solenoid valve working principle
What is a Solenoid Valve?
A solenoid valve is an electromechanical device used to control the flow of a liquid or gas. It is comprised of two features: a solenoid and a valve. The solenoid is an electric coil with free-moving ferromagnetic material in the center of the coil, often referred to as a ¡°plunger.¡± When voltage is applied to the coil, the solenoid is energized. This action creates a magnetic field that either attracts or repels the plunger and causes it to translate linearly
The movement of the plunger alters the position of the components within the valve body to control the specific flow, direction, and pressure of fluid moving through the valve. When current or voltage is removed from the coil, the magnetic field collapses and all internal elements return to their de-energized position.
