A solenoid valve in which a plunger is disposed in an accommodation space inside a solenoid unit, includes: a first breathing flow passage extending in a circumferential direction on an outer periphery of a stator to communicate with an outside of the solenoid valve; a second breathing flow passage extending from the first breathing flow passage in an axial direction at a part in the circumferential direction to communicate with a first space formed between the stator, a sleeve, and a spool; and a third breathing flow passage extending in the axial direction on an inner periphery of the stator to allow communication between the first space and a second space.

A bistable solenoid valve device for a fluid system is provided. The bistable solenoid valve device comprises a bistable solenoid valve. The bistable solenoid valve comprises a permanent magnet. The bistable solenoid valve further comprises an armature displaceable between a first armature position and a second armature position. The bistable solenoid valve further comprises a first switching coil for energization for a displacement of the armature into the first armature position. The bistable solenoid valve further comprises a second switching coil for energization for a displacement of the armature into the second armature position. The bistable solenoid valve further comprises an evaluation device adapted to measure an induced coil voltage, an induced coil current, or both the induced coil voltage and the induced coil current, at one or more of the non-energized switching coils. The evaluation device is further adapted to assess a switching behavior of the armature.

A bistable valve. The valve includes an interior cavity; a first pressure source; a second pressure source; a first post connected to the interior cavity at a first end of the interior cavity; a second post connected to the interior cavity at a second end of the interior cavity; a magnetic shuttle located within the interior cavity; a first electromagnetic coil disposed about the first post; a second electromagnetic coil disposed about the second post; wherein when the first electromagnetic coil is energized, the first electromagnetic coil supplies a magnetic charge to the first post and actuates the magnetic shuttle to move towards the first end of the interior cavity towards the first post and seal the first pressure source.

An electropneumatic solenoid valve for a pneumatically-actuated field device can include air channels, a flapper valve member, an electromagnetic controller, and a spring. An air supply channel, air dispensing channel and air exhaust channel can be mound into an air chamber. The flapper valve member can include a closure element arranged on an axial control direction and be engageable with a delimitation interior wall mouth of one of the air channels such that the flapper valve member is arranged with a circumferential axial distance to the delimitation interior wall. The electromagnetic controller can displace the flapper valve member in the axial control direction to ventilate/exhaust the air dispensing channel. The spring can bias the flapper valve member into a closed position to close closing the one of the air channels. The flapper valve member can be float-mounted in an unguided configuration except for spring within the air chamber.

An electropneumatic magnet valve for a pneumatically actuated field device can include a valve member, an electromagnetic controller, a magnet valve member, and an activator. The valve member can be moveable between at least two operating positions for ventilating and/or exhausting a magnet valve exit. The electromagnetic controller can move the valve member between the operating positions. The magnet valve member operator can move, additionally with respect to the electromagnetic controller, the valve member independently of an operation of the electromagnetic controller. The valve member operator can include an activator to selectively generate/provide a magnetic field for contact free operation of the valve member via which the magnet valve member operator is changeable between a passive operating condition and an active operating condition.

Technologies are described herein or a solenoid valve having an encapsulated magnetic piston. In some examples, the piston comprises a ferromagnetic core encapsulated by a low reactive outer shell. In some examples, the low reactive outer shell is selected for use within a system at a vacuum. In further examples, the valve is used in a cooling system that uses an adsorbent.

An example system includes a valve assembly having: (i) a plurality of ports including an inlet port, an outlet port, and a vent port, (ii) a solenoid coil having a cavity therein, (iii) an armature slidably accommodated in the cavity of the solenoid coil, (iv) a magnet fixedly disposed within the solenoid coil, wherein the magnet applies a magnetic force on the armature in a distal direction, and (v) a spring applying a biasing force on the armature in a proximal direction; and a controller sending a signal having a particular polarity to the solenoid coil such that the signal is applied to the solenoid coil for a particular period of time, and resending the signal periodically every particular time interval.

A valve assembly may comprise: a housing cap; a valve housing having an inlet port, an outlet port, and a pilot pressure inlet port, the inlet port disposed axially opposite the housing cap; a poppet defining an axial surface and a radially outer surface, the poppet including a first radial groove disposed in the radially outer surface; a first dynamic radial seal disposed in the first radial groove and in intimate contact with a radially inner surface of the valve housing, the first dynamic radial seal configured to maintain unobstructed contact with the radially inner surface of the valve housing in response to the poppet translating axially from an open position to a closed position.

Systems and apparatuses include a solenoid valve including a first coil, a second coil coupled to the first coil, a banjo fitting coupled to the second coil, a spool housing coupled to the banjo fitting so that the first coil and the second coil are selectively rotatable about the spool housing, a spool received within the spool housing, and an armature received within the first coil and the second coil and including a spool actuator coupled to the spool.

The present invention controls the pressure and flow rate of fluid, in order to obtain uniform performance, configure a closed loop magnetic circuit so as to include an electromagnet, a flapper, and a yoke material, and elastically deform the flapper itself by Maxwell attractive force generated between a magnetic pole of the electromagnet and the flapper to make the separation distance between the nozzle and the flapper variable. As opposed to a rigid flapper structure that swingably moves around a supporting point, like a conventional servo valve, the electromagnet, the magnetic pole, the nozzle, the flapper, and the like are arranged such that a change in magnetic gap directly leads to a change in air gap.
