What is a solenoid valve?

A solenoid valve is an electromechanical device that controls the flow of fluids, such as liquids or gases, through a system by using an electrical signal to open or close a valve mechanism. It’s a common component in various applications, including industrial processes, automation systems, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), irrigation, and more.

Solenoid valves offer quick and precise control over fluid flow, allowing for automation and remote operation of various systems. Their application range varies from simple on/off control to more complex proportional control where the valve can be adjusted to regulate the flow rate accurately.
