Have you ever used an industrial air hammer? Have you checked on your automotive starter system at one point or another? Have you ever seen an electric bell assembly? If you answer yes to any of these questions, then you probably know what a solenoid valve is.
Solenoid valves are electromechanical valves that are controlled by stopping or running an electrical current through a solenoid, in order to change the state of the valve. A solenoid is a coil of wire that is magnetized when electricity runs through it. The solenoid valve makes use of this solenoid in order to activate a valve, thus controlling water flow, airflow and other things with electricity. Basically, there are three types of solenoid valves: the general-purpose type, low-pressure steam type and the high pressure steam type.
Solenoid valves are composed of several parts such as the solenoid coil, electrical connector, bonnet nut, seal cartridge, O-rings, end connector, body and union nut. All these components are critical to the overall performance of solenoid valves. If any malfunction, it will affect the entire operation of the automotive starter system, as well as the industrial air hammer and the electric bell assembly. That is why this should always be maintained and regularly checked in order to keep the solenoid valves functioning at their best.
But just like any other parts of the starter system, air hammer and electric bell, the solenoid valve can get damaged after a period of time. Thus, a replacement solenoid valve will be needed. It’s a good thing that many dealers offer quality solenoid valves at affordable prices. When selecting a solenoid valve, be sure to consider the valve type, aperture size, pressure rating, coil voltage and type of connection to each port.
