New 2- and 3-way electronic latching valve offers balance of forces — through precise placement of a permanent magnet in the valve core — to produce a bi-stable valve. Short pulse of current opens the valve, which latches open indefinitely after the current stops with no power required. A pulse of current in the opposite direction closes it. It consumes less energy and produces less heat than a standard solenoid valve when used in extended duty cycle applications.
