The covering of this variable restrictor
D

is the result of the
equilibrium of the pressures
p
1
and
p
2
and of the spring force
F
on the control piston. The influence of viscosity is only slight,
due to the relatively short hydraulic length which arises from
the geometry of the plug-in nozzles
D
1
or
D
1
/
D
2
, respectively.
The flow rate is thus determined only by the differential
pressure
p
1/2
, which is constant. This results in the flow rate
also being constant.
p1*A = p2*A + F (A = cross-sectional area of the control
piston)
Δp = p1/2 = p1 – p2 = F/A = const.
Δp = const.
Q = const. 1)
Prerequisites
To ensure impeccable functioning of the flow limiter,
p
1
must
always be greater than the differential pressure
p
1/2
plus the
back pressure downstream of the flow limiter.

We recommend that a reserve of approximately 15% be
provided for the selection of the oil pump.

Circulating-oil lubrication systems with flow limiters,
which are
equipped with downstream progressive metering devices
are
usually run with a system pressure of 20-25 bar (290-360 psi),
while a system pressure of 16 bar (230 psi) is sufficient for
systems comprised solely of flow limiters.
