The pilot air and main air are at the same pressure (30 bar).
The pilot air at the back of the valve is acting on a greater
area than the main air trying to open the valve. This
together with the spring force keeps the valve closed.
When the pilot air is vented, the air acting on the front of
the valve overcomes the spring pressure and the valve
opens.
