The Hydraulic Pump Shuttle Valve also known as a double check valve, is a type of valve used in fluid control systems to control the flow of fluid between two separate lines. It controls the flow of hydraulic fluid from multiple hydraulic pumps to a common output line. It is typically configured with multiple input ports, each connected to one of the hydraulic pumps, and a single output port connected to the main hydraulic line. It contains a shuttle that can move within the valve body. By utilizing Shuttle Valve, hydraulic systems can maintain optimal pressure levels, enhance system performance, and ensure efficient allocation of hydraulic power.
Attributes:
• Configured with multiple input ports and a single output port
• Contains a shuttle within the valve body
• Ensures pump with the highest pressure supplies fluid to the mainline
Applications:
This Hydraulic Pump Shuttle Valve is used in hydraulic systems to direct fluid flow from the pump with the highest pressure output to a common output line, optimizing performance and ensuring efficient allocation of hydraulic power.
