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!
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.
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.
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 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 👍🏾
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 :)
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.
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..
In the ARMY we used solenoids coupled with hydraulic lines to sync up a Cobra attack helicopter pilot's helmet mounted gun sight to the rotating and elevating gun turret which would point a electric motor driven Gatling gun. As a 17 year old high school drop out, I can tell you it was an amazing experience to get to work on such a complex system.
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....
I just love these. Thank you so very much! Learning how things work down to the details is just so very interesting. If you don’t have a video on the subject matter, then I am forced to rip whatever it is apart and use my imagination. Thanks to your videos I am much less destructive and happy about it!
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.
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.
We use solenoid valves in irrigation systems in central Florida. They are of the closed type, only opening when they are energized. They screw into a valve body which opens and closes when the solenoid is activated by a main controller. The input supply voltage is 120VAC and that is reduced through a transformer into 24V DC output. The solenoid sits into an adapter with a rubber seal. They do go bad quite often due to all the summertime electrical storms or lightning that makes contact to the ground and zaps them and the control panel. They are very easy to replace because the actual valve has a manual control valve at the top to manually regulate the valve pressure. That manual valve has to be fully closed to replace the solenoid. The solenoid itself can be screwed from its port on top of the valve and the two wires reconnected. Some smaller valves don't have a pressure valve and the entire system has to be turned off via a ball valve and depressurized before the solenoid is replaced. There are also battery operated solenoids that can only be used with battery operated timers or controllers. They are 18V DC energized by two 9 volt batteries. This is used if their is no AC power to operate a 24V DC timer/solenoid on a job site. Each solenoid represents a zone . A decoder is also used with one or more solenoids to turn on or off a zone.
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!!
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.
30,000 square foot of my manufacturing plant was fluded. the Solenoid valve would have provent the fluding. It happen during a weekend when no one was here, the machine was shutdown, but the water pressure was still on. And then it happened, BANG the hose poped up and the city water fluded the plant for 36 hours. This is a great video of how it could have been prevented.
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.
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!
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.
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.
This video made my concepts so clear about solenoid valves! 🙏🤩 Can u please help me know whether what is the material of the solenoid valves used in ABS systems?
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.
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.
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....
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!
Yes I can think of an interesting application: Using this for my indoor- LED growlight garden, with automatic irrigation this is going to be perfect! Amazing video, thanks a lot!
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.

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?
