Would like to learn about pressure control and (un)load control of displacement type pumps for liquids.
My sprayer piston pump has an adjustible pressure regulator, controlling the pressure at the hose and wand. What puzzles me is the following. Upon CLOSING the wand the pumped fluid is returned to the tank. Not simply through a pressure limit valve because the engine driving the pump labors LESS when the wand is closed and the liquid just flows, not squirts, back into the tank. The device seems to be called an unloader valve. How in the world does this valve operate? How does it know to increase the pressure the very moment I open the nearly pressureless wand? And, likewise, how does it reduce the pressure at the moment I close the wand? There must be a clever control mechanism, which I would like to master, because I hopefully can operate this pump safely. Functional description, pics, or pointers to books or web sites would be great.
(What I have is a 1950's Hardie sprayer with a 3-cylinder piston pump. To give you an idea of its capacity: 600 psi, 15 gallons per minute.)

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
