ABSTRACT:
The metering valve includes a housing assembly defining a metering cavity therein. At least one inlet port supplies fluid to be metered to the cavity, and at least one output port outputs metered fluid from the cavity. A valve seat in the cavity is disposed between the input and output ports, a pilot chamber and a pilot port to the pilot chamber. A control element in the pilot chamber is displaceable in proportion to the pressure of pilot fluid input to the pilot port. A valve spool is mounted for reciprocating movement in the metering cavity, and the spool is coupled to the control element and displaceable therewith. The spool has a metering flange for operative engagement with the valve seat in the cavity. The position of the metering flange with respect to the valve seat controls variable flow rates of fluid between the input port and output port of the valve housing assembly. A thermal relief valve is disposed within the spool and movable therewith, and the thermal relief valve vents fluid in the cavity through the input port when the pressure of fluid in the cavity exceeds a predetermined limit.
