FLOW CONTROL VALVE
As the discharge rate of the P/S pump increases in proportion to the
pump revolution speed, a flow control valve is added to control it so
that the optimum amount of fluid for steering operation is supplied
according to the engine speed (driving condition).
Described below is its operation at different engine speed.
