TIC Liner 3000 with Communicator Individual functions Description of function: The flow divider divides the supplied volume flow (port P) into 2 volume flows (ports A and B). These volume flows remain constant even when the consumer loads change. This makes the velocities of both consumers constant. The oil flows from P via the orifice gauges A and B to the consumer ports A and B. The supplied oil flow must be large enough so that the pressure difference exerts a sufficient force on the individual pistons which is greater than the forces exerted by the control springs.
The higher consumer pressure in A or B pushes the control pistons, which must be considered as one single unit when the force is sufficient, against the control spring located opposite. The associated control bore creates a ram pressure at the control edge until the pressure of the higher-load consumer is reached. Now there is the same pressure in the two control chambers which is higher than the supply pressure P by the control spring amount. Now, the same differential pressure is also available at the orifice gauges, thus making the oil flows constant.
When the flows are opposite (combined flows), the piston halves are loaded with the pressure force and displaced against the central spring. The control process is the same, but in opposite direction. 12/03 Lin-h-Kap2 2-17
