PVG 100 function
PVG 100 with open center PVPF

When the pump is started and the main spools in the individual basic modules are in the neutral position,
oil flows from the pump, through connection P, across the pressure matching spool (11) to tank. The oil
flow led across the pressure matching spool determines the pump pressure (stand-by pressure).
When one or more of the main spools are actuated, the highest load pressure is fed through the shuttle
valve circuit (4, 7) to the spring chamber (10) behind the pressure matching spool, and completely or
partially closes the connection to tank. Pump pressure is applied to the opposite side of the pressure
matching spool. The pressure relief valve (1) will open should the load pressure exceed the set value,
diverting pump flow back to tank.
Optional PVPC with check valve option may be used in systems where it is necessary to operate the PVG
100 valve by means of the electrical remote control without pump flow.
For additional information about PVPC refer to the publication 520L0344.
Optional electrically actuated pilot shut off valve PVPP provides additional functional system safety by
removing pilot oil from the electrical actuation or hydraulic actuation system, disabling main spool
actuation. When the PVPP is used with the PVBZ P.O. check valve system it is possible to disable actuation
during mechanical actuation

PVG 100 with closed center PVPV / PVPVP / PVPVM

In load sensing systems the load pressure is led to the pump control via the LS connection (2 in the
diagram below). When the work functions are in the spring neutral position the LS pressure is drained to
tank via the PVG valve. In this condition the pump control sets the displacement so that leakage in the
system is compensated for, to maintain the set stand-by pressure (pump margin). When a main spool is

PVG 100 function
actuated the pump control will adjust the displacement so that the set differential pressure between P
and LS is maintained.
The PVG100 Inlet LS relief valve (1) is specifically designed to ensure a constant margin pressure across
the main spool, providing demanded regulated flow during maximum load pressure conditions. This
relief adjustment is critical when there are two or more functions being operated together. An incorrectly
adjusted Inlet relief could result in a vast reduction in regulated flow from the adjacent functions that
operate at a lower load pressure. To accurately adjust the inlet LS relief, the pump standby pressure must
be known in addition to the maximum operating load pressure.
Example
Pressure comp pressure level 172 bar [2500 psi]
LS standby pressure requirement that delivers the desired flow -20 bar [-290 psi]
Maximum load pressure requirement 152 bar [2210 psi]
Inlet relief pressure setting 152 bar [2210 psi]
Optional PVPC with check valve option may be used in systems where it is necessary to operate the PVG
100 valve by means of the electrical remote control without pump flow.
For additional information about PVPC refer to publication 520L0344.
Optional electrically actuated pilot shut off valve PVPP provides additional functional system safety by
removing pilot oil from the electrical actuation or hydraulic actuation system, disabling main spool
actuation. When the PVPP is used with the PVBZ P.O. check valve system it is possible to disable actuation
during mechanical actuation.
PVG 100 closed center priority steering PVPVP module

The priority steering version of the PVPV will accommodate pump flows up to 250 l/min [66 US gal/min]
and Control Flow (CF) up to 60 l/min [16 US gal/min] for dynamic steering systems. Additional return port
is included with the PVPVP module.
PVG 100 closed center PVPVM module

The mid-inlet version of the PVPV will accommodate pump flows up to 400 l/min [106 US gal/min]
providing greater efficiency and flexibility when combined with standard and high flow work function
modules.
PVG 100 basic modules PVB

In the pressure-compensated basic module the compensator (9) maintains a constant pressure drop
across the main spool (11) - both when the load changes and when a module with a higher load pressure
is actuated.
Besides independent flow the other advantage of post-compensated work sections is the ability to
control multifunction operation when flow demand exceeds pump capacity. This means that all work
sections will continue to function regardless of differences in their load and regardless of the pump flow.
The flow relationships specified between functions will be maintained over the full flow range of the
pump.
The shock valves PVLP (10) with fixed setting and the suction valves PVLA on ports A and B are used for
the protection of the individual working function against intermittent pressure overload and/or
cavitation. Optional facilities for dual shock valves for ports A and B provide extra passage area reducing
pressure drop for anti-cavitation applications.
Pilot operated check valve system PVBZ option (6, 8) on ports A and B are uses to reduce the work port to
tank leakage eliminating the need for external actuator load holding in non-critical load holding
applications. All PVG 100 modules contain an integrated T0 drain system to insure optimal performance
for PVBZ and all electrical actuation offerings. T0 is most effective when connected directly to the
hydraulic system reservoir independent of the main Tank return system.

