Flushing valve with pressure holding valve SV Series 10
RE 95512/05.10
The flushing valve is used to flush heated hydraulic fluid from
the closed circuit, and, thus, dirt particles as well.
Via the flushing piston, the respective low-pressure side of the
closed circuit is detected and, at a pressure difference exceeding
approx. 5 bar, flushed out of this line.
During this process, it is necessary that the flushed quantity
and the case drain fluid of the axial piston unit be replaced via
an infeed. The infeed with filtered and cooled hydraulic fluid
decreases the circuit temperature. The flushed quantity is
determined by an orifice in the tank canal. This is dependent on
the orifice size, the pressure difference between low pressure
and tank line as well as the current viscosity.
A pressure holding valve is also installed in the tank canal. As
soon as the pressure level drops below the set holding pressure,
e.g due to an excessive flush quantity, the pressure holding
valve reduces the flush quantity, thereby preventing an imper-
missible pressure drop.
The flushing valve with pressure holding valve is available in
two basic versions:
As a line valve which is connected to the two lines of the –
closed circuit via the piping. Fixing to the device frame is by
means of three through-holes.
The separate arrangement enables universal use.
As a flange valve which is flanged onto the adjacent high- –
pressure ports of the variable pumps A10VG and A4VG
series 32. Fixing is by means of the screws for the SAE
flange port.
This arrangement eliminates the piping and reduces installation
costs and effort.
The tank ports of the flushing valves are directed to the tank via
the cooler.
