Pressure valve type DB is a pilot-operated pressure relief valve. It is used for limiting the operating pressure.
The pressure relief valves (DB) basically consist of the main valve (1) with main spool insert (3) and pilot control valve (2) with pressure adjustment element.
The pressure applied to channel P acts on the main spool (3). At the same time, pressure is applied to the spring-loaded side of the main spool (3) and to the ball (8) in the pilot control valve (2) via the control lines (6) and (7) which are equipped with nozzles (4) and (5). If the pressure in channel P exceeds the value set at the spring (9), the ball (8) opens against the spring (9). The corresponding signal comes internally, via the control lines (10) and (6) from channel P. The hydraulic fluid on the spring-loaded side of main spool (3) now flows via the control line (7), nozzle bore (11) and ball (8) into the spring chamber (12). From here, it is fed into the tank, either internally for type DB …– via control line (13), or externally for type DB…Y via control line (14). Nozzles (4) and (5) cause a pressure drop to occur at the main spool (3), hence the connection from channel P to channel T opens. Now, the hydraulic fluid flows from channel P to channel T maintaining the set operating pressure.
The pressure relief valve can be unloaded or switched to another pressure (second pressure rating) via port X (15).

Counter pressure in the discharge line
Basically, the valve should be operated without counter pressure in the discharge line, if possible. With counter pressure in the discharge line, the maximum flow possible is reduced. There is a relation between the maximum counter pressure pT in the discharge line and flow qV, which can be seen from the following characteristic curves. Characteristic curves for intermediate values of the response pressure which are not listed must be determined by means of interpolation.
With a flow approaching zero, the maximum counter pressure pT is in each case 10 % of the response pressure. With increasing flow, the maximum counter pressure pT is reduced.
Interpolation of intermediate values from the diagram
At the pT axis, mark 1/10 of the value of pA. Determine the next lower and the next higher characteristic curve for this point. The point marked at pT divides the section between lower and higher characteristic curve on the pT axis with a certain percentage. At the qVmax axis, divide the section between next lower and next higher characteristic curve in the same percentage as the section at the pT axis. From the zerocrossing on the qVmax axis determined in that way, draw a straight line to the value on the pT axis marked before. Mark the system flow to be secured at the qVmax axis. Read off the maximum counter pressure for this value using the line at the pT axis drawn before.
Determination of the maximum counter pressure
Example 1 (with already existing characteristic curve):
Flow of the system / accumulator to be secured:qVmax = [si]300 l/min[/si][imp]79.3 USgpm[/imp Safety valve set to: pA = [si]80 bar[/si][imp]1150 psi[/imp]. Read off the maximum counter pressure pT of approx. [si]12 bar[/si][imp]175 psi[/imp] from the diagram (see arrows, dashed line " ").
Example 2 (with interpolated characteristic curve):
Flow of the system / accumulator to be secured: qVmax = [si]300 l/min[/si][imp]79.3 USgpm[/imp Safety valve set to: pA = [si]80 bar[/si][imp]1150 psi[/imp] Value to be marked at the axis referred to as pT: 1/10 x [si]80 bar[/si][imp]1150 psi[/imp] = [si]8 bar[/si][imp]115 psi[/imp]. Read off the maximum counter pressure pT of approx. [si]1 bar[/si][imp]15 psi[/imp] from the diagram (see arrows, dashed/dotted line " ").

Safety instructions: Type-examination tested safety valves type DB…E
(Component series 5X according to Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU)
Before ordering a type-examination tested safety valve, it must be observed that for the desired response overpressure p, the maximum admissible flow qV max of the safety valve must be larger than the maximum possible flow of the system. According to Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU , the increase of the system pressure by the flow must not be higher than 10 % of the set response pressure (see component marking). Discharge lines (ports T and Y) of safety valves must end in a risk-free manner. The accumulation of fluids in the discharge lines must not be possible (AD 2000 data sheet A 2). If a lead seal at the safety valve is removed, the approval according to the PED! Basically, the requirements of the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU and of data sheet AD 2000 A 2 have to be observed.
It is imperative to observe the application notes!
In the plant, the response pressure specified in the component marking is set at a flow of 2 l/min.
The maximum admissible flow stated in the component marking (= numerical value instead of the character "G" in the component marking, see ordering code, type-examination tested safety valves) must not be exceeded.
It applies to:
Pilot oil return “external” (= Y in the ordering key) without counter pressure in the discharge line Y, admissible counter pressure in the discharge line (port T) < 15 bar Pilot oil return “internal” (= no code in the ordering key). The maximum admissible flow is only admissible without counter pressure in the discharge line (port T).With internal pilot oil return, the system pressure increases by the counter pressure in the discharge line (port T) with increasing flow (observe AD2000 - data sheet A2 - item 6.3!).
To ensure that this increase in system pressure caused by the flow does not exceed the value of 10% of the set response pressure, the admissible flow has to be reduced dependent on the counter pressure in the discharge line (port T) (see diagrams (Safety instructions, Type-examination tested safety valves)).
It is imperative to observe the application notes!
In the plant, the response pressure specified in the component marking is set with a flow of 11 l/min. The maximum admissible flow stated in the component marking (= numerical value instead of the character "G" in the component marking, see ordering code, type-examination tested safety valves) must not be exceeded.It applies to: Pilot oil return external ("Y") without counter pressure in the discharge line Y; admissible counter pressure in the discharge line (port T) < 15 bar Pilot oil return internal ("no code"). The maximum flow is only admissible without counter pressure in the discharge line (port T).
With internal pilot oil return, the system pressure increases by the counter pressure in the discharge line (port T) due to the increasing flow (observe AD2000 - data sheet; A2, item 6.3!)
To ensure that this increase in system pressure caused by the flow does not exceed 10% of the set response pressure, the admissible flow has to be reduced dependent on the counter pressure in the discharge line (port T) (see diagrams (Safety instructions, Type-examination tested safety valves)).
Notice:
Possible unloading via the directional valve must not be applied for safety-relevant functions! If unloading is required for safety-relevant functions, an additional unloading valve must be installed.
General information
The unloading function (directional valve function with version "DBW") must not be used for safety functions! With version "B", the lowest adjustable pressure (circulation pressure) is set in case of power failure or cable break. With version "A", the pressure limiting function is set in case of power failure or cable break. Hydraulic counter pressures in port T with internal pilot oil return and/or port Y with external pilot oil return add 1:1 to the response pressure of the valve set at the pilot control.Example: Pressure adjustment of the valve by spring preload (item 9 "Product description") in the pilot control valve/adjustment type pspring = 200 bar Hydraulic counter pressure in port T with internal pilot oil return phydraulic = 50 bar => Response pressure = pspring + phydraulic = 250 bar
