Balanced load control valves combine a balanced modulating element with a reverse flow check. The check valve allows free flow from the directional valve (port 2) to the load (port 1) while the pilot to open modulating element controls flow from port 1 to port 2. Pilot pressure at port 3 determines the flow setting.
- This valve has no relief function. Not even thermal expansion relief.
- Maximum valve leakage at reseat for I, K, M ranges is 5 drops/min. (0,3 cc/min.) at 200 psi (14 bar) below cracking pressure; E and G ranges is 3 cubic in/min. (50 cc/min.) at 50 psi (3,5 bar) below cracking pressure; H range is 3 cubic in/min. (50 cc/min.) at 75 psi (5 bar) below cracking pressure.
