Many different types of solenoid valves are currently available. This is an inherent benefit of the component's great versatility - the wide range of solenoid types and functions means that it is usually possible to choose a valve that will precisely suit the role it is needed to perform and the application and environment where it will be installed.

In a standard ‘spool’ or ‘poppet’-type solenoid valve, the valve itself is connected directly to a plunger, pivoted armature or another similar device, which for most models will be spring-mounted in some configuration. This plunger is located inside a hollow tube, often referred to as the solenoid ‘core’.

Solenoid valves are essentially flow control units with the ability to either restrict or enable flow, depending on the type of valve in question and whether or not they are in a currently activated (energised) state at any given time. But exactly how does a solenoid valve work in practice?

The IntelliStation Jr. is the smart mixing valve that keeps you covered and connected. Password protected and configurable on-site, IntelliStation Jr. is easy to install and does not require factory pre-programming, a laptop, or special software to download for commissioning or when making adjustments to the valve. IntelliStation Jr. controls outlet temperature to +/- 2oF of set point in compliance with ASSE 1017. Connectivity to the BAS is standard in both BACnet and Modbus protocols. Temperature setback feature contributes to energy efficiency and savings.

Within the solenoid valve types outlined above, there exists a wide range of more specific operating types and functions. One of these is a direct operated solenoid valve, sometimes referred to as direct acting.

The vast majority of modern solenoid valves are manufactured from robust and relatively corrosion-resistant materials. Depending on the intended usage, some common solenoid valve materials might include:

It’s worth noting that, in fluid dynamics terms, ‘normally open’ (i.e. flow-enabled) valves typically imply the opposite meaning to ‘normally open’ gates in electronics systems.

In response to an electrical input signal, the open/closed state of these two ports is reversed, allowing for various valve operations to be controlled. Flow can thus be diverted between channels as required, in accordance with the way the port connections have been set up and connected within the larger pipeline system.

With direct operated solenoid valves, the energised solenoid acts directly on the valve sealing piston or armature. Therefore, the ability of the valve to restrict or enable flow depends on the rated power - in other words, the physical strength - of the component.

You will also need to potentially consider some of the solutions for solenoid valve adapters and mounts. Broadly speaking, these will often align with the type of pipeline where they will be installed, for example:

The Sloan® AER-DEC™ is the perfect innovation for any high-end washroom. Soap dispenser, faucet, hand dryer and sink basin all designed to work together as one beautiful, touch-free, hygienic, highly efficient system.

Two-way or two-port solenoid valves are among the most common types available. In essence, they simply control one inlet port and one outlet port, and work to open or close the valve whenever they receive an electrical activation signal.

When electrically energised, the wire coil wound around the outside of this core creates a magnetic field inside the tube. In turn, this influences the motion of the plunger, which then pushes or pulls the valve in a particular direction, with the end result being the opening or closing of the flow system. The precise way in which the solenoid functions - either to open or to close a valve when automatically activated - will depend on the specific type and configuration of valve and solenoid controller chosen, and thus its ‘normal’ operating state.

Throughout this comprehensive guide, we will take a close look at how solenoids work, get to know some of the various types of solenoid valves currently available, and explore what types of applications and environments they are most commonly used in.

The Watts iDROSET™ CSD calibrated flow measuring and balancing valves are designed for hydronic heating and cooling systems. Features patented integrated flow measurement technology, large dial for direct reading of flow, hand wheel for setting flow rate without the need for tools, and positive shut-off ball valve.

For each type of solenoid valve, you will also need to consider appropriate sizing and power requirements. This can be achieved by calculating a match between your precise usage needs or working conditions and the valve’s rated performance specifications in various areas. To this end, manufacturer guidelines should always be observed across each of the following areas.

Solenoid valves are also used in a variety of everyday domestic and commercial appliances. Typical examples you might encounter on a regular basis include:

Manufacturer guidelines for each of the above criteria tend to list the maximum safe rating in each case. As a result, you will need to ensure that your operating parameters fall below the specified ratings in all cases.

You can buy solenoid valves intended for use with many different liquids and gases, including specialist configurations to cover the majority of industrial, production and laboratory environments. The wide range of types available includes products intended for applications including:

For gas solenoid valves, where gases are considered a compressible media, there are a couple of slightly more complex considerations to take into account as well. These might include gas temperatures at various stages of the pipeline, shifting flow rates expressed in cubic feet per hour, and resulting absolute pressures at both the inlet and outlet ports.

Pilot operated solenoids can be internally or externally piloted. Internally piloted solenoid valves are used for higher pressure systems, usually found in larger pipeline setups where pressure differentials do the bulk of the work to open or close the valve. Externally piloted solenoids rely on a third-party component, such as a spring or armature, to push or pull the valve/diaphragm, working in conjunction with the typically lower pressure differentials commonly encountered in smaller pipelines.

Three-way or three-port solenoid valves have three input/output ports and two valve seals, one of which will always be open and one of which will always be closed in normal (inactive) mode.

Solenoid valves are incredibly useful to engineers and end-users due to their automatic operation. The requirement for an engineer to be physically present to operate a valve manually is removed with the use of solenoids asthey can be installed and used anywhere that gas or fluid flow needs to be automatically controlled and monitored.

Some types and models of solenoid valve controllers employ additional components, including advanced circuit technologies, to offer more complex or responsive functions and features. For example, these might include the ability to manage proportional flow or pressure control, achieved through coil sensitivity to a broader range of input signal strengths.

LFIS200VL

Other components you might find in more advanced systems could include various arrangements of DIN terminals and connectors, for example, providing numerous options for subsequent output signals and onward controls to influence a range of behaviours further along in the system.

With pilot operated solenoid valves, the opening or closing of the valve is powered by the energy stored in the build-up of pressurised fluid or gas.

Two-way solenoid valves are therefore sometimes known simply as shut-off solenoids. They are available in both ‘normally open’ and ‘normally closed’ varieties, according to whether the application requires flow to be restricted or enabled under standard prevailing conditions.

A solenoid valve is often constructed in either poppet or spool format as a basic model option, although more specialised versions are available for tackling specific or demanding workloads, media, functions and environments. Most solenoids are modularly constructed around a fundamental arrangement of a few key components, namely:
