The Sun Hydraulics FRDACAV (Material Number: FRDACAV) is a bypass-restrictive, fixed-orifice, priority flow control valve designed to manage hydraulic fluid flow efficiently. This model takes an input flow at port 1 and prioritizes the flow to port 3, while any excess is redirected to port 2 for potential use in secondary circuits. Users must specify a flow rating, with factory settings ensuring accuracy within 10% of the desired rate. The valve can handle a maximum pressure of 3000 psi at port 3 and supports both priority and bypass flows up to the system's operating pressure. The design ensures that priority remains constant despite input variations, though bypass flow only becomes available once the priority needs are met. The sharp-edged orifice minimizes variations due to viscosity changes. A notable feature of this model is its tunable adjustment control option, allowing for a 25% variation from the nominal preset flow using an adjustment screw. The Sun floating style construction reduces the risk of internal part binding from excessive torque or machining variations. It fits into a T2A cavity with a series capacity of 12 gpm (45 L/min) and can withstand a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). The valve supports an input flow up to 30 gpm (120 L/min), with specific dimensions for installation torque and hex sizes provided for precise setup. Additional specifications include Viton seal kits for cartridge maintenance and detailed guidance on operational scenarios such as blocking ports or managing heat issues in hydraulic systems.
