  • Magnetic Latching Valve and Method of Control
    Publication number: 20230090383
    Abstract: An example system includes a valve assembly having: (i) a plurality of ports including an inlet port, an outlet port, and a vent port, (ii) a solenoid coil having a cavity therein, (iii) an armature slidably accommodated in the cavity of the solenoid coil, (iv) a magnet fixedly disposed within the solenoid coil, wherein the magnet applies a magnetic force on the armature in a distal direction, and (v) a spring applying a biasing force on the armature in a proximal direction; and a controller sending a signal having a particular polarity to the solenoid coil such that the signal is applied to the solenoid coil for a particular period of time, and resending the signal periodically every particular time interval.
