Are you looking for a diaphragm valve that has a compact flow design and can have various media types? Here at MGA Controls, we have a wide range of diaphragm valves, from specific application valves to general-purpose valves. In this blog, we explain the advantages, features and uses of a diaphragm valve.
What is a diaphragm solenoid valve?
Diaphragm solenoid valves are available in a range of materials to suit various industrial applications and process media. In simple terms, the main purpose of a diaphragm solenoid valve is to control the flow of liquids and gases. Diaphragm solenoid valves have a rubber diaphragm that moves up and down within the body of the valve, causing opening and closing against a hard seat. This causes the state of the valve to change to either an open or closed position.
Advantages of a Diaphragm Valve
Diaphragm solenoid valves are a small, yet often crucial, part of process control. Here are some advantages of choosing a diaphragm valve from MGA Controls:
• They are applicable to a wide range of environments and applications.
• Various types and materials of diaphragm solenoid valves are available.
• The media flowing through the valve acts as a pilot and influences the position of the diaphragm, putting the valve in its most suitable state.
• We have diaphragm solenoid valves that are appropriate for many process media types.
• We have a team of technical experts who are happy to help you choose the perfect valve for your specific application and answer any questions.
Diaphragm-type solenoid valve working principle
Most diaphragm solenoid valves are associated with 2-way solenoid valves with a rubber diaphragm that moves up and down. This causes the valve to open or close against a hard seat, thus changing the state of the valve. In direct-acting or forced-lift solenoid valves, the pressure of the media flowing through the valves acts as a pilot and influences the position of the diaphragm, thus changing the state of the valve.
