Solenoid Valve with Coil 1/4 Sweat

Solenoid Valve with Coil 1/4 Sweat

A solenoid valve is an electro mechanical valve frequently used to control the flow of liquid or gas. Solenoid valves are found in many applications and are commonly used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Their function is simply to turn refrigerant flow on and off.

Solenoid Coil: When an electrical current passes through the coil, it creates a magnetic field that moves an internal plunger, allowing or blocking the flow of the fluid.

Valve Body: The valve body contains the internal components like the plunger and orifice, with the 1/4-inch sweat fittings providing the connection point for the system’s tubing.

Function: In a normally closed (NC) valve, the coil’s magnetic field is required to open the valve. When power is removed, a spring forces the plunger back to the closed position
