| Apr 4, 2015 at 2:48 | comment | added | Dan D. | Would it be better to use a valve that required power to stay open and would automatically close when power is removed from it? | |
| Apr 4, 2015 at 2:17 | comment | added | Hot Licks | 24V? 48V? AC? DC? You might be able to achieve that much current with a large capacitor. | |
| Apr 4, 2015 at 1:38 | comment | added | WhatRoughBeast | 1 - What voltage is your solenoid? 2 - Please define "cost-effective". $1? $10? $100? 3 - In line with 2, what does your valve control? That is, what do you lose if the valve stays open? 4 - Are there size constraints on your backup? | |