PVG 100 function
PVG 100 tank modules

Designed for low pressure drop at high return flows all PVT modules include facilities for PVLP shock
valves insuring pressure passage spike protection during pump starvation recovery.

Load sensing controls

The LS control matches system requirements for both pressure and flow in the circuit regardless of the
working pressure. Used with a closed center control valve, the pump remains in low-pressure standby
mode with zero flow until the valve is opened. The LS setting determines standby pressure.

P101 968E
P101 967
Most load sensing systems use parallel, closed center, control valves with special porting that allows the
highest work function pressure (LS signal) to feed back to the LS control.
Margin pressure is the difference between system pressure and the LS signal pressure. The LS control
monitors margin pressure to read system demand. A drop in margin pressure means the system needs
more flow. A rise in margin pressure tells the LS control to decrease flow.
LS control with bleed orifice (do not use with PVG valves)
The load sense signal line requires a bleed orifice to prevent high-pressure lockup of the pump control.
Most load-sensing control valves include this orifice. An optional internal bleed orifice is available, for use
with control valves that do not internally bleed the LS signal to tank.
Integral PC function
The LS control also performs as a PC control, decreasing pump flow when system pressure reaches the PC
setting. The pressure compensating function has priority over the load sensing function.
For additional system protection, install a relief valve in the pump outlet line.
Load sensing system characteristics:

• Variable pressure and flow
• Low pressure standby mode when flow is not needed
• System flow adjusted to meet system requirements
• Lower torque requirements during engine start-up
• Single pump can supply flow and regulate pressure for multiple circuits
• Quick response to system flow and pressure requirements
Remote pressure compensated controls

The remote PC control is a two-stage control that allows multiple PC settings. Remote PC controls are
commonly used in applications requiring low and high pressure PC operation.

The remote PC control uses a pilot line connected to an external hydraulic valve. The external valve
changes pressure in the pilot line, causing the PC control to operate at a lower pressure. When the pilot
line is vented to reservoir, the pump maintains pressure at the load sense setting.
When pilot flow is blocked, the pump maintains pressure at the PC setting. An on-off solenoid valve can
be used in the pilot line to create a low-pressure standby mode. A proportional solenoid valve, coupled
with a microprocessor control, can produce an infinite range of operating pressures between the low
pressure standby setting and the PC setting.
Size the external valve and plumbing for a pilot flow of 3.8 l/min [1 US gal/min]. For additional system
protection, install a relief valve in the pump outlet line.
Remote pressure compensated system characteristics:

• Constant pressure and variable flow
• High or low pressure standby mode when flow is not needed
• System flow adjusts to meet system requirements
• Single pump can provide flow to multiple work functions
Typical applications for remote pressure compensated systems:

• Modulating fan drives
• Anti-stall control with engine speed feedback
• Front wheel assist
• Road rollers
• Combine harvesters
• Wood chippers
PVG 100 main spool with pressure compensated control

The PC control maintains constant system pressure in the hydraulic circuit by varying the output flow of
the pump. Used with a closed center control valve, the pump remains in high pressure standby mode at
the PC setting with zero flow until the function is actuated.

Once the closed center valve is opened, the PC control senses the immediate drop in system pressure
and increases pump flow by increasing the swashplate angle.
The pump continues to increase flow until system pressure reaches the PC setting. If system pressure
exceeds the PC setting, the PC control reduces the swashplate angle to maintain system pressure by
reducing flow.
The PC control continues to monitor system pressure and changes swashplate angle to match the output
flow with the work function pressure requirements.
If the demand for flow exceeds the capacity of the pump, the PC control directs the pump to maximum
displacement. In this condition, actual system pressure depends on the actuator load.
For additional system protection, install a relief valve in the pump outlet line. * Do not use the PVG 32
with bleed down load sense control.
Pressure compensated system characteristics

• Constant pressure and variable flow
• High pressure standby mode when flow is not needed
• System flow adjusts to meet system requirements
• Single pump can provide flow to multiple work functions
Typical applications for pressure compensated systems

• Constant force cylinders (bailers, compactors, refuse trucks)
• On/off fan drives
• Drill rigs
• Sweepers
• Trenchers

PVG 100 function
PVMR, friction detent
The friction detent PVMR allows the directional spool to

be held in any position, resulting in infinitely variable, PVMR, friction detent
reversible, pressure compensated flow.
This can be sustained indefinitely without having to
continue to hold the mechanical lever.
Friction detent spool position may be affected by high
differential actuator flow forces and system vibration
resulting in work function flow reduction.
PVMF, mechanical float position lock

