Abstract
A solenoid valve for controlling a fluid flow comprises an actuating member moveable between a first position and a second position. Movement of the actuating member in one direction effects opening of the valve and movement of the actuating member in an opposite direction effects closing of the valve. The solenoid valve comprises a biasing member for biasing the actuating member towards the first position; and an armature moveable in response to energising/de-energising of the solenoid valve. Energising the solenoid valve is operable to move the armature to engage the actuating member and cause movement of the actuating member to the second position against the biasing member. De-energising the solenoid valve allows the biasing member to effect movement of the armature and the actuating member towards the first position, initially causing disengagement of the armature from the actuating member, and, subsequently causing retainment of the armature in a resting position.
