Details of GD20(3/4")-N-3-AC220V / Diaphragm 2/2 way NC, NBR Seal
The Diaphragm Solenoid Valve (Solenoid Valve Diaphragm Type) is a valve that controls the flow of liquids or gases using a diaphragm and solenoid to open and close the valve. It is commonly used in automatic systems such as water supply systems, irrigation systems, compressed air systems, and various industries.
Working Principle of Diaphragm Solenoid Valve
Main Components
Solenoid Coil (Electromagnetic Wire Winding): Creates a magnetic field when electric current flows through it
Plunger (Movable Iron Rod): Lifted or lowered by the magnetic field
Diaphragm (Flexible Rubber/Silicone Sheet): Opens and closes fluid pathways
Pilot Port (Pressure Control Port): A small port that helps control pressure on both sides of the diaphragm
Operation Mode
Normal Closed (NC) – Normally Closed
No electricity → Plunger closes pilot port → Pressure on both sides of the diaphragm is equal → Diaphragm keeps valve closed
Electricity applied → Plunger is lifted → Pilot port opens → Pressure above the diaphragm decreases → Fluid from below pushes up the diaphragm → Valve opens
Normal Open (NO) – Normally Open
Similar principle but reversed pressure side → No electricity, valve is open; with electricity applied, valve closes
Advantages of Diaphragm Valve
Rapid opening and closing
No leakage (as the diaphragm does not wear out like other valves)
Easy maintenance
Suitable for clean liquids such as water, air
Usage Details
Potable Water System – Controls water in filtration machines and cold water makers
Irrigation System – Opens and closes water according to schedule
Food/Pharmaceutical Industry – Used with clean liquids that require precise control
Pneumatic Systems (Compressed Air) – Controls air supply in machinery
Home Appliances – Such as washing machines, coffee makers
