TYPICAL HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS

Carrier without Auxiliary Circuit

If the carrier does not have an auxiliary control valve (see Figure 2), a priority flow control valve must be installed to direct oil flow from the normal circuit to the compactor. The priority flow control valve is usually equipped with a flow adjustment and pressure relief.

These auxiliary control valves often need a check valve on the regulated port to completely close the flow. If too much flow is divided, excess heat is generated in which case the oil needs to be cooled.
