Product Details of Solenoid Valve Model: WD15L(1/2")-N-4-AC110V / Diaphragm Type 2/2 way NC, NBR Seal, For Water, Air, Gas
The diaphragm type solenoid valve (Solenoid Valve Diaphragm Type) is a valve that controls the flow of liquids or gases using a diaphragm and a solenoid to open and close the valve. It is commonly used in automatic systems such as water supply systems, irrigation systems, pneumatic systems, and various industries.
Working Principle of Diaphragm Type 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 channels.
Pilot Port (Pressure Control Port): A small port that helps control pressure on both sides of the diaphragm.
Operating Mode
Normal Closed (NC) – Normally Closed
No electricity → Plunger closes pilot port → Pressure on both sides of the diaphragm is equal → Diaphragm closes valve.
Electricity applied → Plunger is lifted → Pilot port opens → Pressure above the diaphragm decreases → Fluid from below pushes the diaphragm up → Valve opens.
Normal Open (NO) – Normally Open
The principle is similar, but pressure sides are reversed → When no electricity valve is open, when electricity applied valve closes.
Advantages of Diaphragm Valve
Rapid opening and closing.
No leakage (because the diaphragm does not wear like other valves).
Easy maintenance.
Suitable for clean liquids such as water, air.
Usage Details
Potable water system – Controls water in filters and cold water machines.
Irrigation systems – Opens and closes water according to schedule.
Food/Pharmaceutical industry – Used with clean liquids that need precise control.
Pneumatic systems (Pneumatic) – Controls air supply in machinery.
Home appliances such as washing machines, coffee makers.
