Electronic Proportional Pressure Relief Valve
A cross-sectional drawing of a proportional pressure relief valve is shown in Fig. 1. It is essentially a single variable orifice controlled by a proportional solenoid. A magnetic force proportional to the applied input current is generated and reacted by the pressure force. Typical steady-state performance curves are shown in Fig. 2. Since the valve is a single stage device, flow rates are limited to around 5 litres/min. To control higher flow rates, the valve can be used as a pilot to control the vent flow of a hydro-cone type relief valve as shown in Fig. 3. Typical steady-state performance curves at 100 litres/min flow are shown in Fig. 4.
