A solenoid valve, such as the 2-way, 3-way, and 4-way high-pressure variable solenoid valves used in irrigation and humidifiers, is an electromechanically operated device that controls the flow of liquids or gases. These valves are critical for precise flow control in various applications. Here’s a detailed explanation of how they work:
Components and Structure
Solenoid Coil: A wire coil that generates a magnetic field when an electric current passes through it.
Plunger or Armature: A movable metal piece that is attracted by the magnetic field generated by the solenoid coil.
Valve Body: The housing that contains the internal components, including the ports for fluid or gas entry and exit.
Spring: A component that returns the plunger to its original position when the solenoid is de-energized.
Orifice: The opening that allows the flow of fluid or gas, which is controlled by the plunger.
Operating Principle
Electromagnetic Activation: When an electrical current is applied to the solenoid coil, it generates a magnetic field. This magnetic field attracts the plunger or armature towards the coil.
Plunger Movement: The movement of the plunger opens or closes the valve. In a normally closed (NC) valve, the valve remains closed when the solenoid is de-energized and opens when energized. In a normally open (NO) valve, the valve remains open when de-energized and closes when energized.
Flow Control: The position of the plunger determines the flow of fluid or gas through the valve.
