Abstract
The present invention relates to a pressure control valve for regulating the oil pressure in an oil supply system preferably of an internal combustion engine, with a first working chamber which is in connection with an oil line, with a second working chamber which is in connection with an oil supply line, and with a control slide valve which is substantially movable by the oil pressure in the first working chamber in order to release a throttling aperture on exceeding a first predetermined oil pressure through which oil is released from the second working chamber to a recirculation system. A constructional simplification is achieved in such a way that the control slide valve is provided with a control element which is movable by the oil pressure in the second working chamber relative to a main body of the control slide valve and which on exceeding a second predetermined oil pressure in the second working chamber will release the throttling opening through which oil from the second working chamber is released to the recirculation system.
