Three way valve with equal percentage and linear characteristics

Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Valves.ThreeWayEqualPercentageLinear

Information


Three way valve with equal percentage characteristics between port_1 and port_2 and linear opening characteristic between port_1 and port_2. Such opening characteristics were typical for valves from Landis & Gyr (now Siemens).

This model is based on the partial valve models PartialThreeWayValve and PartialTwoWayValve. See PartialThreeWayValve for the implementation of the three way valve and see PartialTwoWayValve for the implementation of the leakage flow or the regularization near the origin.

Extends from BaseClasses.PartialThreeWayValve (Partial three way valve).
