What is a Solenoid Valve?

A solenoid valve is an electromechanical device that controls the flow of fluids or gases. It converts electrical energy into mechanical motion via a coil and plunger, which opens or closes the valve.

Understanding Diaphragm Operated Solenoid Valves

A diaphragm operated solenoid valve uses a flexible diaphragm to control flow. The diaphragm separates two chambers and moves with pressure changes to open or close, delivering smooth, reliable shut-off.

How Does a Diaphragm Solenoid Valve Work?

Two common operating types:

  • Direct-Acting Diaphragm Solenoid Valve: The diaphragm is coupled to the plunger. Energizing the coil lifts the plunger and opens the valve. Best for low-flow/low-pressure applications.
  • Pilot-Operated Diaphragm Type: A small pilot port creates a pressure differential across the diaphragm. Energizing the coil opens the pilot, moving the diaphragm to open or close the main port. Suited to larger flows and higher pressure. Common in 2/2 way designs.

Key Components of a Solenoid Diaphragm Valve

Core components include:

  • Solenoid Coil: generates the magnetic field
  • Plunger/Armature: moves in response to the field
  • Diaphragm: flexible membrane that opens/closes the flow path
  • Valve Body: ports and internal galleries
  • Pilot Valve (pilot-operated only): controls the pressure differential

Benefits of Diaphragm Operated Solenoid Valves

Diaphragm operated solenoid valves offer:
  • Reliable operation with fewer moving parts
  • Low power consumption (especially pilot-operated)
  • Versatility across air, water, oil, steam, and gases
  • Quick response for precise control

Applications of Diaphragm Operated Solenoid Valves

These valves are widely used in:
  • Water Treatment: dosing, distribution, filtration
  • Oil & Gas: fuel, oil, gas lines in refineries
  • HVAC: refrigerant and coolant circuits
  • Food & Beverage: hygienic liquid control
  • Medical Equipment: respiratory and anesthetic devices

Choosing the Right Solenoid Valve Diaphragm Kit

Use the correct solenoid valve diaphragm kit for maintenance. Concorde Valves & Automations offers compatible kits with high-quality diaphragms and seals to extend valve life and performance.
