Question

Write discussion, conclusion, recommendations, real life application of HYDRAULIC PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE-REDUCING VALVE OPERATION

Answer 1

A hydraulic pressure reducing valve reduces the pressure in the branch circuit than the main circuit. It has a relief valve which deduces the system pressure in the main circuit. A pressure reducing valve is a 2 way valve which permits the system pressure to flow into the branch circuit. The forces stimulate the pressure reducing valve. The secondary pressure in the branch circuit is set below the main pressure of the hydraulic circuit. Hence, it becomes possible to lower the pressure in a part of the circuit.

It has a spring loaded spool to control the pressure in different parts of the circuit. Reverse flow is possible if the pressure in the branched circuit is higher than the main circuit. One disadvantage of the system is that if the pressure difference is too high it leads to heating of the system. If the heating of fluid increases, the viscosity of the fluid decreases leading to surface wear of the component.
