Two-Way Two-Position Valve
Two-position valve that controls flow between two ports
Description
Connections
Parameters
The Two-Way Two-Position Valve component allows flow between ports A and P with two positions to control the flow.
The real input s controls the position of the value. An input of 0 corresponds to position 0, an input of 1 to position 1. Intermediates values produce an averaged position, with the transition length set by the band parameter.
The following figure shows how s and band effect the valve opening.
Formulation Approaches
One of two approaches can be selected for modeling the flow in the device. When the boolean parameter Use constant Cd is true, a constant coefficient of discharge (Cd) is used, otherwise a variable coefficient of discharge with maximum value (Cd⁡max) and a critical flow number (Critno) are used.
