Solenoid Valves
The world’s largest selection of solenoid valves, designed for the most challenging fluid control applications
A solenoid valve is a type of valve that is controlled by an electric current. A coil of wire, also called an electromagnet, is energized to create a magnetic field that moves a plunger. This movement opens or closes the valve, allowing or shutting off the flow of liquids or gases through it.
Whether your application requires directional control, proportional or miniature valve technology, Emerson provides the industry standard for reliability, adaptability, and energy efficiency.
Case Study
The main cryogenic heat exchanger is considered the heart of the LNG facility, making the closely-coupled Joule-Thomson control valves feeding the MCHE the most critical of control valves.
Case Study
A large natural gas producer in Europe chose Emerson to provide a special Fisher Joule-Thomson control valve for their main cryogenic heat exchanger.
Case Study
Chapters of interest include onshore and offshore oil and gas production, natural gas treatment, LNG liquefaction, and control valve selection and sizing for related applications.
FAQs
There are two main types of control valve designs, depending on the action of the closure member: sliding-stem (also referred to as globe or angle) or rotary (also called quarter-turn). Sliding-stem control valves use linear motion to move a closure member into and out of a seating surface. Whereas rotary control valves use rotational motion to turn a closure member into and out of a seating surface.
The pressure drop is the difference between the inlet pressure and the outlet pressure. It varies with flow. The pressure drop is usually measured in pounds per square inch differential or psid.
