What are the types of solenoid valves?
1 Answers
Solenoid valves can be categorized into three main types based on their operating principles: direct-acting solenoid valves, step-by-step direct-acting solenoid valves, and pilot-operated solenoid valves. Solenoid valves are electromagnetically controlled industrial devices used as fundamental automation components for fluid control, serving as actuators and not limited to hydraulic or pneumatic applications. Solenoid valves can be integrated with various circuits to achieve desired control, ensuring both precision and flexibility in operation. Installation precautions for solenoid valves: 1. Ensure the arrow on the valve body aligns with the direction of the medium flow and avoid installation in areas exposed to direct water dripping or splashing; 2. Guarantee normal operation within a power voltage fluctuation range of ±15% to 10% of the rated voltage; 3. There should be no reverse pressure difference in the pipeline after installation; 4. Thoroughly clean the pipeline before installing the solenoid valve.
