Why choose a solenoid valve?

• Fast and safe switching
• Low leakage losses in closed position
• Low control power
• Used for differing flow rates (nominal size) and pressures (nominal pressures)
• Used for neutral and/or aggressive fluids and gases
• Differing mechanical construction in the fluid section/valve, in the actuator (type of energy/principle) and in control
• Compact
• Long service life
• Ambient conditions
• A cheaper alternative to actuated ball valves

Solenoid selection considerations

Solenoids for process applications are usually offered either servo-assisted or direct-acting, with both having their advantages and uses.

summarised a direct-acting valve will offer a trouble-free service where there is no pressure differential across the valve, i.e. having a tank of liquid which uses gravity to assist with the flow through the valves.

A servo-assisted valve needs a differential or difference between the inlet and outlet of the solenoid valve in order for it to work correctly and usually, they require this differential to be as much as 0.5 bar so in a closed pumped system this type of valve would be fine.

Despite this, in some cases, the application may require a slightly different solution, which is why we at Valves Online offer free expert advice.
