HydraForce, Inc. Spool-Type, 3-Port, Normally Closed, Control Valve Flow Control HyPerformance® HPV16-30

A high pressure, solenoid-operated, pressure-compensated , spool-type, normally closed, priority type proportional flow control valve. It can be used as a priority-type flow regulator with pressure-compensated , regulated and bypass flow. It can also be used as a restrictive-type 2-way, pressure-compensated flow regulator when the bypass line (port 2) is blocked. OPERATION With inlet flow at port 1, the HPV16-30 will regulate priority flow out of port 3 regard-less of system working pressure, with flow rate proportional to the current applied to the solenoid. Excess flow will bypass out of port 2. The bypass flow can be used for auxiliary function control. Note: When used as a bypass flow control in applications where the priority flow port will be blocked by external valving, bypass pressure drop will increase unless a small amount of leakage is provided for the priority port. In restrictive mode applications, bypass port 2 has to be blocked. Flow rate out of port 3 remains proportional to current applied to the solenoid regardless of load (pressure) applied to port 3.
