An electromagnetic flow control valve assembly includes a valve body having first and second ports and a valve member for controlling fluid communication between said first and second ports. An annular diaphragm is connected at its inner periphery to the valve member and at its outer periphery to the valve body so as to define with said valve body first and second chambers. The first chamber is in continuous fluid communication with the first port through a passage in the valve member while the second chamber is in continuous communication with the second port. The area of the diaphragm subjected to fluid pressure within the second chamber being equal to the effective area of the valve member subjected to fluid pressure within the second chamber to thereby offset the force of fluid pressure acting on the valve member.

An electromagnetic float control valve assembly comprising a body having first and second ports, a wall within said body having an aperture therethrough located between said first and second ports, a valve member sealingly engageable with said wall about said aperture for controlling fluid communication between said ports, a diaphragm connected betwen said valve member and said body and defining with said body first and second chambers on opposite sides of said diaphragm, a first passage extending through said valve member providing communication between said first port and said first chamber and a second passage providing communication between said second port and said second chamber, the effective area of said diaphragm which is subjected to fluid pressure within said second chamber being the same as that of said valve member which is subjected to fluid pressure within said second chamber to thereby offset the force of fluid pressure acting on said valve member, electromagnetic means operatively associated with said valve member for moving said valve member in proportion to the current applied to said electromagnetic means for proportionally controling fluid communication between said first and second ports and protective guide means comprised of a cylindrical sleeve disposed within said second chamber with said diaphragm located within said cylindrical sleeve for protecting said diaphragm from foreign matter emanating from said second port into said second chamber, said diaphragm being disposed in rolling contact with said sleeve to guide and accurately position said valve member relative to said aperture.
