The Sun Hydraulics PRDRLWN (PRDRLWN) is a direct-acting pressure reducing valve designed to maintain a consistent reduced pressure at port 1 from a higher primary pressure at inlet port 2. This model features a damped construction for stable operation, allowing it to handle high reduced pressures effectively. It is important to note that this valve has no relieving capability and should not be used in deadheaded applications, as the pressure may rise significantly if the reduced pressure side of the circuit has very low leakage. The PRR type valve serves as an ideal replacement for an LPC when a normally open, restrictive compensating element is needed, especially when higher pressure drops across an orifice are required. Cartridges with EPDM seals are compatible with phosphate ester fluids but are susceptible to damage from petroleum-based substances. The valve's design can accommodate full reverse flow from port 1 to port 2 without causing the main spool to close; however, incorporating a separate check valve is advisable if reverse free flow is necessary in the circuit. All spring ranges are tested for optimal performance with up to 5000 psi (350 bar) inlet pressure, making it suitable for accumulator circuits due to its lack of pilot control flow and resultant reduced secondary circuit leakage. This direct-operated version offers superior dynamic response compared to equivalent pilot-operated models. Additionally, the valve setting at port 3 is directly additive at a 1:1 ratio and should not exceed 5000 psi (350 bar). The Sun floating style construction minimizes potential internal binding issues due to excessive installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations.

Description

Direct-acting, pressure reducing valves reduce a high primary pressure at the inlet (port 2) to a constant reduced pressure at port 1. These valves incorporate a damped construction for stable operation allowing the use of high reduced pressure.

Note: This valve has no relieving capability. It should not be used in a dead-headed application. If the reduced pressure side of the circuit has very low leakage the pressure may rise significantly. The pressure rise will vary from valve to valve.
This type of valve, PR*R, is a good replacement for an LP*C as a normally open, restrictive compensating element if a higher pressure drop across an orifice is needed.
Cartridges configured with EPDM seals are for use in systems with phosphate ester fluids. Exposure to petroleum based fluids, greases and lubricants will damage the seals.
Full reverse flow from reduced pressure (port 1) to inlet (port 2) may cause the main spool to close. If reverse free flow is required in the circuit, consider adding a separate check valve to the circuit.
All spring ranges are tested for correct operation with 5000 psi (350 bar) inlet pressure.
Suitable for accumulator circuits since the absence of pilot control flow results in reduced secondary circuit leakage.
Direct operated version offers superior dynamic response compared to equivalent pilot operated models.
Pressure at port 3 is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio and should not exceed 5000 psi (350 bar).
Leakage specified in Technical Data is out of port 3 with a supply pressure of 2000 psi (140 bar) and the valve set at mid range. This leakage is directly proportional to pressure differential and inversely proportional to viscosity expressed in centistokes.
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

How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
What are the tolerances on pressure settings for Sun's pressure control valves?	Pressure setting tolerances are listed in our Performance Data page. A link to this page can also be found in the Additional Resources tab of the applicable product page.
Can I back flow through a reducing valve from port 1 to port 2?	Yes. A reducing or reducing/relieving valve is normally open. If the pressure in the secondary circuit is less than the setting, it will be open.2 caveats: (1) If the valve is in the reducing mode and you suddenly reverse the flow, the valve will not have time to open and will shift into relieving mode or (2) If the back flow generates a pressure drop through the valve that exceeds the setting, the valve will shift into the relieving mode.When in doubt, use a reverse flow check.
I need a reducer on B. Can I connect the drain to A?	Yes. If you look in the sandwich section you will see that we offer many such packages. When you are pressurizing B, A is connected to tank, allowing the reducer to do its job. When you reverse, the drain or tank port of the reducer is pressurized by A. This increases the setting of the reducer and helps keep the reducer open in the reverse flow direction.
What do you mean by maximum differential?	Our reducing valves are outside-in valves; the supply pressure on the outside of the working parts is higher than the inside. At some pressure differential, the outside (sleeve) will close in on the piston and cause the valve to stick. A D range is adjustable from 25 to 800 psi with a maximum differential of 2000 psi. This means you could set the valve at 600 psi and expect it to work correctly with a supply pressure of 2600 psi. The valve may work at higher differentials, but we do not recommend it. The W and C ranges are tested over their entire range with an inlet pressure of 5000 psi. All direct-acting valves are tested with an inlet pressure of 5000 psi.
Direct acting or pilot operated - what do I use?	Direct-acting valves are used to prevent over pressure, and pilot-operated valves are used to regulate pressure. If you are unsure, use a direct-acting valve. Sun's direct acting valves are very fast, dirt tolerant, stable, and robust. Sun's pilot-operated valves are moderately fast, they have a low pressure rise vs. flow curve, and they are easy to adjust.
