Pressure compensator
The pressure compensator , also differential pressure valve or pressure difference valve (engl. Pressure compensator ) is in said hydraulic a pressure valve having a differential pressure can regulate between an externally supplied test point and an adjacent pressure at the valve. The pressure compensator is usually used in conjunction with a measuring throttle , the measuring throttle being placed between the external pressure tap and the pressure compensator. This means that the volume flow remains constant even when the load changes. The combination of pressure compensator and measuring throttle results in a flow control valve . A pressure compensator can also be used in combination with a proportional or control valve . The proportional valve takes over the function of the measuring throttle. This means that the volume flow can be controlled independently of the load. Pressure compensators are also used in load sensing systems.
