Solenoid valve selection and working principle Solenoid valves are divided into three categories in principle: 1) Direct acting solenoid valve: Principle: When energized, the electromagnetic force generated by the electromagnetic coil lifts the closing part from the seat, and the valve opens; When the power is off, the electromagnetic force disappears, the spring presses the closing part on the seat, and the valve is closed. Features: It can work normally under vacuum, negative pressure and zero pressure, but the diameter is generally not more than 25mm. 2) Distributed direct acting solenoid valve: Principle: It is a combination of direct action and pilot principle, when there is no pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet, after the power is turned on, the electromagnetic force directly lifts the pilot small valve and the main valve closing part in turn, and the valve opens. When the inlet and outlet reach the starting […]
