An electric valve is a machine used to regulate the flow of air or liquid by holding back or channeling it.
The valve is mainly operated by applying an electric current and opening and closing the valve with the electric signal.
Using an ON and OFF switch, the valve is operated by an electric circuit.
By pressing the switch, the motor inside rotates to open and close the valve.
A similar machine is called a solenoid valve. This type of valve is not much different from electric valves in terms of application, but the principle of operation is different.
Solenoid valves have an internal coil that opens and closes the valve by magnetic force.
Solenoid valves open and close in a linear motion, whereas electric valves are opened and closed by the rotational motion of the motor.
Electric valves are used where liquid is flowing. For example, electric valves are used in rocket engines.
In rocket engines, oxygen and hydrogen are mixed to cause an explosion, and the propulsive force is used as the driving force to move the rocket.
Electric valves are used to finely adjust the amounts of oxygen and hydrogen.
They are also used in more familiar applications. They are used in a wide variety of things, such as automatic lubrication systems for baths and automatic water supply systems for home use.
These are manufactured in such a way that the electric valves do not open and close by a switch but automatically open and close by a timer based on time.
Depending on the type of electric valves, they can be used not only for liquid control but also for air conditioning, steam control, and many other applications.
Moreover, because they are airtight and safe, they are used not only in industrial machinery but also in medical and other industries.
Electric valves are used in various industries.They are used in rockets, for example, so they may seem like very complicated machines. However, once you understand how it works, you can make a simple valve by yourself.
If it is possible to make one by yourself, it can be very useful for water supply in the home, etc., because it can control the liquid.
If it is possible to make one, it may be very useful in the home, for example, in the water supply system.
