What brand solenoid do you use? Is it a Clippard?Clippard solenoids are the ones that get the worst wrap about getting warm. I have one that runs 24/7 and has been for 6 months. I just put my hand on it and it is just warm to the touch, but not uncomfortable. I don't have a problem with that.
The one that I mentioned is a Clippard solenoid. I'll edit my comment to make it a bit more clear.What brand do you use? Is it a Clippard?
would anyone agree that they get warm/hot because a cold gas is being pushed threw a small hole and when that gas goes threw the small hole it can freeze? so the heat is to prevent that? just a thought

If that was your question, why didn't you ask that?The reason I started this thread is that I work in a sales in a hydraulic shop in the Seattle Tacoma area. I was talking to one of our vendors that sells solenoid valves for pneumatic and different gases. He was telling me that most solenoid valves are not meant to be engaged for long periods. They have special coils that are long duration coils so they do not overheat. So I am thinking that a lot of the coils in use by us maybe the wrong type.