Allows the float spool to be held in the float position after release of the mechanical handle.
PVMF, standard mount only PVMF, optional mount only
P → A → F (Push-in) P → A → F (Pull-out)
PVBS, main mpools for flow control (standard)

With post-compensated valves, the A and B work port flow will depend on the pressure drop across the
main spool PVBS.
In open center systems, this pressure drop (standby-pressure) is determined by the volume of fixed pump
flow led to tank across the pressure adjusting spool in the inlet PVPF and the pressure adjusting spool
bias spring pressure. Since the pressure drop varies with pump flow volume led to tank, the A and B work
port flow will vary.
In closed center systems, the pressure drop across the main spool equals the standby setting of the
pump, measured at the P-port of the valve. The A and B work port flow will remain unchanged as long as
the standby is unchanged.
PVBS, main spools for flow control (with linear characteristic)

PVBS main spools with linear characteristic deliver a higher flow gain directly proportional to the linear
spool travel beyond the dead band.

PVG 100 function

Building in safety
All makes and all types of control valves (including proportional valves) can fail. Thus the necessary
protection against the serious consequences of function failure should always be built into the system.
For each application an assessment should be made for the consequences of pressure failure and
uncontrolled or blocked movements.
To determine the degree of protection that is required to be built into the application, system tools such
an FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) and Hazard and Risk Analysis can be used.
FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) IEC EN 61508

FMEA is a tool used for analyzing potential risks. This analytical technique is utilized to define, identify,
and prioritize the elimination or reduction of known and/or potential failures from a given system before
it is released for production.
Please refer to IEC FMEA Standard 61508.
Hazard and risk analysis ISO 12100-1/14121

This analysis is a tool used in new applications as it will indicate whether there are special safety
considerations to be meet according to the machine directives EN 13849.
Dependent on the determined levels conformety this analysis will determine if any extra requirements
for the product design, development process, production process or maintenance, i.e. the complete
product life cycle.
W Warning
All makes/brands and types of directional control valves – inclusive proportional valves – can fail and
cause serious damage. It is therefore important to analyze all aspects of the application.
Because the proportional valves are used in many different operation conditions and applications, the
manufacturer of the application is alone responsible for making the final selection of the products – and
assuring that all performance, safety and warning requirements of the application are met.
The process of choosing the control system – and safety levels – is governed by the machine directives
EN 13849 (Safety related requirements for control systems).

The pressure relief valve is set at an oil flow of 15 l/min [4 US gal/min]. Setting range: 30 to 350 bar [435 to

Open center flow rating

The flow rating of the different main spools will depend on the standby pressure available. In open center
systems, the standby pressure equals the pressure drop P–>T, see the diagram above. A pump flow of 150
l/min led to tank across the pressure adjusting spool, will generate a standby pressure of app. 15 bar (PVP
with 12 bar spring). The according main spool flow ratings will correspond to the curves.
For PVPs with a 20 bar spring, the standby pressure available will be 20 bar or higher. Hence the
according main spool flow ratings will correspond.
Closed center flow rating

The flow rating of a the different main spools, PVBS, is dependent upon the Load Sense margin (pump
margin pressure). The nominal flows specified for each PVBS is specified at 15 bar [218 psi] Ls margin
pressure. If Ls margin is increased above 15 bar [218 psi], the PVBS will deliver more flow then the
nominal rating. The following curves show the relationship between Ls margin and work port flow.

C Caution
Because of flow forces, cylinder differential areas, Danfoss recommends Ls margins under 25 bar [360 psi].
As noted above, work port flow is dependent upon the Ls margin set on the pump. PC pumps maintain a
constant discharge pressure which is equal to the PC setting on the pump. Hence the Ls margin for PC
pumps can be thought of as the difference between the PC setting and the load pressure. Therefore work
port flow will change with load pressure, thus, pressure compensated flow will not be obtained.

