ABSTRACT:
A flow amplifying poppet valve has a main poppet for controlling fluid flow from an inlet port to an outlet port of a main fluid passage. The position of the main poppet is controlled by controlling the pressure in a first control chamber adjacent the main poppet with a second stage poppet of a two-stage pilot valve disposed within a pilot passage communicating the first control chamber with the outlet port. The position of the second stage poppet is controlled by controlling the pressure in a second control chamber adjacent the second stage poppet with a pilot stage poppet that has a frusto-conical section urged into sealing engagement with the second stage poppet by a spring. A device selectively exerts a control force to move the first stage poppet in a valve opening direction to establish a variable flow control orifice between the frusto-conical section and the second stage poppet. This lowers the pressure in the second control chamber allowing the second stage poppet to follow the pilot stage poppet until movement of the pilot stage poppet stops.
