Abstract
A solenoid valve includes a valve body (3), a ferromagnetic fluid flow damper (4) cooperating with a seat (6), to form a fluid sealing surface, an electromagnetic field coil (11) for selectively displacing the damper (4) against the action of a spring (7) by a magnetic field produced by an energization of the coil, an intake conduit (19) and an outlet conduit (20). The valve body (3) is housed in a cylindrical chamber (2) of a hydraulic unit (1) with an internal fluid intake pipe (14) and an internal fluid outlet pipe (22), communicating with their respective fluid intake (19) and outlet (20) conduits in the valve body (3). A flexible joint (16) connects the wall of the cylindrical chamber (2) with the rim of the intake conduit (19) and a compression spring (23) is located between the lower side (24) of the body (3) and the hydraulic unit (1) to provide an elastic suspension for the body (3). This arrangement enables gradual interruption of the flowing liquid when the valve closes by the damper (4) being impelled into the seat (6) by the spring (7) to eliminate water hammer. It is thus possible to regulate pressure in an fluid bypass application installation following a linear func…
