What do you mean by solenoid valve and its application?

In many ways a solenoid valve is like a regular valve. It opens and closes to let the fluid or gas get through the pipe. The difference is that a solenoid does the work. A solenoid is an electrical device with a coil of wire surrounding a plunger. When electricity flows through the coil, the plunger moves up or down, due to the electromagnetic field.


What is piston diameter?

A piston is a plunger, or a plug that moves inside a cube, a cylinder. The piston diameter is the diameter of this plunger/plug. It's a tiny bit smaller than the diameter of the cylinder the piston moves in.


How a solenoid valve works according to the concept of electromagnetism?

The basic principal is a coil of wire wrapped around a non ferrous cylinder. In this cylinder there is a ferrous metal plunger which can move freely the length of the cylinder. A spring against the plunger holds the plunger so that it is only allowed to enter the cylinder by about a quarter of its length. When current is applied to the solenoid coil the plunger is drawn into the cylinder by the electromagnetic field generated by the coil. On the end of the plunger there is a seal that is used to cover a small hole in the valve body. When this hole is opened the main valve opens. When the current is removed from the coil the plunger is pushed back by the spring to cover the small hole in the valve body and there by closing the main valve.


What is the difference between piston and plunger?

The difference between a piston and a plunger may be understood if you observe what forms the seal that precludes the fluid from passing either the Plunger or Piston. The 'piston' is a steel block equipped with elastomers that makes wall contact with the cylinder wall. As it moves inside the cylinder it wipes the wall and displaces the entire content of the cylinder. In this case the seals form part of the piston. The 'plunger' is a steel block that moves through a hole that is equipped with elastomer seals. The plunger displaces a portion of the cylinder contents, i.e., the volume of the plunger that enters the cylinder. The plunger does not wipe the walls of the cylinder. The seals, in case, are a part of the cylinder block. Umair Aslam Mechanical Engineer PARCO, Pakistan


How does a solenoid work?

he solenoid of an autmobile is associated with the starter system and transfers an electric current into the starter motor to set the engine into operation. When the ignition key is turned, current is released from the battery and travels along an insulated wire into the solenoid. The solenoid then releases a small plunger that creates a connection between two internal electrical posts, sends the current down another wire to the starter and forces the starter motor to spin.
