.ThermofluidStream.Undirected.FlowControl.BasicControlValve .ThermofluidStream.Undirected.FlowControl.BasicControlValveUndirected implementation of the Basic Control Valve.
This model serves for most incompressible applications where basic control valves are needed.
The modeler has the ability to choose between different valve characteristics and flow coefficients.
The three standard curve characteristics (linear, parabolic, equal-percentage) are implemented and can be chosen.
To conclude the parameterization, a flow coefficient has to be set. Most data sheets of valves deliver a corresponding "KVs (CVs)"-Value. Otherwise a nominal mass-flow rate can be set.
For incompressible flow, the reference values for density (1g/cm3) and pressure (1bar) should be unchanged.
