Robo India presents tutorial working of solenoid valve. This tutorial explains how a solenoid valve can be embedded in a system to automate fluid control.
1. Introduction:
This tutorial of Robo India explains working of solenoid valve. Solenoid valve is a tool to automate various applications for home / office and industry.
Solenoid valve is a valve that control fluid flow like any other valve but this valve is controlled electrically. This feature of controlling this makes it very useful in automation based application.
A typical valve is shown below this valve is operated by hand. On the contrary the solenoid valve is controlled through operating coil. If current is supplied across the terminals it opens the valve otherwise it remains closed.
2. Nomenclature
Nomenclature of a solenoid valve. Solenoid valve can flow fluid in a single direction thus flow direction is important. Always install solenoid valve in correct direction. Cleaning port is there for cleaning the net, open this port for cleaning net. Tight this port back after cleaning.
3. Operating solenoid valve.
Apply 12V DC Voltage to the terminals of operating coil. These terminals are polarity free, +/GND can be connected to either terminal. While current passes through operating coil it opens the valve otherwise valve remains closed.
Note: Please read the ratings attached devices should be with in the limits.
