How to Check the Condition of a Solenoid Valve?
1 Answers
Methods for checking the condition of a solenoid valve: First, supply the controlled medium (pressurized liquid or gas, with the pressure value at the midpoint of the solenoid valve's operating range) to the solenoid valve. Then, energize the solenoid coil. If the controlled medium changes from open to closed or from closed to open, the solenoid valve is functioning properly; otherwise, there is an issue. A solenoid valve is an electromagnetically controlled industrial device used as an automated basic component for fluid control, acting as an actuator, and is not limited to hydraulic or pneumatic applications. Solenoid valves are categorized into three main types based on their operating principles: direct-acting solenoid valves, semi-direct-acting solenoid valves, and pilot-operated solenoid valves.
