Iconic Diagrams\Hydraulics\Valves
Domains: Continuous. Size: 1-D. Kind: Iconic Diagrams (Hydraulics).
This model describes a 4/3-way directional control valve with second order spool dynamics and parasitic volumes. The flow through the valves is described as laminar/turbulent flow through an orifice. A detailed description of the valve can be found in FourThreeWayDirectionalValve.htm.
The spool position is indicated by the input spoolpos:
sp = -1 |
Flow from p to b and a to t |
sp = 0 |
No flow |
sp = 1 |
Flow from p to a and b to t |
Values between -1 and 0 or between 0 and 1 are rounded to the nearest value.
The 4/3-way proportional control valve is implemented with various spool center configurations. The configurations are shown in the picture below:
When you drag and drop a model in the editor, you will be asked which implementation you want to choose. During modeling you can easily change the spool center configuration:
1. | Select the valve model. |
2. | Click the right mouse button to open the right mouse menu. |
3. | Click Edit Implementation and choose another implementation. |
