[@yurizhivago4848]

Great video. I worked with hundreds of these in the hospital I worked in. Boilers, dishwashers, laundry etc all have lots of them. They can make a loud click when they open.

[@archive6094]

Fun Fact: In 1910, ASCO Numatics became the first company to develop and manufacture the solenoid valve

[@A619D]

Im a Journeyman Plumber and aside from traditional Plumbing systems i have also built Mechanical rooms. Ive seen Solenoid Valves and installed them along our systems but never really knew how they work. Next time i see a systems operator i will tell him to thank me for installing them so he doesnt have to walk the system and can enjoy his comfy chair 😂😂😂

[@mikechiodetti4482]

Simple and work great. When they get old, intermittent, partial, no operation and leaks happen. Automotive systems and residential sprinkler systems are classic examples.

[@bulbousdude]

Yep, the solenoid on the AC compressor in my car failed and had no AC! Changing out the solenoid instead of the entire compressor fixed the issue!

[@MonroeParrish-k4n]

Great. Thanks alot.

[@myplanet61112]

Thank you Well explained.

[@AlfaySani]

Great video

[@GizmoBeach]

I changed a LOT of solenoid valves on the job. Best way to learn how things work is when they stop working.

[@dvnoytekvlog6634]

Thank you for sharing 🙏👍.

[@keenowl1410]

Very good

[@charlescox290]

Is it possible to vary the strength of the current to control the amount the valve is open, or is a stepper motor valve better suited for something like that?

[@John-ed2wj]

The valve is either open or closed.

[@brandonpratt84]

This is why maintenance techs are in such high demand lol I’m pretty sure they meant the real hands on engineers 😂.

[@khomo12]

Nice!

[@LGBTQKEKW]

Could you please make a video on district heating system:)

[@tonyhawk123]

So in this video there are two versions - a normally open and a normally closed. Is there a toggle version so it only needs power briefly to switch rather than constant power to maintain one of the two states?

[@CT-vm4gf]

There is a version called dc latching solenoid. Open and closed position is achieved by reversing the DC current momentarily in either direction. Very efficient and ideal for battery powered.

[@CommercialGasEngineerVideos]

I'm sure engineering mindset hava a video on dc latching. Thanks for the information all.

[@tonyhawk123]

@@CT-vm4gf Cheers for that

[@mikewalton7615]

I sent a comment today on a solenoid video of 3 years ago and I don't think anyone will see it so here it is again: I am building a device that will make super-heated steam in a small 1" by 25cm pipe. The pipe will be heated to 400°C. I want to inject an Arduino controlled amount of water into the pipe on one end which will immediately vaporize and become super-heated steam exiting via a 1/4" pipe on the other end. I was planning to use a fuel injector, but I think the temperature is too hot. My current thinking is to use a 12v DC solenoid valve and a stainless-steel needle. Any advice and suggestions? Thanks in advance, Mike

[@voriandayne-en9gb]

Yes the Vacuum pumps in the sterilization systems I repair uses those to control water inlet.

[@Gar00n]

Ive run current in the opposite direction and the solenoid acts exactly the same, i.e. it did not get pulled in the other direction as one might expect.. sooo yeah are you just simplifying the explanation ?

[@pirst1sunshine725]

👍

[@mohammedgamal9733]

What about NO solenoid type?

[@mikeadler434]

👍👍

[@michaelzajac5284]

What if it burns?

[@CommercialGasEngineerVideos]

🤔

[@michaelzajac5284]

@@CommercialGasEngineerVideos I had nightmare. I think I fixed it and then it burned. 240 or 120 volts?

[@Michael_Livingstone]

I very rarely see engineers in the plant. They’re usually in their office doing fancy math that only they would use, and dream up ideas that won’t work in the real world as they don’t possess field experience. Lastly they usually ignore ideas that Operations suggest since they didn’t come up with it themselves.

[@Asorbing_asp]

Fun fact: solenoids are also used in tornado sirens

[@mysticery]

What about the other type? The video ended so abruptly! 😭😭😭

[@SanSan-sd1xy]

the other type is the opposite. so when there it is off and unpowered, the spring holds the pin(the gate that moves up and down to let the liquid flow) up so it’s open and when there is current, it causes the pin to move down against the force of the spring, and close the valve.

[@Meeyoutube]

👍❤️❤️🇱🇦🇱🇦

[@Lukelucas5521]

Lol engineers don’t run around opening and closing valves, operators do.😂

[@FarawayTundra]

I’ve seen multiple jobsites have maintenance personnel titled “engineer” for some reason. Its wierd

[@ihaiamarr962]

haha guilty 😂😭

[@Haza3137]

Maintenace

[@nhojadnab383]

You are limiting your point of view to a workplace lol. Which is VERY silly

[@byloyuripka9624]

a childish and ethnocentric view. "im right youre wrong"

[@Hamun002]

solenoids! the best way to safely test shooting a firearm in a stupid way!

[@zoteachhakchhuak3138]

Very good
