ABSTRACT:
A balance valve for maintaining two fluid pressure systems at a predetermined pressure relative to one another. The valve comprises a piston slidably received within a bore and subjected on opposite ends to the pressure in the two systems. Each of the two systems is provided with a relief line whose communication with the associated system is controlled by movement of the piston such that any imbalance of forces acting on the piston causes the appropriate relief line to be opened to balance out the forces. The ports controlled by the piston and communicating with the relief lines are triangular in shape. In one embodiment a respective spring acts on each end of the piston to determine the relative pressure levels in the two systems. In another embodiment means is provided to resist movement of the piston in response to rapid pressure fluctuations.
