Information

Two way valve with opening characteristic that is configured through a table.

The mass flow rate for the fully open valve is determined based on the value of the parameter CvData. For the different valve positions y ∈ [0, 1], this nominal flow rate is scaled by the values of the parameter flowCharacteristics. The parameter flowCharacteristics declares a table of the form

y 0 ... 1
φ l ... 1

where l = Kv(y=0)/Kv(y=1) > 0 is the valve leakage. The first row is the valve opening, and the second row is the mass flow rate, relative to the mass flow rate of the fully open valve, under the assumption of a constant pressure difference across the valve. A suggested value for the valve leakage is l=0.0001. If l = 0, then this model will replace it with l = 10-8 for numerical reasons. For example, if a valve has Kv=0.5 [m3/h/bar1/2] and a linear opening characteristics and a valve leakage of l=0.0001, then one would set

 CvData=IBPSA.Fluid.Types.CvTypes.Kv
 Kv = 0.5
 flowCharacteristics(y={0,1}, phi={0.0001,1})
 

Note, however, that IBPSA.Fluid.Actuators.Valves.TwoWayLinear provides a more efficient implementation for this simple case.

The parameter flowCharacteristics must meet the following requirements, otherwise the model stops with an error:

This model is based on the partial valve model IBPSA.Fluid.Actuators.BaseClasses.PartialTwoWayValve. Check this model for more information, such as the regularization near the origin.

For an example that specifies an opening characteristics, see IBPSA.Fluid.Actuators.Valves.Examples.TwoWayValveTable.
