A solenoid valve is an electrically operated valve that controls the flow of fluids (liquids or gases) in a piping system.
Key Features:
1. Electrical control: Solenoid valves are operated by an electric current, making them easy to automate and control remotely.
2. Fast switching: Solenoid valves can open and close quickly, allowing for precise control of fluid flow.
3. Low power consumption: Solenoid valves require minimal power to operate, making them energy-efficient.
4. Compact design: Solenoid valves are often smaller and more compact than other types of valves.
5. High reliability: Solenoid valves are designed to withstand frequent operation and harsh environments.
