Description

This model describes a pilot operated pressure relief valve. The resistance depends on the pressure difference:

 

dp = pa.p - pb.p

pclosed_pilot=pclosed-pt.p

popen_pilot=popen-pt.p

dp < pclosed_pilot => valve closed, only leakage: pa.phi = pb.phi = dp * GLeak

pclosed_pilot < dp < popen_pilot => working range, i. e. valve partially opened

popen_pilot < dp => valve wide open: pa.phi = pb.phi = dp * GOpen

PilotOperatedPressureReliefValve

The opening pressure and the closing pressure can be shifted by adjusting the pilot pressure.
