Technical Information
ECO 80 Directional Control Valve

Technical description

ECO 80 LS with open center EVP (fixed displacement pump)

When the pump is started and the main spools in the individual basic modules (2) are in the neutral
position, oil flows from the pump, through connection P, across the pressure adjustment spool (8) to
tank. The spring in the pressure adjustment spool determines the pump pressure (stand-by pressure) in
neutral.
When one or more of the main spools are actuated, the highest load pressure is fed through the shuttle
valve circuit to the spring chamber behind the pressure adjustment spool (8), and completely or partially
closes the connection to tank. Pump pressure is applied to the left-hand side of the pressure adjustment
spool (8). The pressure relief valve (7) will open should the load pressure exceed the set value, diverting
pump flow back to tank.
With a non pressure-compensated basic module incorporating a load drop check valve (3) in channel P,
the check valve prevents return oil flow. Please see ECO 80 LS sectional view on page 7 for better
understanding of this example.

ECO 80 LS with closed center EVP (variable displacement pump)

In the closed center version the pressure adjustment spool (8) will only open to tank when the pressure in
channel P exceeds the set value of the pressure relief valve (7).
In load sensing systems the load pressure is led to the pump regulator via the LS connection. In the
neutral position the pump control sets the displacement so that leakage in the system is compensated
for, to maintain the set stand-by pressure.
When a main spool is actuated the pump regulator will adjust the displacement so that the set
differential pressure between P and LS is maintained. The pressure relief valve (7) in EVP should be set at
a pressure of approx. 30 bar above maximum system pressure (set on the pump or external pressure
relief valve).

Safety

Safety in Application
All types of control valves (incl. proportional valves) can fail, thus the necessary protection against the
serious consequences of function failure should always be built into the system. For each application an
assessment should be made for the consequences of pressure failure and uncontrolled or blocked
movements.
To determine the degree of protection that is required to be built into the application, system tools such
an FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) and Hazard and Risk Analysis can be used.

FMEA – IEC EN 61508

FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) is a tool used for analyzing potential risks. This analytical
technique is utilized to define, identify, and prioritize the elimination or reduction of known and/or
potential failures from a given system before it is released for production. Please refer to the standard IEC
FMEA 61508.

Hazard and risk analysis ISO 12100-1/14121

This analysis is a tool used in new applications as it will indicate whether there are special safety
considerations to be met according to the machine directives EN 13849. Dependent on the determined
levels conformity this analysis will detirmine if any extra requirements for the product design,
development process, production process or maintenance, example the complete product life cycle.

W Warning

All brands and all types of directional control or proportional valves, which are used in many different
operation conditions and applications, can fail and cause serious damage.
Analyze all aspects of the application. The machine builder/system integrator alone is responsible for
making the final selection of the products and assuring that all performance, safety and warning
requirements of the application are met. The process of choosing the control system and safety levels is
governed by the machine directives EN 13849 (Safety related requirements for control systems).

Technical Information
ECO 80 Directional Control Valve

Function

EVBS, main spools for flow control

When using standard flow control spools, the pump pressure is determined by the highest load pressure.
This is done either via the pressure adjustment spool in open center PVP (fixed displacement pumps) or
via the pump control (variable displacement pumps).
In this way the pump pressure will always correspond to the load pressure plus the stand-by pressure of
the pressure adjustment spool or the pump control. This will normally give optimum and stable
adjustment of the oil flow.

EVPX, electrical LS unloading valve

EVPX is a solenoid LS unloading valve. EVPX is fitted into the pump side module enabling a connection to
be made between the LS and the tank lines. Thus the LS signal can be relieved to tank by means of an
electric signal.
For an EVP pump side module in open center version the relief to tank of the LS signal means that the
pressure in the system is reduced to the sum of the tank port pressure plus the neutral flow pressure for
the pump side module.
For a EVP pump side module in closed center version the relief to tank of the LS signal means that the
pressure is reduced to the sum of the tank port pressure for the pump side module plus the stand-by
pressure of the pump.

Function

EVB, Work Section

Worksections are available in 2 variants (for mechanical actuation & for hydraulic or electro-hydraulic
actuation) and offer 2 option each: A ‘low’ body including p-channel check valves as well as a ‘medium’
body including p-channel check valve and shock & anti-cavitation valves. For both worksections all spool
options are available.
Low body

Medium body

The position of the tie-rods, location of P, T and LS lines are the same in both configurations. This enables
that worksections can be built into the same valve stack and can be arranged freely in the valve to enable
freedom in machine design.
The work sections does not facilitate possibility for options mounting.

ECO 80 Directional Control Valve

Function

EVOS, open spool mechanical actuation

The EVOS mechanical actuation consists of an aluminum base with a lever and a rubber boot to protect
the spool, mounted on the end of the valve slice. When actuating the lever the operator is directly pulling
or pushing on the main spool inside the valve hence controlling the flow.
The lever has a travel of 14° in either direction from neutral. Actuating the lever fully will move the spool
all 5 mm and give full flow. The lever can be mounted / removed without having to remove the EVOS
base.
The EVOS should be used with open spool mechanical actuation and can be combined with any EVME,
spring center, detent, through action and micro switch.

