  19. Design and Operation of Basic Flow-Related Circuits • The bleed-off flow control design places the flow control valve in a tee in the working line between the directional control valve and the actuator inlet • Outlet of the flow control is directly connected to the reservoir • Measured flow is diverted to the reservoir while remaining flow operates the actuator • The prime mover operates against a pressure only high enough to move the load Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only.

  22. Design and Operation of Basic Flow-Related Circuits • The bleed-off flow control circuit is less accurate than either the meter-in or meter-out system • Flow is metered back to the reservoir while the remaining pump output establishes actuator speed • The remaining flow can vary because of pump efficiency and system leakage • Flow control valve metering accuracy under varying load conditions is also a factor Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only.

  23. Design and Operation of Basic Flow-Related Circuits • The bleed-off circuit is the most energy-efficient design • This is due to the fact the prime mover operates at a pressure only high enough to move the load Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only.
