modelValveDiscreteRamp

Valve for water/steam flows with discrete opening signal and ramp opening

Extends from Modelica.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialTwoPortTransport (Partial element transporting fluid between two ports without storage of mass or energy).

Information

This model is similar to ValveDiscrete, except that the valve opens gradually with an opening time Topen and closes gradually with a closing time Tclose instead of doing so abruptly. This can help to avoid unrealistic phenomena such as reversing flows when accurate fluid models with small compressiblity are employed.