Actuation

EVM, Mechanical Actuation

The EVM consists of an aluminum base with a lever mounted on the end of the valve slice on side B.
When actuating the lever the operator is directly pulling or pushing on the main spool inside the valve
hence controlling the flow.
The lever has a travel of 13.8° in either direction from neutral. Actuating the lever fully will move the spool
all 5 mm and give full flow. The lever can be mounted / removed without having to remove the EVM
base. The EVM should be used with Electrical flow control spools and can be combined with any EVHC or
EVH.

Versions available:

EVM without adjustment screws

The standard EVM without adjustment screws will allow a spool travel of 5 mm in either direction. Full
lever movement to one side will give full flow to the work ports. When the spool is moved 5mm it will
stop due to a mechanical limitation build into the EVM base.

EVM with adjustment screws

The spool travel in either direction can be limited by the adjustment screws. This will limit the flow out of
the work ports thereby reducing the speed of an application.
The spool travel is adjusted by first loosening the nut then adjusting the pin screw. After adjustment the
nut must be tightened again applying 8 ±1 [N•m] of torque.

Electrical actuation

EVHC, Electrical control of ECO

The EVHC consists of an aluminum base with two solenoids pressure reducing valves mounted on the
end of the valve slice. When actuating with electrical proportional actuation, the main spool position is
adjusted so that its position corresponds to an electrical control signal.
The control signal is converted into a hydraulic pressure signal that moves the main spool in the EVB. This
is done by means of two proportional pressure-reducing valves. The electrical actuator can be controlled
either by a current amplifier card, or directly from a programmable microcontroller.
EVHC actuation module

The actuator controls the spool by building up pilot oil pressure on the end of the spool. For the EVHC is
necessary a pilot oil pressure between 25 and 30 bar.
The EVHC should be used with Electrical FLOW CONTROL spools and can be combined with any EVM.

ECO 80 Combinations

In ECO 80 it is possible for the same valve group to have the combination of all actuations type. It is
necessary to have the same group combination of EVM and EVOS to keep the sequence: EVM + EVOS, this
sequence is from the inlet.

Technical characteristics

EVB, basic modules oil flow characteristics

The oil flow for the individual spool depends on:
• Type of pump (fixed or variable displacement).

EVB basic modules, open center EVP

The spool flow is dependent on the supplied oil flow, QP.
The characteristics apply to supply oil flow of 80 l/min with the actuation of one basic module and the
supply flow level.
If several basic modules are activated at the same time, the characteristic depends on the load pressure
of the actuated basic modules.

PVLP, shock and PVLA, suction valves

PVLP is set at an oil flow of 10 l/min [2.6 US gal/min]. The shock valve PVLP is designed to absorb shock
effects. Consequently, it should not be used as a pressure relief valve.
If the working function requires the use of a pressure relief valve, a PVB basic module with built-in LSA/B
pressure limiting valve should be used.

Oil
The main duty of the oil in a hydraulic system is to transfer energy; but it must also lubricate the moving
parts in hydraulic components, protect them against corrosion, and transport dirt particles and heat out

normal operation and long working life.

Mineral oil
For systems with this valve Danfoss recommends the use of mineral-based hydraulic oil containing
additives: Type HLP (DIN 51524) or HM (ISO 6743/4).

Other operating conditions

Biodegradable oils and degree of contamination

Biodegradable oils
ECO 80 valves can be used in systems with rapeseed oil. The use of rapeseed oil is conditioned by:
• complying with the demands on viscosity, water content, temperature and filtering etc. (see chapters
below and technical data).
• adapting the operating conditions to the directions of the oil supplier.
Before using other biodegradable fluids, please consult the Danfoss organization. Oil filtration must
prevent particle content from exceeding an acceptable level, i.e., an acceptable degree of contamination.
Maximum contamination for ECO 80 is 23/19/16 (see ISO 4406. Calibration in accordance with the ACFTD
method). A degree of contamination of 23/19/16 can be maintained by using a filter fineness as
described in the next section. For more information, please see the Danfoss literature:
• Design Guidelines for Hydraulic Fluid Cleanliness Technical Information, 520L0467.
• Hydraulic Fluids and Lubricants Technical Information, 521L0463.
• Experience with Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluids Technical Information, 521L0465.

Filtration
Effective filtration is the most important precondition in ensuring that a hydraulic system performs
reliably and has a long working life. Filter manufacturers issue instructions and recommendations. It is
advisable to follow these.

System filters
Where demands on safety and reliability are very high a pressure filter with bypass and indicator is
recommended. Experience shows that a 10 µm nominal filter (or finer) or a 20 µm absolute filter (or finer)
is suitable. It is our experience that a return filter is adequate in a purely mechanically operated valve
system. The fineness of a pressure filter must be selected as described by the filter manufacturer so that a
particle level of 23/19/16 is not exceeded. The filter must be fitted with pressure gauge or dirt indicator to
make it possible to check the condition of the filter. In systems with differential cylinders or accumulators
the return filter must be sized to suit the max. return oil flow. Pressure filters must be fitted to suit max.
pump oil flow.

Internal filters
The filters built into PVG 32 are not intended to filter the system but to protect important components
against large particles. Such particles can appear in the system as a result of pump damage, hose fracture,
use of quick-couplings, filter damage, starting up, contamination, etc. The filter in the electrical actuator
PVE protecting the solenoid valves has a mesh of 150 µm. Bursting pressure drop for internal filters is 25
bar [360 psi].
