Impact of Flow Force to the Constant Flow Characteristic of Load Sensing Pump Available to Purchase

Aiming at studying the impact of steady-state flow force to YL-56 load sensing pump and how to reduce the effects of flow force on control valve spool, the factors of steady-state flow force were analyzed using CFD software FLUENT, and virtual prototype of load sensing pump was developed to study its characteristics. Compared with the effect of using position-controlled proportional solenoid to drive the throttle valve in simulation, the use of force-controlled proportional solenoid could suppress the impact of steady-state flow force much better, and the problem that the output flow increased when load pressure rose was solved. The experiment test results indicate that using force-controlled proportional solenoid in throttle valve can decrease the impact of steady-state flow force quite well.
