Three way valves with different opening characteristics
Information
Test model for three way valves. Note that the
leakage flow rate has been set to a large value
and the rangeability to a small value
for better visualization of the valve characteristics.
To use common values, use the default values.

Two way valves with pressure independent opening characteristic
Information
Test model for pressure independent valves. Note that the leakage at full mass flow rate (l2) has been set to a large value for better visualization of the valve characteristics. To use common values, use the default values.
The parameter filterOpening is set to false, as this model is used to plot the flow at different opening signals without taking into account the travel time of the actuator.

Two way valve with nonlinear opening characteristics based on a table
Information
Test model for a two way valve in which a table is used to specify the
opening characteristics.
The valve has the following opening characteristics, which is taken from a test case
of the IEA EBC Annex 60 project.
| y |
0 | 0.1667 | 0.3333 | 0.5 | 0.6667 | 1 |
| Kv |
0 | 0.19 | 0.35 | 0.45 | 0.5 | 0.65 |
The Kv value is the volume flow rate in m3/h at a pressure difference
of 1 bar.
Hence, the Kv value of the fully open valve is Kv=0.65.
Plotting the variables kv.y versus y.y shows that the valve
reproduces the Kv values shown in the above table.
The parameter filterOpening is set to false,
as this model is used to plot the flow at different opening signals
without taking into account the travel time of the actuator.

Two way valves with different opening characteristics and motor
Information
Test model for two way valves. Note that the
leakage flow rate has been set to a large value
and the rangeability to a small value
for better visualization of the valve characteristics.
To use common values, use the default values.
All valves are connected to a model of a motor with
hysteresis. A more efficient implementation that approximates
a motor but lacks hysteresis would be to
set the valve parameter filteredOpening=true instead
of using the motor model.

Two way valve with linear opening characteristics
Information
Test model for two way valves.
The instance valTab has a linear opening characteristics
based on a table, while valLin also has a linear opening
characteristics that is directly implemented in the model.
For practical applications in which valves with linear opening characteristics
are used, one should use valLin rather
than valTab as valLin is a more efficient
implementation.
This test demonstrates that both valves have, as expected, the same
mass flow rate for the whole range of the opening signal.
The parameter filterOpening is set to false,
as this model is used to plot the flow at different opening signals
without taking into account the travel time of the actuator.

Model to test and illustrate different parameterization for valves
Information
Test model for two way valves. This model tests the
different parameterization of the valve model.
All valves have approximately the same mass flow rates.
Small differences exist due to differences in the mass density that is used
to compute the parameters.
If the mass flow rates differ by more than 1%, then the assert blocks
will terminate the simulation with an error message.
