Test model for a two way valve in which a table is used to specify the opening characteristics. The valve has the following opening characteristics, which is taken from a test case of the IEA EBC Annex 60 project.
y | 0 | 0.1667 | 0.3333 | 0.5 | 0.6667 | 1 |
Kv | 0 | 0.19 | 0.35 | 0.45 | 0.5 | 0.65 |
The Kv value is the volume flow rate in m3/h at a pressure difference of 1 bar. Hence, the Kv value of the fully open valve is Kv=0.65.
Plotting the variables kv.y
versus y.y
shows that the valve
reproduces the Kv values shown in the above table.
The parameter filterOpening
is set to false
,
as this model is used to plot the flow at different opening signals
without taking into account the travel time of the actuator.

.
This also avoids an error in OpenModelica.
