What Is A Solenoid Valve?

The video tutorial explains solenoid valves, highlighting their distinctive structure and functionality. Solenoid valves consist of a valve body and a solenoid, allowing for remote and autonomous control of fluid flow in systems. The tutorial covers the operation of direct operated valves, emphasizing the role of electromagnetic fields. It also distinguishes between normally open and normally closed valves, detailing the internal components like the armature, plunger, and spring, and how they function to control fluid flow.

What happens to the plunger when an electrical current is applied to the solenoid?

Why is the plunger placed in the center of the magnetic field in a solenoid valve?
