What Is A Solenoid Valve?

Solenoid valve is a kind of valve, which is driven by electromagnetic coil and belongs to the actuator.

There are many kinds of solenoid valves, including check valves, safety valves, direction control valves and speed regulating valves. They play a role in different positions of the control system, and can achieve the desired control according to different circuits, and ensure the accuracy and flexibility of the control.

The working principle of the solenoid valve usually includes two states of power and power failure. When energized, the electromagnetic coil generates a magnetic field that attracts magnetic substances in the core, such as iron filings, to cut off the power supply. When the power is off, the magnetic field disappears, the armature draws, and the valve is closed by spring return. The working mode of the solenoid valve has two types: normally closed type and normally open type. Normally closed type is used to cut off the fluid channel in the connected state, and normally open type is used to switch on or cut off the fluid channel.

Marine solenoid valves are usually installed in the engine room, pump room, fuel tank and other positions of the ship, used to control the switch and flow of fuel oil, lubricating oil and other liquids. In the ship's piping system, solenoid valves can be installed at the inlet and outlet of the pipe to control the flow and closure of the liquid.

In the selection of Marine solenoid valve, need to consider its applicability, reliability and economy and other factors. Specifically, it is necessary to consider the working voltage, working current, working frequency, working temperature, working pressure, interface size and media types of the solenoid valve. At the same time, it is also necessary to consider the sealing performance, corrosion resistance, explosion-proof performance and safety performance of the solenoid valve.

When installing the Marine solenoid valve, it needs to be carried out in accordance with the relevant specifications and requirements to ensure that the solenoid valve can work normally and extend its service life. At the same time, it is also necessary to check and maintain the solenoid valve regularly to discover and solve potential problems in time to ensure its safe and reliable operation.
