Description

FlowControlValve-States

This model describes a flow control valve with with parasitic volumes.

FlowControlValve

In this model the flow is modeled by an tanh function. The pressure drop is defined as the pressure where 95% of the desired flow rate is achieved.

 

dp = pa.p - pb.p

phi = if dp > 0 then

 Q_set*tanh( (arctan(0.95)/p_drop) * dp) + GLeak * dp;

else

 GLeak * dp

end;

 

Here phi is the desired flow and p_drop is the 95% pressure drop. Gleak is the conductance of laminar leakage flow when the valve is closed. The pressure at both ports has a lower limit that is equal to the vapour pressure. Therefore the actual equations used in this model are:

 

p1_lim = if pa.p < p_vapour then p_vapour else pa.p end;

p2_lim = if pb.p < p_vapour then p_vapour else pb.p end;

dp = p1_lim - p2_lim;
