The Sun Hydraulics QPACKCV (Material Number: QPACKCV) is an advanced accumulator sense, pump unload pilot valve designed to optimize hydraulic system efficiency by controlling the pressure in an accumulator. When the pressure at port 1 reaches the predefined valve setting, this valve connects port 2 to port 3, allowing a relief valve to vent and unloading the pump. It features a 30:1 ratio between unload setting and reset, ensuring that when pressure falls below 70% of the valve setting, port 2 is blocked from port 3, bringing the pump back online to recharge the accumulator. This model requires a separate check valve between port 1 and the pump for optimal functionality. The spool design maintains a consistent differential ratio, minimizing wear over time, while minimum clearances between spool and sleeve reduce silting risk. A separate drain line is necessary to prevent erratic operation due to tank line pressure fluctuations. The QPACKCV is constructed using Sun's floating style construction to minimize internal binding risks from excessive installation torque or machining variations. It operates within a maximum pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and has a pilot flow capacity of 0.75 L/min (46 in\u00b3/min). The adjustment mechanism allows for precise control with up to five clockwise turns needed to increase settings, supported by specific torque requirements for secure installation and adjustment locking. This model weighs approximately 0.35 lb (0.15 kg) and uses Viton seals, with additional resources available for system design considerations related to accumulator sense and pump unload applications.

The accumulator sense, pump unload pilot valve is used to sense pressure in an accumulator at port 1 of the valve and when the pressure at port 1 reaches the valve setting, port 2 connects to port 3 to vent a relief valve and unload the pump. This valve has a 30% ratio between unload setting and reset; when pressure at port 1 falls below 70% of the valve setting, port 2 is blocked from port 3 and the pump will come back online to recharge the accumulator. This valve requires a separate check valve between port 1 and the pump. Another version of the accumulator sense, pump unload valve, QCDC, includes a free-flow check valve for pump flows under 12 gpm (50 L/min).
- The pressure differential between unload and reset will be within +/- 1% of the stated ratio of the valve with up to an additional 25 psi (1,7 bar) due to dynamic seal friction.
- The accumulator sensing area is positively sealed.
- The spool design of this valve allows it to maintain a fixed differential ratio because the areas are created by diameters on the spool that will not wear or change with use.
- Minimum clearances between the spool and sleeve and a seal on the pilot piston diameter significantly reduce the potential for silting.
- When applying this cartridge, a separate drain line is required to prevent erratic operation caused by tank line pressure fluctuations.
- NOTE: Careful consideration should be given when selecting an adjustment range. System pressure drops and flows tend to affect the operation of unloading valves. Low operating pressures combined with low differentials result in a very narrow band between unload and reset, requiring precise system design. High flow rates typically mean high pressure drops, which subtract from the differential the valve has to work with.
- Sun has designed a variety of standard accumulator/pump unload assemblies with a variety of features. These assemblies can be found on our website under SOLUTIONS: ACCUMLATOR SENSE, PUMP UNLOAD.
- Incorporates the Sun floating style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations.
