Paul I can’t tell you how much I like and appreciate these videos - thank you! I’m an engineer (mechanical/ industrial) with 29 years of broad experience, and I’m regularly watching your channel for refreshers. Been a long time since university study so this perfect. Gonna start supporting you. Thanks again for your hard work, dedication, and excellent teaching!
i work as a process engineer in a petrochemical plant, this video was extremely helpful! we have many SOVs for our interlock system, they are extremely important for the safety of the plant!
Hey, I m a process engineer in a biopharmaceutical industry and we r using it in our pcs system to control the flow of gas in the Bio- reactors ....this video was amazing 👍
Great video. An added bonus would have been to talk about safety features, like redundant loop and when to choose NC valve in case of power failure or contact failure.
I have used solenoid valves as an output switch to control the stroke of a double-acting pnumatic cylinder in a production line using PLC. Great channel! Thank you.
Great job Paul! I have just started a new engineering job involving all sorts of solenoid valves. Your videos are such a great help! Thank you for all the work 👍🏾
Thank you so much, you video helped me understand the concept of solenoid valve. This partly help me fix my Samsung washing machine by swapping a working solenoid with a non working 1. Now my water is flowing..
Great video as always! I use them in reverse osmosis plants along with a salinity sensor to determine the quality of the water. 2 plumbed into a T (1 normally closed and 1 normally open). When the salinity sensor detects good water the NC valve is energized and the NO valve de-energized, sending good water to the storage tank! We also use electronic ball valves which would make a great vid....
considering I'm a journeymen plumber and I am in charge of the proper installation of the water piping system, when my boss mentions installing the solenoid valves, I may not know exactly where I need to put em in at but at least I have a firm understanding of what it is and what it's used for... thanks again E.M.!! p.s. my boss likes the coffee mug I got him for xmas :)
In combination with a flood sensor to stop the water main (or just the whaterr flow of one room) or for automatic watering of your garden (in combination with moisture sensors and drippers)...
Hi Paul. You rock and the app is awesome. Can't believe how many things have magnets here at home. I sucked at this stuff at school and now I can't stop since finding this channel! Started a small project on electromagnetic lights. Extremely nervous for some reason.
I am using the solenid vavle for controlling the downtake water from the overhead tank to the individual flats's bathroom in the high rise aprtment building.
6:20 You cannot reverse the current to reverse the force on the plunger in an NO or NC valve configuration- it will generate a pulling force regardless of the direction of the current. You can see this by the fact that both wires usually have the same color. At 6:20 you'd have to switch the position of the plunger (moving part of the armature) and pole piece (fixed part of the armature). The pole piece is commonly made hollow, with a shaft connecting the plunger (now on top) to the seal. Reversing direction of current is used in the case of latching valves, which have a permanent magnet. The solenoid then either adds to the permanent magnetic field, or subtracts from it when it is reversed. I suppose you could use a permanent magnet in an NC or NO valve? That just seems needlessly complicated to me - would like to see your next video.
Yeah. I was also highly disappointed to see that solenoid valves are pretty much all diaphragm valves and solenoid actually operates pilot hole on membrane. It's not common to use plunger to close flow directly. So this video isn't exactly correct who they actually work mechanics vise.
I work on a ship where we use solonoid valves in nearly all our systems (Fuel, Freshwater, Seawater etc) which we can operate remotely from various different computer consoles onboard. Saves us having to open them all manually.
Lowrider cars with hydraulic suspensions use Delta valves to release the fluids from the cylinders at each wheel. The 24V solenoid coil is controlled from switches in the driver area.
Awesome. This thing should work for my tidepool idea: hydro flood table above a octopus, starfish, and rock filled aquarium set to flood every 12 hours with the hydroponics pump, thus drawing water from the aquarium (low tide). This solenoid thingie and a tube will be on a 12 hour timer to flood the water back down (high tide). Offset timers by 6 hours and you have a tide pool, in theory lol.
