Description
Initially, flow passes freely from 2 to 1. When the pressure
at 1 exceeds the pressure setting, the valve acts to restrict
input flow at 2. This increases the pressure drop through
the valve and maintains consistent pressure at 1. The spring
chamber is drained at 3 to prevent a build-up of back-pressure
against the spool. Additionally, if pressure at 1 rises above
the pressure setting, flow is relieved to 3 until the setting
is re-attained. An undesirable increase in pressure in main
port 1 is additionaly prevented by lifting the spring plate off
the control spool. Tank pressure is additional to the spring
setting.
