Formalized mathematical model of a solenoid valve

Electromagnetic valves are widely used in production at chemical and oil refineries, in filtration hydraulic pipelines, agriculture irrigation systems and mixing and dosing installations, household water and gas supply systems, internal combustion engines, liquid rocket engines, etc. Electromagnetic valves design and development for certain needs should take into account static (control voltage and current, operation pressure and temperature) and dynamic (time and response speed) parameters. Simple and universal mathematical models of a solenoid valve that could be used not only to monitor its operation, but also at the product design stage, are missing in the scientific literature. The paper proposes the solenoid valve mathematical model using the SimInTech software program. It uses the developed mathematical model to carry out numerical experiments correctly reproducing the solenoid valve operation. The paper shows that the solenoid valve switching is determined by relationship between the external pressure, retaining spring rigidity, dynamic damping level and the electromagnet electrophysical characteristics.
