.IBPSA.Fluid.Actuators.Valves.ThreeWayEqualPercentageLinear

Information

Three way valve with equal percentage characteristics between port_1 and port_2 and linear opening characteristic between port_3 and port_2. Such opening characteristics were typical for valves from Landis & Gyr (now Siemens).

This model is based on the partial valve models IBPSA.Fluid.Actuators.BaseClasses.PartialThreeWayValve and IBPSA.Fluid.Actuators.BaseClasses.PartialTwoWayValve. See IBPSA.Fluid.Actuators.BaseClasses.PartialThreeWayValve for the implementation of the three way valve and see IBPSA.Fluid.Actuators.BaseClasses.PartialTwoWayValve for the implementation of the regularization near the origin.
