The Sun Hydraulics FRDCOAN (Material Number: FRDCOAN) is a specialized hydraulic flow control valve designed to regulate flow in the bypass mode only. This valve is a modification of the standard FRDA model, aimed at enhancing system stability under specific conditions. Notably, if the bypass pressure surpasses that at the priority port, the priority flow will cease to be pressure compensated, which is a key feature for certain applications. Users must specify a desired flow rating, with factory settings offering a precision within 10% of this requirement. The valve can handle maximum pressures up to 3000 psi (210 bar) at port 3 and supports a maximum input flow of 30 gpm (120 L/min). It allows for bypass flow only after fulfilling priority flow demands. The design incorporates a sharp-edged orifice to minimize variations caused by changes in fluid viscosity. Additionally, an optional tunable adjustment control provides up to 25% variation from the nominal preset flow through three turns of an adjustment screw. This feature is particularly useful for applications requiring precise flow adjustments. The valve utilizes Sun's floating style construction, reducing the risk of internal binding due to excessive installation torque or machining variations in the cavity or cartridge. The FRDCOAN fits into cavity T-2A and belongs to Series 2 with a capacity of 12 gpm (45 L/min). Its compact design features a valve hex size of 1-1/8 inches (28.6 mm) and requires an installation torque between 45 and 50 lbf-ft (61-68 Nm). An internal hex size of 5/32 inches (4 mm) is used for adjustment screws, while the locknut has a hex size of 9/16 inches (15 mm) with a torque range of 80-90 lbf-in (9-10 Nm). The model weighs approximately .40 lb (.20 kg), and Viton seal kits are available for maintenance purposes.

Description

This valve is a modification of an FRDA. It controls flow in the bypass mode only. If the bypass pressure exceeds the pressure at the priority port the priority flow will no longer be pressure compensated. This modification was done in an attempt to improve system stability in specific cases.

Customer must specify a flow rating. Factory set flow ratings are within +/- 10% of the requested setting.
Maximum pressure at port 3 should be limited to 3000 psi (210 bar).
Bypass flow is not available until priority flow requirements are satisfied.
The sharp-edged orifice design minimizes flow variations due to viscosity changes.
A tuneable adjustment control option provides up to +/- 25% variation from the nominal factory pre-set flow. Adjustment is done with +/- 3 turns of the adjust screw. Screw in (CW) to increase flow.
Incorporates the Sun floating style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations.

Show FAQ

What happens if I block the bypass port on a priority flow control?	The valve acts as a 2 port restrictive flow control.
How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
How accurate are Sun's flow controls?	We claim +/- 10%. We set to +/- 5% in production testing to allow for differences in customers' conditions. If you want accuracy, stay in the bottom 2/3rds of the range. Our 12 gpm (45 L/min.) flow controls are quite flat at 9 gpm (34 L/min.) and dead flat below 6 gpm (23 L/min.), until you get to the bottom of the range. Below about .25 gpm (1 L/min.), spool leakage and orifice conditions start to limit accuracy.
I have a heat problem, will Sun's priority flow control help?	I am afraid not. Unless you are overflowing your current valve and correctly size ours, you are not likely to notice any improvement. Priority flow controls are not efficient devices. They are an easy way to get more than 1 source of oil from 1 pump but they can generate a lot of heat. Try to size your actuators so the pressures are similar on both the priority and the bypass circuits. If you can't do that, try to have the lower flow leg be the lower pressure. The pump pressure is determined by whichever leg is higher and if there is flow that is taking a pressure drop that is not doing work it is creating heat.
What happens if I block the control flow (priority) port?	All flow is blocked, hence the term priority. The priority flow has to be satisfied.
What is the compensating pressure of Sun's flow controls?	The spring force in our flow controls equates to about 100 psi (7 bar). This is high enough to give the valves acceptable capacity (not really) and not too high for proper circuit operation. 100 psi (7 bar) is the spring force; at the upper end of the flow control's range, the drop through the valve will be as high as 250 psi (17 bar) before it starts modulating.
What is the pressure drop through a flow control?	In a meter-in flow control circuit if the pump is set at 3000 psi and the load is 2000 psi the drop through the flow control is 1000 psi. In a meter-out circuit with the load at 2000 psi the drop through the flow control is 2000 psi.
