CHAPTER 5. HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION
HIGH PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
A direct type both-direction relief valve is installed across the main passages A and B. The valve con-
trols the pressure in both passages.
When the pressure in the passage A is higher, surface “a” of the poppet receives pressure which pushes
the poppet overcoming the force of the spring and opens the valve: to the left as shown in the figure.
When the valve (part c) opens, the fluid in the passage A flows to the passage B.
When the pressure in the passage B is higher, surface “b” of the poppet receives pressure which pushes
the poppet overcoming the force of the spring and opens the valve: to the right as shown in the figure.
When the valve (part c) opens, the fluid in the passage B flows to the passage A.
