電磁閥

電磁閥是閥門的一種，使用電磁線圈驅動。

電磁閥的工作原理

電磁閥用於流體動力氣動和液壓系統，控制氣缸，液壓傳動電機或較大的工業閥門。自動灌溉噴頭系統還利用電磁閥與自動控制器。國內洗衣機和洗碗機用電磁閥來控制水進入機器。

電磁閥可用於工業應用的廣泛陣列，包括一般的通斷控制，校準和測試台，試驗工廠控制迴路，過程控制系統，和各種原始設備製造商的應用程序。

Page 128: "Skinner Valve plunger assemblies, when appropriate, use floating top and bottom seals to enhance valve performance. Floating seals permit the plunger to generate a larger actuation force to open against the pressure differential in the valve. This enables the valve to operate at higher pressure ratings." Material has implications for shading ring: copper is satisfactory for many materials, but it is unsatisfactory for coffee and urea; silver is satisfactory for those fluids. (pp 130–131.)
