Abstract
A control circuit of a solenoid actuated pump includes an energizing means for energizing a solenoid of the solenoid actuated pump, a detecting means for detecting the electrical energy of a power supply for supplying the electrical energy to the energizing means, and a processing unit for comparing the value of the electrical energy detected by the detecting means with a predetermined value to be supplied to the solenoid and supplying a control signal to the energizing means so as to adjust the detected value of the electrical energy to the predetermined value.
