The valve consists of a seat relief valve fitted with
an auxiliary control and by-pass single-way valve serving
for reverse direction of flow. The liquid is flowing through
the single-way valve from the channel (2) to the channel
(1) with a small pressure drop. In the opposite direction
the single-way valve on the rear side of which a gate valve
seat is fitted is pressed through the action of a spring and
the load pressure against the spring-loaded valve gate
valve. In this way the valve is nearly closed hermetically.
For ensuring the function of holding the load the spring
force should be set up to a value by 30 % higher when
compared to an expected pressure exerted by the load.
If a load pressure caused by the action of the force on the
consumer or in consequence of the liquid thermal
dilatation exceeds a set up value of the spring force
the gate valve is pressed out of the seat and
the overpressure in that case is relieved from channel (1)
to channel (2).
If the load has to be moved in opposite direction from
the other connection of the consumer being in that case
under pressure it is possible to ensure it with the help
of so called auxiliary control from the channel (3)
by introducing already certain control pressure.
The control pressure is calculated in the following way:
Control pressure = set up pressure – load pressure.
The necessary control pressure for opening the valve
corresponds to the difference between the set up
pressure and load pressure. In the formula as mentioned
above it is necessary to take into consideration that
in differential cylinders it is necessary to take into
consideration the relation of surfaces of the cylinder
piston in the direction of movement.
As soon as the control pressure attains a necessary
value the gate valve is moved out from the seat and
then the way from the channel (1) to the channel (2) is
released.
If now the load tries to accelerate and be fast as for the oil
supply the supply pressure decreases, therefore, also
the control pressure in the channel (3) is reduced.
The spring force tries to shut off the valve again,
therefore, in consequence of which the supply flow to
the consumer is reduced and the inlet pressure
increases again. In this way it is ensured a constant inlet
pressure by means of which it would be possible
to control the movement of the load.
As for appropriate basic surface finish the external parts
are zinc coated.
