What is a Fluid Solenoid Valve?

November 2, 2020

This article will explain what a Fluid Solenoid Valve is, and how it works.

What is a Fluid Solenoid Valve?

Universal fluid solenoid valves are used to shut off, distribute or combine flows.

What are the benefits of Fluid Solenoid Valves?

The pressure-tight construction without dynamic sealing elements or vents to the atmosphere prevent emissions.

Where are they used?

Solenoid valves are designed for liquids, gases and vapors which may be neutral, aggressive, cold, hot etc.

How do they work?

The activating element is a solenoid, which – with the help of the fluid pressure – raises the sealing element or forces it back onto the valve seat.
