The Automat 3 Way Pilot Operated Pressure Reducing Valve is designed for precise and reliable pressure control in hydraulic and irrigation systems. This spring-loaded valve features a pilot-operated spool design, allowing effective pressure reduction from an inlet port to an output port while limiting excess pressure with a relief function. It operates with high stability and low hysteresis over a wide flow range, ensuring consistent downstream pressure regardless of fluctuating inlet pressures. The valve supports a high maximum operating pressure up to 3600 PSI (250 bar) and is equipped with various adjustment options including hand knob or lockable rotary knob with scale for easy pressure setting. Ideal for complex hydraulic circuits, this valve safeguards components and optimizes system performance. The Valve maintains a pre-set downstream pressure regardless of upstream pressure or flow fluctuations, controlled by a 3-way pilot valve. The spring loaded membrane of the pilot is sensitive to downstream pressure and maintains desired downstream pressure by gradually opening and closing the hydraulic valve. When no flow exists in the system, the valve closes itself automatically.
Features
:- Curved bridge delivers lower opening pressure, high flow capacity, minimum pressure loss, no vibration and distortion and rapid response.
- Innovative water passage offers one of the highest flow coefficient amongst the similar products available.
- Polymeric valve with great durability and corrosion resistance.
- Reinforced diaphragm offers smooth operation, tight shut-off and no distortion.
Applications
:- Hydraulic pressure control circuits
- Irrigation system pressure management
- Industrial fluid pressure regulation
- Protects hydraulic actuators and pipelines
- Reduces pump energy consumption
- Ensures system safety and performance
Usage
:- The valve can be installed both horizontally or vertically.
- Ensure enough space nearby for installation and adjustment.
- Flush pipeline before installing the valve, to ensure clean water ow.
- Line low direction should match arrow marking on valve.
- Inspect the valve post installation for any loose or damaged fittings.
- Install a pressure gauge at downstream or use pressure check point on valve to set the desired pressure.
- For maintenance, installation of isolation valves at upstream and downstream is recommended.