Solenoid Valves are used in several automobile application, such as the electronic fuel injectors. Other automobile applications, such as drag racing, apply them to control the flow of Nitrous Oxide. By pulsing the solenoid at variable frequencies, we can progressively add Nitrous Oxide to the engine.
Could you please 🙏make a video on the hooking up and how it would work on a 3way 12volt DC powered 344b tejet ball value on a 12v wireless remote 433hz thank you we use this value to softwash roof control the soudum hypocrite and water to raise out the 3wayball value Great job and information about value just trying to understand the the 12v tejet 3way
Great video. I'm currently working for a control system, you video very helped me understand the concept of solenoid valve. Thank you for sharing this!!
Solenoid valves are used in Hot melt adhesive applications to open and close the Glue Gun module plunger to aid the glue flow. It is also used in pneumatic applications also for automating the control of compressed air supply.
Very nice! Only one thing: regardless of the direction of current flow through the coil, the solenoid will still move the metalic piston in the same direction i.e. the solenoid will bring the metalc piston center of mass in the point where the coil magnetic flux density is strongest. Thought that wasn't very clear at 6:15
Was about to post this as well. You would need a permanent magnet piston for what was said to work. For two directions you would need two coils with diode or relay steering, or as mentioned a permanent magnet core.
Thank you.I'm mechanical engineer.I have little doubt about solenoid valve.why use stop solenoid every machines and steam boiler and steam turbine using of this.now I have cleared working principle of solenoid system
a solenoid valve on a timer to control CO2 release into a planted aquarium, ideally on 2 hours before sunrise and off 1 hour before sunset for the plants to utilize the CO2 best and without wasting CO2.
One application would be an irrigation system for potted plants. Controlled by a microcontroller or SBC and you can have your potted plants be watered whenever they require it.
When I was younger, I put hydraulics on my truck. The kit came with pumps, cylinders, hoses, and dump valves (solenoids). Throw the switch one way and the pump would come on and the cylinder go up. Throw it the other way and the solenoid would open and the weight of the vehicle would push it back down. Now i know what the inside of those valves looked like and how they worked.
I need something like this for my drip irrigation system which is operated on a submersible motor in a storage tank. Even when the motor turns off, the water continues to flow due to siphon created, hence emptying the whole water tank. All I need to work out is how to connect it to the timer
I have used a wide variety of solenoid valves in hydraulic powered air conditioner systems for large construction and mining machines. One of my favorite types is proportional valves. In those the amound the valve opens or closes can be varied by changing how much current is passed through the coil.
I seen the solenoid valves in internal combustion engines , and i know only that one .....but by these video i got beyond that application thank you....
Thanks for another great lesson. I love your videos and frequently refer to them in areas where I lack know-how. Where would I use a solenoid valve? I recently removed a broken dishwasher and dismantled it just to play with the parts. The valve from that may be useful in my refrigerator door where the water dispenser no longer works. A solenoid transplant!
Interesting use of a solenoid valve is to control the flow of natural gas to a kitchen range by wiring it in series with the range exhaust hood. The only time there is gas flowing to the kitchen range is when the range hood fan is powered on. When the hood is powered on by a switch, the gas flows, when the hood is powered off, no gas. Great simple way to build in safety to a kitchen range so the exhaust hood always has to be used.
I'm currently rebuilding a digger's whole electrical system after it burned down and even though I knew roughly how solenoid valves work I've been curious how they're built inside. Nicely shown, thanks!

Correct. Without a magnet in the plunger, the coil will pull the metal plunger to the center of the coil regardless of polarity.
Aleksy Limb especially when used with AC current.

Yeah. I was also highly disappointed to see that solenoid valves are pretty much all diaphragm valves and solenoid actually operates pilot hole on membrane. It's not common to use plunger to close flow directly. So this video isn't exactly correct who they actually work mechanics vise.
So if one end of the coil was (+) and the other end was (-), would direction of the current control whether that valves closes or opens?
