What is a solenoid valve on a 97 Nissan Pathfiner?

A solenoid valve is a electromechanically operated valve that is controlled by an electric current. It essentially controls the cylinders and fluid power in the motor of your Nissan Pathfinder.


What type of valve is a solenoid valve?

Solenoid valves are electromechanically operated valves which are controlled by an electric current, mostly used in fluidics. There are different types of solenoid valves, one or two port valves.

What is function of solenoid?

The function of solenoid can be quite diverse. This is a valve that is operated electromagnetically. One of the common functions is to help in opening and closing of a laser shatter.


How does a solenoid-operated directional valve works?

A solenoid-operated directional valve controls the flow of fluids in hydraulic or pneumatic systems using an electromagnetic solenoid. When electrical current is applied to the solenoid, it generates a magnetic field that moves a plunger or armature, shifting the valve's position. This change redirects the flow of fluid through different ports of the valve, allowing for controlled movement or operation of actuators like cylinders or motors. The valve can be reset to its original position when the current is turned off, stopping the fluid flow in the previous path.


What is a pneumatic solenoid operated spool valve?

spool valveA spool valve is a multidirectional hydraulic or pneumatic valve usually operated by a joystick. It has several hoses attached to it leading to different pneumatic rams. When the joystick is pushed in one direction, it causes the valve to shut off one of the pneumatic hoses leading to the ram and open the other. Which way the joystick is pushed moves the piston in the ram in or out. Since you specified a solenoid operated valve it is operated not by a joystick that is directly connected to the valve but rather an electric joystick like the you would use in a video game and an electrical signal is sent to activate a solenoid that does the same thing but can be much farther away from the operator. Solenoid Actuated Pneumatic Spool ValveA solenoid actuated pneumatic spool valve is a spool valve actuated by an electric solenoid. They are often used in industrial automation and are usually controlled by a PC or a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) rather than a manual switch. To reduce the size and power consumption of the solenoid, often the solenoid does not directly actuate the spool. Instead, the solenoid actuates a small internal valve which directs upstream air pressure to move the spool. This is called an air piloted solenoid actuated pneumatic spool valve. The air pilot mechanism typically requires about 40 PSI to operate reliably. If the air pressure upstream of the valve is going to be less than 40 PSI, the valve must be externally piloted, meaning that the pilot is connected to a separate air source which is above 40 PSI.


Does a 99 Mitsubishi diamante have an egr solenoid or just the egr valve. If it does have the solenoid where is it related to the valve?

Yes, the Diamante has an EGR solenoid. On any Mitsubishi, if the car has an egr valve, it has a solenoid to operate the valve. Just follow the vacuum line from the valve and it will go to the solenoid. There may be another one way valve between the valve and the solenoid, though. The solenoid is electronic.

What is a variable valve timing solenoid?

This component is electrically operated by the engine computer. It (on most vehicles) changes the oil pressure in the variable valve timing system to adjust the valve timing. It is very similar to the solenoids in use inside an automatic transmission.


What is direct acting solenoid valve?

A direct acting solenoid valve is one in which the action of the solenoid alone switches the valve gate. Most solenoid valves are "piloted", which means that a relatively small solenoid valve is used to allow pressurized air to actuate the valve gate mechanism. Because the solenoid does all of the work in a direct acting valve, the solenoid must therefore be larger than that of a piloted valve in order to generate the switching force. Piloted solenoid valves have the advantage of being more compact and consuming less current than a direct acting solenoid valve. Direct acting solenoid valves are useful when switching low pressure fluids.
