Abstract: Study on the flow characteristics of solenoid valves is essential since they play pivot role in a flow circuit for controlling the flow through a required path for a specified duration. The flow characteristics of a 3/2 -way solenoid valve used in the four stroke propulsion engine of a ship is studied by performing numerical simulation using ANSYS CFX 12.0 commercial software package. The solenoid valve can be operated in two ways- either by pushing the hand operated button for moving the spool or by moving the spool using electric signal. The valve under study is a superspeed valve and the response time of moving spool is very short. The movement of the spool which is located in the middle of the body of solenoid valve affects the flow characteristics. This is examined by performing a static analysis by changing the position of the spool. The high pressure air passes through a pipe and reaches the engine tank of given dimensions. The simulation is performed for di!
fferent inlet pressure and spool displacement and the corresponding flow characteristics are obtained. The results of the three dimensional numerical simulation will be helpful in the proper design of solenoid valve for the industrial applications.
