Functional Description
The valve consists of a valve body, two regulating slide
valves mutually connected with a defined stroke and
with a fixed measuring orifice plate and three centring
springs.
The liquid flows from the channel (3) through
the measuring orifice plates to the channels (2) and (4).
At the same time the regulating slide valves are pressed
by the pressure difference one from the other against
the outer centring springs. If the load of the channels (2)
and (4) is the same the regulating slide valves are held
symmetrically to both the channels. At a different load
the slide valve on the side of the lower load shifted by an
increased pressure drop so far against the spring
located behind the slide valve as a new force balance is
created caused by changed cross sections of both
the regulating slide valves. By this regulating course it is
ensured the ratio of division is maintained also at
a different load and it is compensated in essence also at
a variation of load pressures.
If the liquid cannot flow through one of the channels (2)
and (4) the increased dynamic pressure in this channel
causes the displacement of both the slide valves to
the opposite side and it results in the fact that the other
channel is closed. Then, a negligible rate of flow
of the liquid only can flow through the released orifice
of the nozzle enabling for example the balance of end
positions of two consumers.
In the opposite direction of flow both the regulating slide
valves are pressed one to the other. Also in this case
different load pressures or eventually their changes
by changing the position of the regulating slide valves
cause a change of throttling cross sections, therefore,
the combining the flows occurs also in the same ratio
of division.
As for appropriate basic surface finish the external parts
are zinc coated.
