Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Examples.ThreeWayValves

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.

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.

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.

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.
