Information
This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.
Valve model according to the IEC 534/ISA S.75 standards for valve sizing, compressible fluid, no phase change, also covering choked-flow conditions.
The parameters of this model are explained in detail in PartialValve (the base model for valves).
This model can be used with gases and vapours, with arbitrary pressure ratio between inlet and outlet.
The product Fk*xt is given by the parameter Fxt_full, and is assumed constant by default. The relative change (per unit) of the xt coefficient with the valve opening can be specified by replacing the xtCharacteristic function.
If checkValve is false, the valve supports reverse flow, with a symmetric flow characteristic curve. Otherwise, reverse flow is stopped (check valve behaviour).
The treatment of parameters Kv and Cv is explained in detail in the User's Guide.
