Function, section: type 2FRM 6 B…

General:
The flow control valve type 2 FRM is a 2-way flow control valve.
It is used for maintaining a contant flow, independent of pressure 2
and temperature.
The valve basically comprises of housing (1), rotary knob (2), orifice (3),
pressure compensator (4) and an optional check valve.
Flow control valve type 2FRM 6 B..-3X/..MV 1
(without external closing, without check valve)
Flow from port A to B is throttled at throttle position (5). The throttle
cross-section is varied by turning rotary knob (2).
In order to keep the flow constant, independent of pressure, a pressure 3
compensator (4) is fitted in port B downstream of the throttle position
(5).
The compression spring (6) presses orifice (3) and pressure
compensator (4) outwards against their respective stops and thus
5
keeps pressure compensator (4) in the open position when there is
no flow through the valve. When fluid flows through the valve, the
6
pressure acting in port A applies a force to pressure compensator (4)
via orifice (7).
The pressure compensator (4) moves into the compensating position
until the forces balance. If the pressure in port A rises, pressure 4
compensator (4) moves in the closing direction, until a balance of
forces is once more attained. Due to this continuous compensating 7
action of the pressure compensator, a constant flow is obtained.
In order to control a flow through the valve in both directions, a
rectifier sandwich plate type Z4S 6 may be fitted below this flow A B
control valve. Type 2FRM 6 B76-3X/.MV

Flow control valve type 2FRM 6 SB..-3X/..RV

(without external closing, with check valve, for panel mounting) 2
Flow from port A to B is throttled at throttle position (5). The throttle
cross-section is varied by turning rotary knob (2).
In order to keep the flow constant, independent of pressure, a pressure
compensator (4) is fitted in port B downstream of throttle the position
1 8
(5).
The compression spring (6) presses orifice (3) and pressure
compensator (4) outwards against their respective stops and thus
keeps pressure compensator (4) in the open position when there is
no flow through the valve. When fluid flows through the valve, the 3
pressure acting in port A applies a force to pressure compensator (4)
via orifice (7).
The pressure compensator (4) moves into the compensating position 5
until the forces balance. If the pressure in port A rises, pressure
compensator (4) moves in theclosing direction, until a balance of
forces is once more attained. Due to this continuous compensating 6
action of the pressure compensator, a constant flow is obtained.
Free-flow from port B to A is via the check valve (8). 4

Function, section, circuit example: type 2FRM 6 A…

Flow control valve type 2FRM 6 A..-3X/..RV
(with external closing, with check valve)
The function of this valve is basically the same as that of valve type 2
2FRM 6 B..-3X/..MV.
However, this type of flow control valve is provided with an external
port permitting the pressure compensator (4) to be pressurised via
port P (9). The external pressure acting in port P (9) via orifice (10)
holds pressure compensator (4) closed against the force of 1 8
compression spring (6). When the connected directional valve (11) is
actuated to permit flow from P to B, control is achieved as with type
2 FRM 6 B. Thus a jump on start-up is avoided.
This version with external closing of the compensator 3
may only be used for meter-in control.
Free return flow from port B to A is via check valve (8).

Attention!
The pressure loss from P at the inlet of the directional valve to A at the inlet of the flow control valve is noticeable at low flows.
