Definition
A valve is a mechanical device for controlling the
flow of a fluid or a substance.
Introduction:
Solenoid valves use electricity to open and close an
orifice in the valve body, allowing or preventing the flow of a given medium.
The possibility to convert electric energy in magnetic field energy is found in solenoid valves.
Valve Types
Popular types of on/off solenoid valves:
Direct-Lift Pilot-Operated Proportioning Valve
Direct-Lift
A direct-lift solenoid valve has
a plunger that opens or closes the valve.
usually have low flow rates and high differential pressure drops.

Pilot-Operated
Pilot-operated solenoid valves
use the fluid's own pressure for actuation.
plunger, pilot-operated solenoid valves are normally available in larger orifice sizes than direct-lift valves. have quick response time and low cost.
Proportioning Valve
Proportioning valves allow complete and
continuous fluid control.
