electric solenoid valve

An electric solenoid valve is a type of valve found in many machines and devices. It regulates the flow of liquids or gases by opening or closing a passage. Pretending not to be scared of the word “solenoid” The word “solenoid” sounds a little tricky, doesn’t it, but really it is just a term for a device that turns electrical energy into movement. When electricity passes through a solenoid valve, it produces a magnetic field that operates a metal part that opens or closes the valve.

How an Electric Solenoid Valve Works

When you press the button or move the switch to open the electric solenoid valve, you send electricity through a coil of wire inside it. This creates a magnetic field that attracts a metal piece, known as a plunger, to the coil’s center. As the plunger is displaced, it establishes or closes a path through which the liquid or gas is to pass the valve. When the electricity is turned off, the magnetic field disappears. Inside the valve, a spring pushes the plunger back to its original position, cutting off the water flow.
