The accumulator sense, pump unload pilot valve is used to sense pressure in an accumulator at port 2 of the valve and when the pressure at port 2 reaches the valve setting, port 3 connects to port 4 to vent a relief valve and unload the pump. This valve has a 15% ratio between unload setting and reset; when pressure at port 2 falls below 85% of the valve setting, port 3 is blocked from port 4 and the pump will come back online to recharge the accumulator.
The integral free-flow check valve is suitable for pump flows up to 15 gpm (60 L/min). For higher capacity pumps, another version of accumulator sense, pump unload cartridge, QPAA, which requires a separate check cartridge is available.
