6. DESCRIPTION OF DSV10
6.1. GENERAL
DSV10 as a
low cost alternative
to the SAF10
The 3-way safety block DSV10 is used
to shut off and discharge hydraulic
accumulators or consumers. It complies
with relevant safety standards in
accordance with DIN EN 982 and the
German industrial safety regulations
BetrSichV.
The HYDAC pressure relief valve DB12 is
used with the DSV series. This is a direct-
operated pressure relief valve in poppet
valve construction with excellent opening
and closing characteristics.
This version of the DB12 complies with the
requirements of the Pressure Equipment
Directive 97/23/EC with CE marking.
There are four different models:
DSV10M, z
manual discharge,
standard L-ball
DSV10M-T-ball, z
manual discharge,
T-ball
DSV10EY, z
manual/solenoid-operated discharge,
open when de-energised
DSV10EZ, z
manual/solenoid-operated discharge
closed when de-energised
The essential difference compared to the
SAF10 lies in the shut-off and discharge
function of the DSV10. On request we can
supply other models to cover almost all
applications, e.g. for aggressive media.
On request we can supply test certicates
to EN 10204 and quality test certicates to
DIN 55350, Part 18.
6.2. CONSTRUCTION
The DSV 3-way safety block consists of
a valve block with an integral HYDAC
pressure relief valve and a shut-off valve.
It has ports for the pump, pressure gauge,
tank and accumulator.
In addition, an optional solenoid-operated
2-way directional valve allows automatic
discharge of the accumulator or consumer.
Accumulator operation
Shutting off the system pressure
and simultaneously discharging
the accumulator
The DSV10 can be used as a cost-
effective alternative to the SAF10. Unlike
the SAF10, the DSV10 shuts off when
discharging simultaneously to the tank.

6.3. PORTS
The DSV has the following ports:
S – Accumulator port
(M33x2 DIN 3852 Part 3)
P – Inline port
(G 3/8 and G 1/2)
T – Tank port
(G 1/4)
M – Pressure gauge port
(G 1/4)
6.4. FUNCTION
When the accumulator is in operation the
change-over ball valve connects the pump
port with the accumulator. At the same time
the accumulator is monitored for pressure
via the built-in pressure relief valve.
By switching over the ball valve, the pump
port is shut off leakage-free on the inlet
side and the accumulator is discharged
simultaneously to the tank.
During switching all three ports (P, S
and T) are momentarily interconnected
(negative switching overlap). If a solenoid-
operated 2/2 directional poppet valve
is tted, automatic discharge is possible
(e.g. in the event of a power failure or shut-
down).
6.5. NOTES
Ball valves are not designed to be used as
ow control valves; therefore they should
always be either fully open or fully closed,
to avoid damaging the sealing cups.
To ensure correct functioning, pressure
and temperature specications must be
observed.
