An Engineer's Guide to Selecting A Solenoid Valve

Solenoid valves are a vital component to many everyday systems – from controlling the flow of water in dishwashers, to flowing propane to ignite a gas stove top, to flowing fuel in an internal combustion engine. Depending on the system in which they are being used and their intended function, these valves are available in a wide range of configurations. Understanding what needs to be considered when evaluating a solenoid valve for a system is crucial to ensure that the valve can both remain in state and transition between its de-energized and fully energized states under all potential operating conditions.

This eBook was written by engineers to highlight selection criteria that engineers should consider when deciding on a solenoid valve to use in a fluidic system.
