Abstract

True flow or velocity valve-controlled systems can only be realized by one of three methods:

  1. (1)

    Pressure-compensated proportional control valve.

  2. (2)

    Closed loop system with feedback from actuator.

  3. (3)

    Closed loop flow feedback system.

The major disadvantages of method (1) are the rather limited degree of load and temperature compensation, 5% being a fairly typical figure, interaction between services supplied from a common power source, and the difficulty of operating overrunning loads under controlled conditions.
