Description
When pressure at 2 rises above the spring bias pressure, the check seat is pushed away from the piston and flow is allowed from 2 to 1. When load pressure at 1 rises above the pressure setting, the direct-acting, differential area relief function is activated and flow is relieved from 1 to 2. With pilot pressure at 3, the pressure setting is reduced in proportion to the stated ratio of the valve, until fully open with free-flow from 1 to 2. The spring chamber is drained to 2, and any back-pressure at 2 is additive to the pressure setting in all functions. Valve design prevents spring going solid and complete unscrewing during adjusting.
¹) At 70% of pressure setting
