1UL255 - Unloading Valve
Two pump
Up to 200 L/min (40 USgpm) • 350 bar (5000 psi)
Description
Two-pump unloader valves
are used in systems with
combinations of two (or more)
pumps to give high flow at low
pressure and high pressure
at low flow. The valves
bypass the flow from the low
pressure pump(s) to tank at a
pre-set pressure. This allows
pump selection to give, for
example, rapid advance and
high power compaction with
the most economic usage
of system components and
energy requirements.
Operation
Pump inlet to P1 and P2 is
combined to give maximum
flow at low pressure. When
the load pressure increases to
the valve setting the high flow
(low pressure) pump is
bypassed from P1 to tank
allowing nearly all system
power to be used for the high
pressure pump.
(See graph for the pressure
drop of the dumped flow). The
system relief valve provides
protection by limiting the
maximum pressure in the
system line.
Features
This is a self contained system
including two replaceable
cartridges with full adjustment
through their respective
ranges. Hardened working
components give long,
trouble-free life and single
body reduces plumbing to a
minimum.
