<p>A fluid flow control system includes a priority valve which is controlled by a pressure differential applied across the valve, and which directs priority flow to a steering circuit and excess flow to an auxiliary circuit. The system insures that during steering, a relatively high pressure differential is required to shift the priority valve away from a priority steering position in which all fluid flow is delivered to the steering circuit. It also insures that when the flow to the steering circuit is sufficient to satisfy the steering demand, and the valve is also directing flow to the auxiliary circuit, a lower pressure differential is required to shift the valve in a direction for increasing the flow to the auxiliary circuit.</p> |
