Introduction to solenoid valve
The solenoid valve is an electromagnetic part of a control valve. A solenoid valve is an

A spring is housed in the coil which keeps the plunger in position. In normally closed
position the spring presses the plunger tip against the ori ce opening due to which
there is no ow of the uid form the inlet port to the outlet port. When the electric
current is passed through the coil the spring is energized allowing the plunger to lift-up
from the position and allowing the passage of uid through the ori ce. When the
electrical current is removed, the valve returns to its de-energized state.
Unless otherwise stated, for shutdown valves and on-o valves with fail safe action,
the solenoid shall be de-energized to vent air out of the actuator and drive the valve to
the safe (closed or open) position (spring force should push the actuator to the desired
position).
For blowdown valves, the solenoid may be de-energized or energized by the safety
system, depending on the project speci cations. This aspect has to be critically worked
out with the Process Dept., taking into account the adequacy of the blowdown valve
tailpipe and are header sizing, as well as when and how the blowdown valves are
supposed to operate. For blowdown valves with solenoids supposed to energize to fail
open the valve, the solenoid circuits should be line monitored.
