    A solenoid valve is an electromechanical valve that uses an electric current to generate a magnetic field and open or close the valve mechanically. It has two main parts: a solenoid and a valve. Solenoid valves are commonly used in pneumatic systems to control cylinders and larger industrial valves. They offer fast, reliable switching and compact design. Multiple solenoid valves can be placed on a manifold to control multiple ports and flows.

    SOLENOID VALVE Introduction:

    A solenoid valve is an electromechanical valve for use with liquid or gas. The valve is controlled by an electric current through a solenoid coil. Solenoid valves may have two or more ports: in the case of a two-port valve the flow is switched on or off; in the case of a three-port valve, the outflow is switched between the two outlet ports. Multiple solenoid valves can be placed together on a manifold. Solenoid valves are the most frequently used control elements in fluidics. Their tasks are to shut off, release, dose, distribute or mix fluids. Solenoids offer fast and safe switching, high reliability, long service life, good medium compatibility of the materials used, low control power and compact design.

    Working principle:
    A solenoid valve has two main parts: 1. Solenoid, 2.valve. The solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical energy which, in turn, opens or closes the valve mechanically. A direct acting valve has only a small flow circuit, shown within section E of this diagram (this section is mentioned below as a pilot valve). This diaphragm piloted valve multiplies this small flow by using it to control the flow through a much larger orifice. Solenoid valves may use metal seals or rubber seals, and may also have electrical interfaces to allow for easy control. A spring may be used to hold the valve opened or closed while the valve is not activated.

    Uses:
    - The most common uses of solenoid valves are in pneumatic systems - controlling cylinders or larger industrial valves. Some examples of solenoid valves are general-purpose, combustion, and dust collector; there are many others. - The use of two-way solenoid valves in central heating systems is not generally recommended due to the high closing speeds, causing water hammering (in the case of direct operated valves), or insufficient pressure drop to operate the pilot system in pilot-operated solenoid valves. - Another use for solenoid valves is in automatic irrigation sprinkler systems. See also Controller (irrigation).

    - In the paintball industry, solenoid valves are usually referred to simply as "solenoids." They are commonly used to control a larger valve used to control the propellant (usually compressed air or CO2). In the industry, "solenoid" may also refer to an electromechanical solenoid commonly used to actuate a sear. - Besides controlling the flow of air and fluids solenoids are used in pharmacology experiments, especially for patch-clamp, which can control the application of agonist or antagonist.
