Description
A constant pressure compensated flow rate is established from E to R, while a minimum pressure differential of appr. 5 bar (70 psi) exists between the two ports. Input flow supplied to E in excess of the regulated output at R is by-passed to T. Output flow can be varied from closed to the nominal maximum rating of the valve and it can be dumped to Tank in two ways: 1) by a N.O. solenoid cartridge which determines Regulated flow dumping when de-energized; 2) by a pilot relief cartridge which determines Regulated flow dumping if the maximum allowed pressure is reached. Reverse flow from R to E is limited by the selected opening of the restrictor and is not pressure compensated. Flow from T to E or from T to R is not permitted.
