A 3-way valve will pass fluid between ports 1 and 3 in its “normal” (resting) state, and pass fluid between ports 1 and 2 in its energized state. The following table shows the correspondence between port numbers and port letters for both styles of 3-way solenoid valve:
The diagram of an Asco 3-way solenoid valve shows the various components and how they are connected. The inlet and outlet ports are clearly labeled, as well as the exhaust port. The solenoid coil is shown as a coil of wire, and the plunger is depicted as a movable metal rod.
The term "3-way" (or "3-port") solenoid valve describes a valve with three ports, making it ideal for switching the direction of flow. There are three functional types of 3-way valves: normally-closed (NC), normally-open (NO), and universal.
A 3-way directional control solenoid valve has 3 pipe connections: the cavity port, the body orifice port and the stop port. It has 2 orifices: the body orif...
A 3-way solenoid valve is an electromechanical device that controls the flow of fluids or gases through different channels. It consists of three ports – an inlet, an outlet, and a exhaust – and an electromagnetic coil.
The ASCO 3-way solenoid valve diagram is a useful tool for understanding how the valve works and how to properly install and operate it. It allows technicians and engineers to troubleshoot any issues that may arise and ensure the valve is functioning correctly.
3-way solenoid valves operate in a manner analogous to single-pole double-throw (SPDT) electrical switches: with two paths for flow sharing one common terminal. 3-way solenoid valves have three ports for fluid, and like 2-way valves may be referred to either as normally-open and normally-closed.
