1) Working Principle of Hydraulic Valves:

Hydraulic valves consist of a spool, a valve body, and a mechanism that drives the spool to move within the valve body. They are essential control components in hydraulic systems, regulating fluid pressure, flow, and direction to ensure actuators perform as required. The basic principle involves the spool's relative movement to open or close valve ports and control their size, which governs the pressure, flow, and direction of fluid according to the pressure-flow equation.


2) Classification of Hydraulic Valves:

1. Pressure Control Valves: These include relief valves, pressure-reducing valves, and sequence valves. Relief valves maintain a constant pressure in hydraulic systems and act as safety valves. Pressure-reducing valves ensure stable lower pressure in branch circuits. Sequence valves enable components like cylinders to operate in a defined order.

2. Flow Control Valves: By adjusting the throttling area between the spool and valve body, these valves control the flow rate and, consequently, the speed of actuators. They include throttle valves, speed control valves, flow dividers, and flow combiners.

3. Directional Control Valves: These include check valves and directional valves. Check valves permit unidirectional flow, while directional valves regulate flow paths between ports, determining the movement of actuators.


3) Features of Hydraulic Valves:

1. Sensitive and reliable operation with minimal noise and vibration.

2. Low resistance loss during fluid flow.

3. Excellent sealing to minimize leakage.

4. Compact, durable design with broad applicability.


4) Functions of Hydraulic Valves:

Hydraulic valves control fluid direction, pressure, or flow within a system. Despite their varied forms and mechanisms, they share common principles. Directional valves switch fluid paths, while pressure and flow valves adjust system pressure and flow rates through throttling effects.
