The position of the control spool of the pressure
compensator is controlled by the pressure drop
across the pilot orifice Bp and by the compensator
spring. The nominal control pressure difference is
factory-set to a value of 15 ± 1 bar.
As long as the pressure setting of the pilot valve
(in figures 6 and 7: proportional pressure valve
PVACRE***K**) is not yet reached, the control
valve spring keeps the control spool in the position
shown. The control port of the displacement control
valve is connected to the large servo piston area
and controls the position of the servo piston.
The displacement control operates as described
in chapter 2. The adjustment of the control pres-
sure is done between the control spool and control
orifice D
B1
.
When the set pressure of the pilot valve is reached,
this valve opens and control flow from the pump
outlet is passing the pilot orifice Bp and the pres-
sure pilot valve before returning to the pump drain
line. That creates a pressure drop across pilot
orifice Bp. If this pressure drop reaches the 15 bar
setting of the compensator, the control spool of the
pressure stage is in its control position.
That leads to a reduction of the pump displacement
in order to keep the pump outlet pressure constant.
As the displacement control wants to keep the
pump at the set displacement the proportional
solenoid is powered with nominal current. That con-
nects the control port of the displacement control
valve with the pump case (port T).
The control spool of the pressure stage now con-
trols the servo piston position by using the control
orifice B
D2
for pressure dividing. Pressure control is
achieved as with a standard remote compensator.
It is mandatory, that the displacement setting of the
displacement control stage is high enough, to cover
the flow requirements of the system, the pump and
the control valves to maintain the desired pressure.
The following valve is to be used with this module:
PVACRE***K**. Other valve models can lead to
instability problems or malfunction of the control.
This valve is designed for a nominal pressure of
350 bar. By using the MAX adjustment at the control
module, the input commend range can easily be
adjusted to any smaller nominal system pressure.
In this way also for these lower pressures full
resolution of the input command can be achieved.
For basic adjustment of the control valves and the
LVDT see chapter 10. For electrical connection and
cable requirements see chapter 11.
Note: Parker has decided for this design with a
separate hydraulic-mechanically operated remote
pressure compensator, which overrides the pro-
portional displacement control for three reasons:
1. Piston pumps of the PV series have a large servo
piston. That offers several advantages. On the other
hand the servo piston has a high flow demand for
compensation. A hydraulic mechanical pressure
compensator - as used here - can provide much
higher control flows, than a proportional directional
control valve used by other pump models, where
this valve also provides pressure control basing of
the signal of a pressure transducer.
2. The hydraulic-mechanical control valve „senses“
a pressure peak in the system, as the pressure acts
direct on the control spool. Depending on the actual
system pressure very high forces are available to
operate the spool. Therefore this control rarely will
tend to stick or malfunction, as proportional direc-
tional control valves may do under contaminated
fluid conditions.
3. The pressure control using a proportional pres-
sure control valve to pilot it, does not require a
pressure sensor at the pump outlet. Nevertheless
a closed loop pressure control can be offered if
required (see next chapter).
