A soleniod is a device that produces mechanical motion by electrical induction. They are a coil of wire with either a plunger which is drawn into the coil or a plate that is drawn to a metal core. Most small water valves (like for an icemaker) have a metal plunger which is attached to a valve seat. When off, a spring holds the plunger down closing the valve. When on, the coil draws the plunger up and water escapes from the now uncovered hole to the outlet. Larger valves (like sprinkler valves) contain a small valve described above as a trigger device. They contain a diaphragm that seals the main valve and is held shut by water pressure on the diaphragm. When the trigger valve is opened, it releases the pressure and a light spring pushes the valve open, letting the water through. When the trigger valve closes, the cavity on the non-valve side of the diaphragm refills with water, closing the valve.

∙ 12y agoA solenoid valve is a type of valve that uses an electrical current to actuate or shift a spool or cartridge consisting of a solenoid coil and tube assembly.
Basically, this valve type uses an electric current to shift a pin to perform simple A/B tasks such as open/close valve spools.
The designation "solenoid" means that the valve operation is electrical not manual.
Maybe the easiest way to describe a solenoid valve is by thinking about an automatic car lock. The electric current get triggered, the pin gets pushed up and the doors are unlocked. A reverse current gets triggered, the pin gets pushed down, and the doors are locked.
Solenoid valve is suitable to process some special requirements, such as leakage of fluid medium special and so on, the price more expensive.
Alcon introduces new explosion proof solenoid valve
Alcon engineer in rapid response times and flexible operation to their new EExd Solenoid valve
The new high-flow high-speed EExd NAMUR series solenoid valves from Alcon, are designed for use in hazardous area / extreme environment applications. Offering universal 5/2 or 3/2 operations in offshore, processing and chemical industries, the series is ideal for piloting single or double actuators on NAMUR solenoid valves. An explosion proof, submersible, water tight & dust tight aluminium body suitable for indoor or outdoor use, along with Nitrile seals ensures reliable operation while meeting requirements for a wide range of environments.

What is a TIW valve used for in the oil field?
A TIW valve is a type of safety valve that is used in the oil field. This valve prevents a blow out when drilling for oil.
What is Anti freeze valve?
It's a valve that can open an hydraulic circuit befor the water inside freeze.
What is meant by valve hunting?
Ideally, the valve should settle into a single position once setpoint is reached. A hunting valve over-controls, or goes too far, then reverses in an attempt to the correct overshoot, but goes too far, reverses direction again, and constantly repeats this cycle. A hunting valve results in poor control, and prematurely wears out the valve's mechanical parts. Hunting is usually indicative of loop gain too high (PID gain + process gain), or a valve that is oversized for the intended flow, or noisy input signal, or a PID integral term too small.

What is the function of a relief valve and what is the disadvantage of it?
A relief valve is spring loaded valve that when excessive hydraulic or air pressure is applied it pushes the cylinder in the direction of the spring and lets the oil or air pass through and escape via another hose returning to the hydraulic tank or into the atmosphere in the case of air pressure. Without it hydraulic pipes or cylinders would rupture.
Does a 99 Mitsubishi diamante have an egr solenoid or just the egr valve. If it does have the solenoid where is it related to the valve?
Yes, the Diamante has an EGR solenoid. On any Mitsubishi, if the car has an egr valve, it has a solenoid to operate the valve. Just follow the vacuum line from the valve and it will go to the solenoid. There may be another one way valve between the valve and the solenoid, though. The solenoid is electronic.

What is direct acting solenoid valve?
A direct acting solenoid valve is one in which the action of the solenoid alone switches the valve gate. Most solenoid valves are "piloted", which means that a relatively small solenoid valve is used to allow pressurized air to actuate the valve gate mechanism. Because the solenoid does all of the work in a direct acting valve, the solenoid must therefore be larger than that of a piloted valve in order to generate the switching force. Piloted solenoid valves have the advantage of being more compact and consuming less current than a direct acting solenoid valve. Direct acting solenoid valves are useful when switching low pressure fluids.
