power is applied.
