- 24. 24 Types of flowcontrol • Throttle valves • Flow depends on pressure drop across valve • Pressure Compensated Flow Control Valves • Maintains a constant flow, independent of pressure drop • Temperature compensation
- 25. 25 2 way Flowcontrol valve
- 26. 26 Video 6:Bernoulli’s Law& Cavitation (2:10) • Laminar flow if velocity is low • Higher flow velocity > lower pressure (Bernoulli’s law) • Pressure can drop so low it creates bubbles: This can cause Cavitation or even spontaneous combustion> premature aging of the oil • Proper dimensioning can alleviate these effects
- 27. 27 A pressure drop(across an orifice)only exists if there is flow: No flow-> No Pressure drop
- 28. 28 If there isflow, there will be a pressure drop across the orifice

However the pressure is much higher here
