Information

This is a model of a control valve with five ports and three states. The valve has a tank port t, a pressure port p, a load port a, and two pilot ports p1 and p2. The insignal, u, to the spool is the pressure difference between ports p1 and p2. The valve is controlled by a hydraulic spool with first-order dynamics; see SpoolH.


Control valve with three ports and three states


Valve at center position, u = 0; there is only leakage flow between the ports if there is no overlap


Valve at right position, u = -1; there is flow from a to t


Valve at left position, u = 1; there is flow from p to a

Implementation

This valve basically consists of orifices controlled by a spool.
