Information

This is a model of a check valve with lumped volumes. If the pressure difference is higher than pMin, the valve begins to open; when the pressure difference has reached pMax, the valve is completely open. If the pressure is less than pMin, the valve is closed and has only leakage flow. This behavior makes the component only allow flow in one direction. The ball is modeled with a spool with first-order dynamics; see SpoolH.

Implementation

This valve basically consists of an orifice controlled by a spool.
