Description

This model is a pilot operated check valve with parasitic volumes.

PilotOperatedCheckValveStates

The flow through a pilot operated check depends on the differential pressure dp between the inlet port pa and the outlet port pb and is equal to:

 

flow = Q_nom * sqrt( dp / p_nom) + (Q_leak/p_nom)*dp

 

The variable valve indicates the valve opening and varies between zero (closed) and 1 (open). The opening depends on a force balance which depends on the pressures of the inlet and outlet port, the spring force and the pressure of the pilot port px:

 

valve = limit( ( pa.p - pb.p - pclosed + px.p*kp )/(popen - pclosed) , 0 , 1 )

 

The pilot ratio kp is ratio of the pilot piston area and the check valve area. For a large pilot ratio a relatively small pilot pressure is sufficient to open the valve against a large outlet pressure.
