A Direct Acting Solenoid Valve (DASV) is an essential component widely used in fluid control systems to regulate the flow of gases, liquids, or steam in industrial, automotive, and HVAC applications. Unlike pilot-operated valves, direct acting solenoid valves operate solely through the electromagnetic force generated by the solenoid coil, without requiring any external pressure to initiate valve movement. This makes them highly reliable and suitable for smaller and more precise applications.

Key Components and Functionality of a Direct Acting Solenoid Valve A Direct Acting Solenoid Valve consists of a solenoid coil, a plunger or armature, a valve body, and a spring. When an electrical current is applied to the solenoid coil, a magnetic field is generated, which attracts the plunger, causing it to move. The movement of the plunger either opens or closes the valve, allowing or stopping the flow of the fluid. The valve body houses the internal passages where the fluid flows. The plunger interacts with the valve seat, which is an integral part of controlling the flow. A spring is typically used to return the plunger to its original position once the current is switched off, ensuring that the valve returns to its default state (either open or closed).
