Information

The Valve model represents the expansion of a fluid through a valve.

The assumptions for this model are:

• No dynamics ( it is considered negligible when compared to the one characterizing the heat exchanger).
• No ambient heat losses (the expansion is assumed isenthalpic)
• Incompressible flow for computing the pressure drop
• Quadratic pressure drop (turbulent flow)
