PROPORTIONAL VALVES--REQUIREMENTS AND DEMANDS

Proportional valves is a comprehensive term. We shall here exclusively deal with the load independent proportional directional valves, applicable on mobile, maritime and stationary equipment. Proportional directional valves are used when it is required to improve a given machine or system in relation to one or more of the following eight items: (1) Increased Operator Comfort; (2) Improved Productivity; (3) Greater Safety; (4) Reduced Energy Consumption; (5) Higher Flexibility; (6) Lower System Price; (7) Better Control Properties; and (8) Higher Degree of Automation. The very great and obvious advantage by using the aforementioned valves will be the possibility of remote control of the manoeuvering, e.g. electrically. The paper will discuss the above mentioned items in detail.
