Pilot operated Check valves model CL allow free flow in the direction from Port A to
Port B and offer leakage free closure in opposite direction.
Reverse flow can be achieved by applying pilot pressure to their Port X.
These valves are meant for applications where the reverse flow (from Port B to Port A)
encounters resistance downstream of the Port A.
The intensity of pilot pressure required to keep the valve open during reverse flow depends
upon the valve model, pressure at Port A and pressure existing at the Port B when the
reverse flow starts. Pilot pressure can be calculated using formulae given below.
In most cases, smooth decompression and opening of the valve for flow from Port B to
Port A can be effectively achieved by controlling pressure and flow to the Pilot Port X.
However, in certain cases it is necessary to decompress the oil in the cylinder first before
admitting the oil in the cylinder for the return stroke for smooth reversal.

Formulae for Pilot pressure required to open the valve for flow from Port B to Port A
To open decompression spool >PA/12.5 + PB/16 + 0.5 Where,
To open the main poppet >PB/2 - PA/3 + 0.5 PA = Pressure at Port A.
PB = Pressure at Port B when the flow occurs.
