The article presents the evaluation of possibility of pressure losses reduction at the flow through a WEH22 hydraulic directional control valve. For this purpose, 3D models of flow paths were built using the Creo Parametric software. Then the models were used in the ANSYS/Fluent software to calculate pressure losses. The results of the analysis have allowed for determination of possibilities of pressure losses reduction without changing overall dimensions of the valve body.
