A proportional solenoid valve includes a valve body defining an inlet and an outlet for a fluid flow through the valve body and an armature that is moveable along a longitudinal axis from a first closed position to a second open position to control the flow of fluid through the valve. The valve further includes a flux can and an encapsulated coil assembly encompassed within the flux can. The encapsulated coil assembly includes a bobbin, a wire coil wound around the bobbin, and a non-conductive encapsulation layer that encapsulates the bobbin and the wire coil so as to electrically isolate the wire coil from the flux can and other conductive components of the valve. When the solenoid coil is energized, a magnetic field is created which causes the armature to move away from the first position against the valve body toward the second position, thereby opening the valve. The proportional solenoid further includes insulated wiring that is electrically connected to the wire coil, and a non-conductive encapsulation tower that encapsulates the insulated wiring so as to electrically isolate the insulated wiring from the flux can and other conductive components of the valve.

The water hammer phenomenon generates impact when the valve element comes into contact with the valve seat and no fluid leaks between a valve element and a valve seat. The fluid control valve further includes a controller to execute an abnormality determining program and determines the valve main body to be normal when the sensor detects the vibration with an amplitude exceeding the predetermined threshold, while determines the valve main body to be abnormal when the sensor does not detect the vibration with an amplitude exceeding the predetermined threshold.

A valve body has an inflow passage for a working fluid, an outflow passage for the working fluid, and a pressure relief passage, which connects the inflow passage and the outflow passage by bypassing a normally close valve seat. A pressure relief valve is located in the pressure relief passage. The pressure relief valve closes the pressure relief passage, if a pressure of the working fluid in the outflow passage is lower than, is equal to, and is higher by a pressure difference less than a predetermined relief pressure than a pressure of the working fluid in the inflow passage. The pressure relief valve opens the pressure relief passage, if the pressure of the working fluid in the outflow passage is higher by a pressure difference equal to or higher than the relief pressure than a pressure of the working fluid in the inflow passage.
