understanding low flow solenoid valve: key features, applications, and benefits
Release time:2025-11-13 10:02:42

    Low flow solenoid valves play a crucial role in various industries, where precise control of fluid flow is essential. These valves are designed to regulate the flow of fluids—whether gas or liquid—by using an electromagnetic coil to control the valve's opening and closing. In this article, we will explore the working principle, key features, applications, and benefits of low flow solenoid valves.

Low Flow Solenoid Valve

    Working Principle of Low Flow Solenoid Valves
    At the core of a low flow solenoid valve is its electromagnetic actuator. This actuator consists of a solenoid coil that, when energized, generates a magnetic field that moves a plunger or valve mechanism. Depending on the type of valve, this action either opens or closes the valve, thereby allowing or restricting the flow of fluid.
    Normally Open (NO) Valves: In the absence of power, the valve remains open, allowing fluid to pass. When power is supplied to the solenoid, the magnetic field closes the valve, stopping the flow.
    Normally Closed (NC) Valves: Conversely, in these valves, the fluid flow is blocked when the solenoid is not energized. When power is supplied, the valve opens, enabling fluid to flow through.
