H-4 CONTROLAIR® VALVE

Service Information

DESCRIPTION OF MODELS

The H-4 Type CONTROLAIR Valves are knob

operated 3-way pressure graduating valves. The knob
actuates the pressure graduating portion to increase,
decrease or maintain graduated air pressure to a
separate delivery line.

In knob “release” position the delivery line is connected

to exhaust. Knob rotation from release position
actuates the graduating portion to deliver graduated
pressure to a delivery line according to the value of
control spring being used. The knob is self holding in
all positions.

The H-4 CONTROLAIR Valve is available with either

clockwise rotation or counterclockwise rotation of the
knob increasing pressure.

 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
VALVE
FUNCTION

Exhaust Outlet

Inlet

Description of Operation

When the knob is in released position, the “IN” port is

closed to supply pressure and “OUT” port is open to
exhaust.

Note in the diagrammatic, when the knob is rotated to

increase pressure, the shaft and cam are also rotated. The
rotation of the knob allows the cam to push down the
pressure control plunger, closing the lower exhaust valve
and opening the upper supply valve which permits air flow
to out port delivery and the upper diaphragm chamber. As Inlet & Exhaust
the pressure builds up in the delivery line it acts through Valve Unit
the sensing port orifice and deflects the control diaphragm
downward, compressing the control spring. When sufficient
diaphragm deflection is reached to allow the upper supply Supply Valve
valve in the pressure control portion to close, the pressure
in the delivery line is held to that valve. The valve of the
pressure delivered to the outlet port is proportional to the
pressure control plunger movement. This movement in turn
is controlled by the cam contour and is therefore
proportional to the knob travel.
Exhaust Valve
The Controlair Valve will automatically compensate for
downstream air pressure changes in the graduated Diaphragm
pressure delivery line. These air pressure changes can be
caused by line leakage, temperature change or load
feedback. If air pressure at the outlet port increases over
that called for by handle position, the diaphragm in the Range Control
control portion will deflect downward opening the lower Spring
exhaust valve and exhausting air until the original setting is
obtained. If the pressure drops below that called for by the
handle position, the decreased force on the diaphragm will
allow the control spring to force the diaphragm upward,
opening the upper supply valve to restore the set pressure. Exhaust Port Adjusting Screw
The range of pressure is controlled by the strength of the
diaphragm spring. Various values are available as shown
on Identity Schedule, page 5.

The H-4 Controlair is factory set to provide normal 240 DIAGRAMMATIC VIEW
degree rotation of the control knob. However, the 240-
degree rotation can be reduced by changing the
relationship of the stop with the cam brake.
