Solenoid Valves

Solenoid valves are electromechanical valves that use an electrical current to open or close a valve passage. One common use of solenoid valves in heat pumps is to control the flow of refrigerant in the evaporator and condenser coils. The solenoid valve regulates the flow of refrigerant from the compressor to the coil in the evaporator while it does the opposite in the condenser for the flow from the coil to the compressor. It is necessary to replace Solenoid because of wear and tear.

By controlling the flow of refrigerant in these coils, the solenoid valves help the heat pump maintain a consistent temperature and efficient operation.

Another use of solenoid valves in heat pumps is to control the flow of water in the system. For example, a solenoid valve may be used to control the flow of water to the outdoor unit of an air-source heat pump, or to control the flow of water in a ground-source heat pump system.
