 FEATURES, SYMBOL

FEATURES x High Performance: R4 valves are designed for a maximum pressure of 350 bar
and a flow capacity ranging from 90 l/min (3/8HH) to 600 l/min (11/4HH).

x Sensitive Control: The DENISON poppet design delivers the minimum possible
friction, superior hysteresis and optimum response to changes in operating con-
ditions.

x Wide Selection: In addition to the various mounting options for the main valve
body, or as cartridge for manifold applications, the ordering code offers a range
of control options for valves and accessories. A solenoid vent valve is available
(VV01).

x Standardized Mounting: Mounting configurations for R4 Pressure Controls are

in accordance with international standards, and conform to CETOP-RP 121 H,
ISO6264. Vent valve option allows for remote pressure control.

 DESCRIPTION

GENERAL DENISON Pressure Valves are pilot operated controls consisting of two or three
sections; either a high flow, poppet type seat valve section controlled by the low
flow, adjustable pilot mounted on top or in the case of the Proportional Pressure
Reducer Valve, the proportional section P2 sandwiched between the pilot stage
and the main body.

R4R Reducer Valves are used to control the pressure in the secondary part of a
hydraulic circuit, and to maintain this pressure as set by the control knob on the
pilot, or according to the current input on the R4R . . . P2.

The R4R can be vented electrically by means of an optional vent valve, VV01. This
valve is mounted between the pilot valve and the main body.

With the DENISON combined Seat Valve and Pilot design, and the range of springs
available, it is possible to achieve extremely precise pressure setting.

All valve components are subject to rigorous quality control, based on inter-
national standards, thus permitting worldwide operation and interchangeable
spare parts.

OPERATION With the secondary Port A unpressurized, the system pressure in Port B is applied
to the mini flow control valve of the pilot valve, to the pilot cone and seat (where
present also to the cone of the proportional pilot valve), and to the top surface Z
of the main poppet, which is held against the seat from the bottom side by the
comparatively weak spring force.

Below the setting pressure the pressure on Z lifts the main poppet downwards off
its seat and allows flow from Port B to Port A.

If the pressure in A exceeds the set point, the pressure in Z increases also to the
setting pressure and the pilot cone is lifted from its seat, releasing a small pilot flow
to tank 1).

This allows the pressure at the top of the main poppet to remain at the set point.

In the resulting float position only enough flow is passed from B to A to maintain the
outlet pressure in A, as determined by the pilot head setting.

If and when the pressure in the secondary Port A equals the pilot stage setting, the
main poppet closes. The small check valve in the main poppet prevents the
secondary system from exceeding the pilot setting by allowing excess pressure to
drain. This relief function has a very limited flow capacity up to 5 l/min.

1) The proportional valve P2 varies the pressure applied to the top of the main poppet,
in proportion to the current input to the solenoid.
The manual setting of the pilot stage determines the maximum pressure and
should be approximately 10 % higher than the max. adjustable pressure of the
proportional section (see also page 12).