Oil
The main duty of the oil in a hydraulic system is to transfer energy; but it must also lubricate the moving
parts in hydraulic components, protect them against corrosion, and transport dirt particles and heat out
of the system. It is therefore important to choose the correct oil with the correct additives. This gives
normal operation and long working life.
Mineral oil
For systems with PVG 100 valves Danfoss recommends the use of mineral-based hydraulic oil containing
additives: Type HLP (DIN 51524) or HM (ISO 6743/4).
Non-flammable fluids
Phosphate-esters (HFDR fluids) can be used without special precautions. However, dynamic seals must be
replaced with FPM (Viton) seals. Please contact the Danfoss Sales Organization, if the PVG 100 valve is to
be used with phosphate-esters.
The following fluids should only be used according to agreement with the Sales Organization for
Danfoss:
• Water-glycol mixtures (HFC fluids)
• Water-oil emulsions (HFB fluids)
• Oil-water emulsions (HFAE fluids)
Biodegradable oils
PVG 100 valves can be used in systems with rapeseed oil.
The use of rapeseed oil is conditioned by:
• complying with the demands on viscosity, water content, temperature and filtering etc. (see chapters
below and technical data page 7).
• adapting the operating conditions to the directions of the oil supplier.
Before using other biodegradable fluids, please consult the Danfoss Organization.
Particle content, degree of contamination

Oil filtration must prevent particle content from exceeding an acceptable level, i.e. an acceptable degree
of contamination.
Maximum contamination for PVG 100 is 23/19/16 (see ISO 4406. Calibration in accordance with the
ACFTD method).
In our experience a degree of contamination of 23/19/16 can be maintained by using a filter fineness as
described in the next section.
Filtration
Effective filtration is the most important precondition in ensuring that a hydraulic system performs
reliably and has a long working life. Filter manufacturers issue instructions and recommendations. It is
advisable to follow them.
System filters
Where demands on safety and reliability are very high a pressure filter with bypass and indicator is
recommended. Experience shows that a 10 µm nominal filter (or finer), or a 20 µm absolute filter (or finer)
is suitable. It is our experience that a return filter is adequate in a purely mechanically operated valve
system.

The fineness of a pressure filter must be selected as described by the filter manufacturer so that a particle
level of 23/19/16 is not exceeded.
The filter must be fitted with pressure gauge or dirt indicator to make it possible to check the condition of
the filter.
In systems with differential cylinders or accumulators the return filter must be sized to suit the max.
return oil flow. Pressure filters must be fitted to suit max. pump oil flow.
Internal filters
The filters built into PVG 100 are not intended to filter the system but to protect important components
against large particles. Such particles can appear in the system as a result of pump damage, hose fracture,
use of quick-couplings, filter damage, starting up, contamination, etc.
The filter in the electrical actuator PVE protecting the solenoid valves has a mesh of 150 µm.
Bursting pressure drop for internal filters is 25 bar [360 psi].

Standard Mounted Work Section
Standard mounting is defined as installing the PVM on the “A” port side of the PVB. Because of this, the
PVE or PV cover (PVH, PVMD, PVMR, PVMF or PVHC) would be on the “B” port side of the valve.
Option mounting – the PVM on the “B” port side of the PVB
B A

Option mounting is defined as installing the PVM on the “B” port side of the PVB. Because of this, the PVE
or PV cover (PVH, PVMD, PVMR, PVMF or PVHC) would be on the “A” port side of the valve.
The PVBS in PVG 100 are not symmetric. Because of this the “Load Sense” (Ls) holes in the PVBS main
spool must be installed so that they are on the “B” port side of the PVB.

Before determining spool part numbers, determine whether the section will be standard or option

Order specification
The PVG100 Inlet LS relief valve (1) is specifically designed to ensure a constant margin pressure across
the main spool, providing demanded regulated flow during maximum load pressure conditions. This
relief adjustment is critical when there are two or more functions being operated together. An incorrectly
adjusted Inlet relief could result in a vast reduction in regulated flow from the adjacent functions that
operate at a lower load pressure. To accurately adjust the inlet LS relief, the pump standby pressure must
be known in addition to the maximum operating load pressure.
Example
Pressure comp pressure level 172 bar [2500 psi]
LS standby pressure requirement that delivers the desired flow -20 bar [-290 psi]
Maximum load pressure requirement 152 bar [2210 psi]
Inlet relief pressure setting 152 bar [2210 psi]

The PVG 100 valve group is assembled the way the module selection chart shows if the code number for
PVM is written in field a, and the code number for PVMD, PVE or PVH in field c.

Order specification
The valve group is assembled so that the mechanical actuator is mounted on the opposite end of the
basic module, if the code number for PVM is written in field c of the order form and the code numbers for
PVMD, PVE or PVH in field a.
Reordering
The space at the top right-hand corner of the form is for Danfoss to fill in.
The code number for the whole of the specified valve group (PVG No.) is entered here.
