The Sun Hydraulics RVGBKDV (RVGBKDV) is a versatile three-port normally closed modulating element with relief, designed to offer dual functionality when paired with an external orifice. This component acts as a bypass compensator, efficiently controlling priority flow into a circuit as specified by the external orifice, while any excess input flow is diverted to tank port 2. In scenarios where the pressure at inlet port 1 escalates to the valve's preset level, it functions as a conventional relief valve. The compensating pressure across all ranges is set at 120 psi (8 bar). The performance curve illustrates system pressure on the X-axis and the pressure differential created by the valve across the control orifice on the Y-axis. These curves highlight various bypass flows, where capacity and performance are determined by bypass flow rather than control flow. The RVGBKDV model features a T-17A cavity type and Series 3 capacity, supporting up to 40 gpm (160 L/min). It can withstand a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and exhibits a typical response time of 10 ms. Maximum valve leakage at 110 SUS (24 cSt) is limited to 4 in\u00b3/min (65 cc/min). Users can adjust settings with up to 5.5 clockwise turns, utilizing an internal hex size of 5/32 inches (4 mm) for adjustments and a locknut hex size of 9/16 inches (15 mm). Installation requires torque between 150-160 lbf ft (203-217 Nm), while locknut torque should be maintained between 80-90 lbf in. (9-10 Nm). The model weighs approximately 1.60 lb (0.70 kg) and employs Viton seal kits for effective sealing solutions.
