Using flow dividers as pressure multipliers

Using flow dividers as pressure multipliers

Flow dividers are primarily used for distributing oil flow across multiple applications. However, they can also be utilized as pressure multipliers in certain cases. Let's explore when this particular solution is advantageous and the benefits it offers.


When should you use a flow divider as a pressure multiplier?

This application is useful if you want to optimize the energy consumption of a system and reduce waste by simply discharging a portion of the oil.

For example, you can utilize the existing low-pressure residual energy in your system without having to create a separate line, resulting in a lower flow rate at a higher pressure. This function proves useful in various sectors, such as:

  • Agriculture and forestry machinery.
  • Industrial and renewable energy applications (for example forklifts, presses, compressors, wind turbines).
  • Earthmoving machinery.
  • Trailer and drive-system motors.


Which flow dividers can be used as pressure multipliers?

Not all flow dividers are suitable for this application.

The most commonly used models are those without valves. However, flow dividers with valves can also be employed, providing the ability to regulate the amplification based on the valve's pressure setting.

In general, it is crucial to ensure that the multiplied pressure remains within the specific model's maximum allowed limit. The majority of Vivoil flow dividers can be used as pressure multipliers, except for the MIA-FD, which is equipped with valves that compensate for pressure differences and do not allow for multiplication.
