Today, in submarine projects, the largest group of actuators is remotely controlled valves, which are controlled by solenoidcontrolled
directional valves. Comparative analysis allows to select development options and evaluate alternative uses of
devices to control remotely controlled valves.
The article aims to conduct a comparative analysis of four-way solenoid-controlled directional valves used on submarines as
control devices of remotely controlled valves. The comparative analysis shows that state-of-the-art directional valves have
uniform design, specifications, and the operating principle, which are prerequisites for the development of a new, more compact
and advanced directional valve to improve equipment layout in submarine compartments with numerous devices.
Keywords: submarine; electromagnetically operated distributors; control; remote controlled valves; operating principle; main characteristics.
