A servomechanism for a valve controlling engine intake flow via a cooler and a bypass uses a proportional solenoid operating a hydraulic valve to power a hydraulic actuator setting the position of the control valve. An engine sensor and electric controller provide input to the proportional solenoid, and feedback from the position of the control valve is applied to the hydraulic valve by a cam and spring applying a force in opposition to the proportional solenoid.

Control system regulating air flow to engine intake

A two-stage proportional control valve assembly regulates flow of a first fluid such as an engine exhaust gas using a second fluid such as engine oil for power. A directional valve under control of an electrical actuator regulates flows of the second fluid to operate a fluid-powered actuator. A mechanical connection between the fluid powered actuator and a flow control valve for regulating flows of the first fluid enables the electrical actuator to indirectly control the flow control valve with a minimum draw.

Proportional control valve assembly for exhaust gas recirculation system

A directional valve (170) includes an actuator (92, 144) responsive to feedback pressure from a closed volume load (182) for regulating fluid pressure of the load proportional to an electric signal (172). A double-acting cylinder (64, 148) has a plunger (58, 150) operatively associated with the actuator (92, 144) for opposing movement of the actuator proportional to the feedback pressure of the closed volume load. Opposite faces (66, 68 and 156, 158) of the plunger (58, 150) are arranged to balance the directional valve (170) against working pressure within the valve and to control the magnitude of the feedback force opposing movement of the actuator (92, 144).
