An addtional portfor an external rain to the tank is added only fora side mounting confgura- tin. ‘The “load sensing” priority valves are built into gear pumps and divide the flow rate delivered by the pump (Qy,) nto two separate and variable flows (Qcr + Qer). Qor Varies in rela- tion to the priority port demand, while the excess flow is conveyed to Qer. These valves are used mainly to feed mo- bile machinery steering systems equipped with a clo- sed-centre steering unit. The CF port is connected to the steering unit inlet port, and the EF port is connected to the auxiliary hydraulic control system (hoist, shovel, ec.), while the LS portis connected to the respective LS of the steering Unit. The valves are available asa staticordynamic version Dynamic Dynamic with valve depending on the type of system to feed A version with a pressure relief valve (C3). ina static or dynamic configuration, is available to protect the control- led line (Qc), for the case in which the steering unit is not so equipped, In the static “load sensing” when the steering unitis at rest (steering stopped), the LS signal has no flow. As soon as the steering wheel begins to move, the steering unit sends a signal, through the pilot line, to the pump oad sensing" valve that automatically regulates the flow rate and the pressure to the real levels demanded by the steering unit. In the dynamic “load sensing” even when the steering unitis at rest (steering stopped), the LS signal has a pilot low. The static or dynamic ‘load sensing’ function on the pump must be selected according to the type of system to feed, recalling that dynamic “load sensing” ensures shorter response times, more fluid mo- vements and eliminates malfunctioning that may occur under low-temperature operating conditions. 0045-005 002 373 CASAPPA Load sensing poy vaves LOAD SENSING PRIORITY VALVES - GENERAL DATA Nominal ; Wax pressure | Pressure setng ange Ba tow” | vs aem | unin BB veteran [a Bar 106 40 290 4060 | 20+ 280 att 80 (..) = Requested setting value in bar a7 120 Stand-by pressure pending the type of orifices and springs Coney o a pressure oftice orice 2 oriice 3 | spring setting bar (pal com fn) om 0) om i) ar (psi 5173) | 0:75 (0.0295) [0.8 0.0915) | Close m) 458) 71102) | 0.75 (0.0288) | 0.8 0.0315) | 0.5 0.0197) (58) 8 (116) 0,75 (0.0295) 0,8 (0.0315) 0,6 (0.0236) 4 (58) 9 (131) 0,75 (0.0295) 0,8 (0.0315) 0,7 (0.0276) 4 (58) 573) _|_0.75 (0.0295) | _1.9(0.9512) | _Closea (m) 4 (58) 7 (402) _|_0.75 (0.0295) | 1.9.0.0512) | 0.5 (0.0197) 358) ac146) 0175 (0.0285) | _1.910.0542) 0.6 (0.0298) 74168) 9 (131) 0,75 (0.0295) 4,3 (0.0512) 0,7 (0.0276) 4 (58) S14) | 0.75 (0.0285) | 000.0915) |closee cm) 7902) 13.789) | 0.75 (0.0295) | 0.8(0.0815)_| 0.5 (0.0197) 7 (402) 45 218) [0.75,(0.0295) | 0.0 0.0915) | 0.6 (0.0296) 7 (102) 17 287) | 0.75 (0.0295) | 0.8(0.0815) | 0,7 (0.0276) 7 (402) strat) | 0.75(0.0285) | 1.3°0.0512) | ciosea 7 (102) 13,789) | 0.75 (0.0295) | 1.9(0.0512) | 0.5 (0.0197) 7 (492) 15,218) | 0.75 (0.0295) 1.910.051) | 0.6 (0.0236) rT) 7 247) [0.75 (0.0295) | 1.300.0512) | 0,7 0.0276) 7 (402) 43 (189) 0,75 (0.0295) 0,8 (0.0315) Closed (Ml) 10 (145) 15.216) | 0.75 (0.0295) | 0,8 (0.0315) | 0.5 0.0107) | _10.(145) 19.276) | 0.75 (0.0296)__| 0,8 (0.0316) | _0,6,0.0296) | __10.(148) 24 (948) | 0,75 (0.0295) | 0.8 (0.0915) | _0.7 (0.0276) | 10 (146) 43 (189) 0,75 (0.0295) 1,3 (0.0512) Closed (M1) 10 (145) 15.218) [0.75 (0.0295) | _1,9(0.0512) | 05 (0.0197) _[ 10.145) 191276) | 0.75 (0.0296) 4.3(0.05%2) | _0,6,0.0296)_|__ 10.0148) 24 (948) _[_0,7510.0295) | 1.9 (0.0812) | 0.7 (0.0276) | 10 (145) ‘The values shown inthe table were obtained atthe following conditions: [Nominal fow = 21.1 US gpm (80 tinin) = Standard combination Line CF = closed “Line EF = 0 psi bar) = Static load sensing (orifice 3 closed) ‘The stand-by pressure is the pressure on CF when the system is at rest.
