English term

float center valve

English to Polish Tech/Engineering Engineering (general)
explanation
These are the most common spool center options for hydraulic directional control valves in mobile applications for directing fluid in hydraulic system to the machinery.
Closed Center Control Valve
Open Center Control Valve
Tandem Center Control Valve
Float Center Control Valve

A float center valve has an open connection from working ports A and B to the tank. In this configuration, P is blocked, making this a closed center circuit.
//
The float center spool is used in circuits where both work ports are required to be open to tank while in the neutral position. It is used in conjunction with load holding or motion control valves, which themselves necessitate draining of their spring chambers, a function that wouldn't occur with a closed center.

ok, dziękuję za pomoc!
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Jun 10, 2021:
Przypuszczam, że to jest zawór w konfiguracji z jednym portem zamkniętym.
duszyczka (asker) Jun 10, 2021:
tylko że coś nie ma w tym przykładzie float center
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Jun 10, 2021:
zawór czterodrożny sterowany elektromagnetycznie
Here, the valve is controlled by the solenoid.

dziękuję, Frank, za odpowiedź. Jeszcze może dopiszę, co otrzymałam od agencji na prośbę o wyjaśnienie tego float center: electric solenoid valve with a floating middle setting (mit schwimmender Mittelstellung)
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Jun 10, 2021:
Podałem definicję opisową działania takiego zaworu.

zawór czterodrożny z jednym portem zamkniętym

An open center valve connects all four ports when the valve is centered.

A closed center valve blocks all four ports.

A tandem center blocks two ports, and connects two ports. Usually, it is used to block the A and B ports, and connect the pump to tank. This center is very common in applications like the simple press circuit, to allow the pump's flow to go straight to the tank, rather than forcing it over the relief valve.

A float center blocks a single port and connects the other three. It is usually used to block the pump, and connect A and B to tank.
