Pressure Compensated Valve

As shown in the diagram, fluids enter the valve from the inlet and dividen into two flows. One fluid flow goes through the center hole of Opening B and get pass to fill the center tube of the Piston A. After the fluids flows into the tube, it will be pushed and pressurize out through the outlet that positioned right after the body of Piston A. These pressure are increased by the flow that also compacting the volume of the tube as an effect of the movement of Piston A when pressed by that flow that came from the inlet and pressurize the Piston A.
The other flow of the flow hits the wall of piston A surrounding the Opening B area, this pressure of mass flow fluid will push the Piston A to the direction of Spring C. When the piston finally reach the end of its lane and touched spring C, automatically the outlet valve that is located on the side of the tube will be closed. When this outlet is closed, the fluid that enters Piston A through Opening B will be trapped and holded inside the main tube of Piston A. These processes are united in one whole cycle that would repeat itself one after another as long as the fluid flows and will stop when the fluid stops.
